Automobile Technology Education is taught under the Faculty of Education at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU). Auto Technical is among the O’Level subjects accepted, which is rare and directly relevant here.
Direct Entry also recognises an NCE in the relevant study area at merit or lower credit. Together these make the programme genuinely reachable from a technical college background.
Confirm that Automobile Technology Education appears on the current ATBU course list and that your JAMB registration records it correctly before you sit the examination.

Auto Technical Counts Towards ATBU Automobile Technology Education
The O’Level requirement is five credit passes in English Language and Mathematics, with one of Biology or Agricultural Science, Physics, or Chemistry, and two more from a technical list.
That list covers General Science or Integrated Science, Technical Drawing or Fine Art, Geography, Health Science, Food and Nutrition, Physical and Health Education, Auto Technical, Building, Electrical Electronic, Metal Work and Wood Work.
The UTME combination is much tighter. English Language is compulsory, Mathematics and Physics are named, and the third subject is left open.
Physics is only one of three options at O’Level but compulsory at JAMB. A candidate who offered Chemistry instead will still have to sit Physics in the examination.
Direct Entry accepts an NCE at merit or lower credit in the relevant study area, or two ‘A’ level passes in the UTME subjects. A JAMB score of 180 and above applies for the 2026/2027 session.
