Geography JAMB Syllabus
The Jamb Geography Syllabus provides guidance to all candidates registered for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) on the specific content related to the English language that will be tested in the exam.
The examination is specifically designed to assess the candidates’ comprehension and mastery of all aspects of the Geography syllabus. Candidates for the UTME are expected to possess comprehensive understanding of the whole English Language syllabus.
It is crucial to give special consideration to the suggested books and literature for certain disciplines, as questions will be based on these references in the 2024 Jamb UTME.
To promote a reading culture, each candidate is typically required to purchase a recommended book during the registration process.
The book’s content is evaluated by questions in the mandatory Geography exam for all candidates. Thus, it is recommended that each candidate ensures they receive a copy of the book during the registration process.
