This is to inform the general public and all Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH) aspirants that the Department of Industrial Maintenance Engineering Technology admission requirements has been published.
The requirements cover the O Level credits, the four JAMB papers and the minimum UTME score. The credit list is strict while the JAMB combination is left remarkably open.

Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Industrial Maintenance Engineering Technology include Five (5) SSCE credit passes in the following subjects:
- English Language
- 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
English Language, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry are the named credits, with two more drawn from the list below them. That makes six subjects in total rather than five.
The optional group is technical in character, covering Technical Drawing, Basic Electricity, Auto Mechanics and Metal Work alongside Further Mathematics, Geography and Economics or Commerce.
Biology and Agricultural Science also appear there, so candidates from a general science background can fill those places without workshop subjects.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Mathematics and any two subjects
The JAMB combination names only English Language and Mathematics, leaving the other two papers entirely open. That is unusual for an engineering programme.
Physics and Chemistry are still required as credits, so the freedom on the form does not extend to 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.

Strict Credits, Open JAMB Papers at YABATECH Industrial Maintenance Engineering
The two lists pull in opposite directions. Four named credits plus two from a technical list at O Level, against a JAMB combination that fixes only English Language and Mathematics.
Treat the credit list as the real test, since Physics and Chemistry are checked there whether or not you sit them in JAMB. Then make sure your score reaches 150 for the 2026/2027 session.
