I was supposed to sit for WAEC this year(June 2020) and since it was cancelled, which Major will these qualify me for and wj=hile waiting for WASSCE to be rescheduled i missed the POST-UTME registration what can i do?
There’s actually nothing you can do except you search for a school that the post UTME form is still on sale. Again, I can see you didn’t make mathematics, which is a compulsory requirement for admission. So gaining admission is not possible as it is.
I scored 179 in my jamb to study science laboratory technician am I qualified

Please my jamb score was 193 and I want to study public administration but I made a mistake while I was writing my jamb last year,I did eng, literature government and crs,it’s a wrong combination but I have the full combination in olevel

You won’t be considered for Public Administration because your JAMB subject combination is a key player in the course you are applying for. If it is wrong, then you cannot be considered for the course even if your O’level subject combination is correct.
