Entry Requirements
O’Level Subject Combination
The O’level subject combination and requirements needed to study Mechanical Engineering Technology include Five (5) SSCE credit passes in the following subjects:
- English Language
- Mathematics
- Physics
- Chemistry and any one subject from below:
- Biology/Agricultural Science
- Technical Drawing
- Basic Electronics/Basic Electricity
- Auto Mechanics
- Metal Work
- Woodwork (for Civil Engineering Tech.)
- Further Mathematics
- Geography
- Economics/Commerce
English Language, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry are the compulsory credits. The fifth is chosen from a list that mixes workshop subjects with Further Mathematics, Geography and Economics or Commerce.
Auto Mechanics, Metal Work, Basic Electricity and Technical Drawing all count there, which fits candidates coming from a technical college background.
Biology and Agricultural Science are also accepted, so a science student without workshop subjects is not shut out.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB
- English Language
- Mathematics
- Chemistry
- Physics/Technical Drawing
In JAMB the first three papers are fixed at English Language, Mathematics and Chemistry, and the fourth may be Physics or Technical Drawing.
Physics is still a compulsory credit regardless of that choice, so registering Technical Drawing does not remove it from your result.
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.
