This is to inform the general public and all Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH) aspirants that the Department of Computer Engineering admission requirements has been published.
The requirements cover the O Level credits, the four JAMB papers and the minimum UTME score. English Language sits in the optional group at O Level yet is compulsory in JAMB.

Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Computer Engineering include Five (5) SSCE credit passes in the following subjects:
- Mathematics
- Physics
- Chemistry and any two subjects from below:
- Biology/Agricultural Science
- Technical Drawing
- Basic Electronics/Basic Electricity
- Auto Mechanics
- Metal Work
- Further Mathematics
- English Language
- Geography
- Economics/Commerce
Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry are the three named credits, with two more drawn from the list below. English Language appears in that optional group rather than at the top.
The rest of the group is technical, covering Technical Drawing, Basic Electricity, Auto Mechanics and Metal Work, with Further Mathematics, Geography and Economics or Commerce alongside them.
Biology and Agricultural Science are accepted too, so a general science candidate can fill both open places without a workshop subject.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Mathematics
- Physics
- Chemistry/Technical Drawing
The JAMB combination fixes English Language, Mathematics and Physics, and offers one choice between Chemistry and Technical Drawing for the fourth paper.
Chemistry is a compulsory credit regardless of that choice, so registering Technical Drawing does not remove it from your result sheet.
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.

Where English Language Sits on the YABATECH Computer Engineering Lists
Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry are the named credits, while English Language appears only in the optional group even though it is compulsory on the JAMB form.
In practice that means sitting English Language regardless, and deciding whether Chemistry or Technical Drawing fills your fourth JAMB paper. Then make sure your score reaches 150 for the 2026/2027 session.
