The Polytechnic Ibadan has published the admission requirements for its Department of Mechatronics Engineering. Candidates are measured on three things, namely the O’level subject combination, the four papers written at JAMB UTME, and the cut-off marks applied at institution and departmental level.
Three O’level subjects are fixed here, namely Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. Two more come from a workshop oriented list that includes Technical Drawing, Basic Electronics or Basic Electricity, Auto Mechanics, Metal Work, Further Mathematics, Geography and Economics or Commerce.
A credit pass in English Language is required on top of those five, and the UTME combination names all four of its papers with only one alternative permitted.
This is to inform the general public that the admission requirements for the Department of Mechatronics Engineering at the Ibadan Polytechnic (IBADAN POLY) have been published.

The admission requirements include O’level Subject combinations, JAMB UTME Subject combinations, and School and Departmental Cut-Off Marks.
Entry Requirements

About The Polytechnic Ibadan
The Polytechnic Ibadan is a state-funded and managed polytechnic in Oyo State, Nigeria’s southwest.
The polytechnic was founded in 1970 as an institution dedicated to high-quality academics/education and research to develop new approaches for science and business use.
The Polytechnic Ibadan has a large and diverse student body that includes students of various ages, religions, and cultural backgrounds.
Workshop Subjects and the 177 Mark at IBADANPOLY Mechatronics
This department scores above the institutional bar. The general requirement is 150 and above in JAMB, while the departmental cut-off mark for Mechatronics Engineering is 177, so measure your result against the higher figure.
The optional O’level group is where technical college candidates gain ground. Auto Mechanics, Metal Work and Basic Electronics all count toward the two free subjects, which suits students who trained in a workshop rather than a laboratory.
At UTME that latitude narrows sharply. English Language, Mathematics and Chemistry are fixed, and the only choice left is Physics or Technical Drawing in the fourth slot.
Since Physics is already compulsory among the O’level credits, picking Technical Drawing at JAMB does not remove it from your result sheet. Check both lists separately before you register.
