- Mathematics
- Chemistry and three other Subjects from below:
- Biology/Agricultural Science
- Physics

Mathematics and Chemistry are named at the top, with three more subjects from the group below. The closing clause then adds English Language and Physics as compulsory credits.
That accounts for four of the five places, leaving one to fill from Biology, Geography, Home Economics, History, Economics, Commerce, Government, Clothing and Textile, Fine Art or Technical Drawing.
JAMB UTME Subject Combination
Candidates will write the following Four (4) Subjects in JAMB

- Mathematics and any two of Geography, Physics, Economics, or Chemistry
The JAMB combination is far looser. English Language and Mathematics are compulsory and two papers come from Geography, Physics, Economics and Chemistry.
Both Physics and Chemistry are required credits yet only options on the form, so the result sheet is the stricter test.
Direct Entry Requirement
These are the conditions you need to fulfill to gain Direct Entry admission to study Textile Technology if you don’t intend to use UTME. You require:
- YABATECH requires SSCE/NABTEB/GCE with five credit passes in English Language Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry and the remaining one or two credit(s) from the following: T/Drawing, Clothing, Textile, Biology, or Agricultural Science, Basic Electronics, and Economics.
The Direct Entry line restates the credit requirement and widens the accepted certificates, naming SSCE, NABTEB and GCE results as equally valid.
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.
