Computer Science at Modibbo Adama University of Technology, Yola is taught under the Faculty of Sciences. The requirements below are set for this course alone and should be read against the current listings for Modibbo Adama University of Technology, Yola.
The UTME route here is marginally more forgiving than the engineering courses at the same institution, because the third science slot accepts either Chemistry or Biology. Everything else in the combination is fixed.
Confirm that Computer Science is on the current MAUTECH course list and that you have selected it correctly before registering for JAMB. A wrongly entered course cannot be matched against the requirements described here.

Admission Requirements for Computer Science
WAEC/NECO Subject Combination
The WAEC/NECO subject combination and requirements needed to study Computer Science is Five (5) SSCE credits in Mathematics, English Language, Physics, Chemistry, and any science subject.
JAMB Subject Combination
In UTME, please note that the English Language is Compulsory for this course.
Therefore, the three (3) other JAMB UTME subject combinations needed to study Computer Science under the Faculty of Sciences at MAUTECH include;
Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry/Biology.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Computer Science if you don’t intend to use UTME.
You require;
Two (2) ‘A’ Level/NCE passes in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry.
JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into MAUTECH for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have scored a minimum of 180 and above in your JAMB result.
The One Flexible Slot in MAUTECH Computer Science
At O’Level the course asks for five SSCE credits in Mathematics, English Language, Physics, Chemistry and any science subject. Four papers are named outright, and only the fifth is left to the candidate.
The UTME combination is where the small concession appears. English Language is compulsory, Mathematics and Physics are fixed, and the third subject may be either Chemistry or Biology.
Direct Entry closes that gap again. Two ‘A’ Level or NCE passes are required in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, with no Biology alternative offered at this level.
A JAMB score of 180 is the screening threshold for the 2026/2027 session. It decides eligibility rather than selection, and Computer Science is among the courses at MAUTECH where applicants typically sit above the floor.
