This is to inform the general public and all Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH) aspirants that the Department of Industrial Technical Education admission requirements has been published.
The requirements cover the O Level credits, the four JAMB papers, four Direct Entry routes and the minimum UTME score. Technical certificates count for a great deal in this department.

Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Industrial Technical Education include the following:
- Five (5) ‘O’ Level credit passes to include Physics or Mathematics
The O Level line is very short. Only one subject is pinned down, and even that is a choice between Physics and Mathematics, leaving four credits entirely open.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Mathematics
- Physics and one (1) other Science subject
The JAMB form asks for considerably more. English Language and Mathematics are compulsory, Physics is fixed, and a further science subject completes the four papers.
So a candidate who satisfies the O Level line with Mathematics alone still has to sit Physics in JAMB.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Industrial Technical Education if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require;
- Two (2) ‘A’ Level passes in Physics and Mathematics.
- ND lower credit in Civil Engineering, Production/Electrical Engineering.
- Final City and Guilds or its equivalent plus National Technical Certificate.
- NCE credit in Technical Education plus ‘O’ Level credit passes in Physics or Mathematics.
Four Direct Entry routes are offered. A Level passes in Physics and Mathematics, an ND at lower credit in named engineering fields, a City and Guilds Final with a National Technical Certificate, or an NCE credit in Technical Education.
The ND route is notable for accepting lower credit, and the NCE route attaches the same Physics or Mathematics condition that appears at O Level.
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.
About Yaba College of Technology
Yaba College of Technology, also known as YABATECH, is a Federal Polytechnic in Lagos State. It is regarded as one of the best polytechnics in the state and is funded and managed by the federal government.
The College of Technology has been in operation since 1947 and thus has a wealth of experience in training students in Science, Technology, and Commerce; this experience and commitment is reflected in the college’s large alumni base.
Yaba College of Technology is Nigeria’s first higher education institution to establish a Centre for Entrepreneurship Development, with connections to business and industry.
Why the JAMB Form Asks More Than O Level at YABATECH Industrial Technical Education
The credit requirement names only Physics or Mathematics, while the JAMB combination demands English Language, Mathematics, Physics and another science. The form is the stricter of the two.
If you hold a City and Guilds Final, a National Technical Certificate, an NCE in Technical Education or an ND at lower credit in engineering, Direct Entry is the shorter path. Otherwise clear 150 in JAMB for the 2026/2027 session.
