This is to inform the general public and all Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH) aspirants that the Department of Business Administration & Management admission requirements has been published.
The requirements cover the O Level credits, the four JAMB papers and the minimum UTME score. Both lists leave three places open, but they draw on very different pools of subjects.

Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Business Administration & Management include Five (5) SSCE credit passes in the following subjects:
- English Language (not Literature in English)
- Mathematics and any three subjects from the following:
- Economics/Commerce
- Business Methods
- Principles of Accounts
- Literature in English
- Geography
- Office Practice
- Biology/Agricultural Science
- Chemistry
- Physics
- History/Government
- Typewriting
- Shorthand
English Language and Mathematics are the two named credits, with three more drawn from a twelve subject list. The bracketed note confirms that Literature in English cannot stand in for English Language.
That list is deliberately wide, taking in Typewriting, Shorthand and Office Practice alongside Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
A candidate from a science stream and one from a secretarial programme can therefore both satisfy the credit requirement.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Mathematics and two of the following:
- Geography
- Commerce
- Government
- Principles of Accounts
- Economics
The JAMB list is strictly commercial. English Language and Mathematics are compulsory, and the other two papers come from Geography, Commerce, Government, Principles of Accounts and Economics.
None of the science or secretarial subjects accepted at O Level appears here, so the form is the narrower of the two.
JAMB Score
All candidates interested in getting admitted into YABATECH for the 2026/2027 session should know that to be eligible for the screening, you must have scored 150 or above in your JAMB result.

Wide Credits, Narrow JAMB Options at YABATECH Business Administration
English Language and Mathematics are compulsory on both lists, which accounts for half the credit requirement and half the JAMB papers before any choice is made.
Beyond those two the pools diverge sharply, with sciences and secretarial subjects counting at O Level but only commercial and social science papers accepted in JAMB. Register accordingly and clear 150 for the 2026/2027 session.
