Admission requirements for the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the Ibadan Polytechnic (IBADAN POLY) have been published. They cover the O’Level subject combination, the JAMB papers, the JAMB score and the departmental cut-off.
Mathematics and Physics sit at the head of both subject lists, which is what you would expect of an engineering course. The choice this department offers sits in the remaining O’Level places.
On scores, the polytechnic cut-off is 180 and the departmental mark for Electrical and Electronic Engineering is 185, so the two figures are only five points apart.

Where the Choice Lies in Ibadan Poly Electrical and Electronic Engineering
The O’Level requirement fixes Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, then asks for two more subjects from a notably practical list.
That list runs through Biology or Agricultural Science, Technical Drawing, Basic Electronics or Basic Electricity, Auto Mechanics, Metal Work and Further Mathematics, as well as English Language, Geography and Economics or Commerce.
Candidates from a technical college background are well served by it, since Basic Electricity, Auto Mechanics and Metal Work all count towards the requirement.
The JAMB papers are English Language, Mathematics, Physics, and then either Chemistry or Technical Drawing. That final pairing is the one real decision on the UTME side.
Technical Drawing is worth considering if you have studied it, because it appears in both the O’Level list and the JAMB alternative, letting one subject serve twice.
Aim for the departmental mark of 185 rather than the polytechnic minimum of 180, and confirm your Mathematics and Physics credits before you register.
