This is to inform the general public and all Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH) aspirants that the Department of Computer Science admission requirements has been published.
The requirements cover the O Level credits, the four JAMB papers and the minimum UTME score. A clause at the end of the credit list makes two further subjects compulsory.

Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Computer Science include Five (5) SSCE credit passes in the following subjects:
- Mathematics
- Basic Science and any three other subjects are chosen from below:
- Economics
- Geography
- Government/History
- Further Mathematics
- Physics
- Chemistry
- Biology/Agricultural Science
- English Language
- Typewriting
- Credit passes in English Language and Physics are compulsory
Mathematics and Basic Science open the list, with three more subjects drawn from the group below. The closing line then makes English Language and Physics compulsory as well.
Taken together that accounts for four of the five credits, leaving one place to fill from Economics, Geography, Government or History, Further Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology or Agricultural Science and Typewriting.
The Physics clause is the one to check first, since it sits at the foot of the list rather than with the named subjects at the top.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Mathematics and any two subjects from below:
- Geography
- Physics
- Economics
- Chemistry
The JAMB combination is shorter. English Language and Mathematics are compulsory, and two papers come from Geography, Physics, Economics and Chemistry.
Physics is only one of four options there despite being a compulsory credit, so the two lists have to be satisfied separately.
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.
