The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) warns 2027 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) candidates to ensure they choose correct subject combinations and to avoid common errors that could affect their admission chances.

Across the reports, JAMB’s guidance focuses on preventing registration mistakes—particularly selecting the wrong subjects—which candidates are told can affect eligibility for the courses they want. One outlet also frames the message as part of a broader checklist of mistakes candidates should avoid, extending beyond subject combinations.

Differences in coverage mainly reflect emphasis and framing rather than conflicting claims: some outlets lead with the subject-combination warning, while others highlight a broader set of five mistakes that JAMB lists. Where dates or the number of mistakes are mentioned, those details shape how the articles introduce and structure JAMB’s advice.
