Admission requirements for the Department of Computer Engineering at the Ibadan Polytechnic (POLYIBADAN) have been published. They cover the O’Level subject combination, the JAMB papers, the polytechnic JAMB score and the departmental cut-off.
Mathematics and Physics sit at the top of both subject lists, as they do across the engineering departments here. The flexibility is in the two remaining O’Level credits.
On scores, the polytechnic cut-off is 150 and the departmental mark for Computer Engineering is 181, so there is a real gap between qualifying and competing.

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.
Technical Subjects Count Towards Ibadan Poly Computer Engineering
The O’Level requirement fixes Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, then asks for two more from a list built around practical subjects.
Technical Drawing, Basic Electronics or Basic Electricity, Auto Mechanics and Metal Work all qualify, alongside Biology or Agricultural Science, Further Mathematics, English Language, Geography and Economics or Commerce.
That recognition of trade subjects matters. A technical college candidate can satisfy the two optional credits from workshop subjects alone.
The JAMB papers are English Language, Mathematics, Physics, and then Chemistry or Technical Drawing. That final pairing is the only choice on the UTME side.
If you hold Technical Drawing, it can serve both as an optional O’Level credit and as your fourth JAMB paper, which keeps your preparation focused.
Aim at the departmental mark of 181 rather than the 150 polytechnic minimum, and confirm your Mathematics and Physics credits before registering.
