This combination differs in respect to the course which you are aspiring to study, as the four subjects combination for Nursing is not the same for Electrical And Electronic Engineering/Technology.
Although as a Nigerian and in as much as you are taking JAMB it is important to note that you must include English language in your combination.
The four sets of subjects combination are English language and any other three which are related to the course you want to study in the institution.
Also these subject combinations are related to your choice of courses as it provides basic knowledge of the whole which you will be studying in the institution.
What Is Electrical And Electronic Technology?
I deem it fit to first explain what Electrical And Electronic Technology is all about before going ahead to provide you with all the subjects combination.
Electrical And Electronic Technology as the name implies is a field that deals with the application of electrical and electronic principles to design, develop, and maintain electrical and electronic systems. This field combines electrical engineering and electronics engineering to provide a comprehensive understanding of electrical and electronic systems.
B.Tech Electrical/Electronic is the certificate which you will be offered upon completing the study in any Nigeria universities.
