What is Computer Science? Why do candidates go for Computer Science? is it the passion for the course? What is the reason for the increase in the search for polytechnics that offer Computer Science? The above questions are still lingering in the minds of many till date.
Truth be told, some students choose courses based on the JAMB approved subject combination requirements and information gotten from people as regards the polytechnics that offer the course. Computer Science is not selected in a bid to evade any subject that involves science. many students look for courses like Computer Science, and some Science related courses that may or may not require mathematics.
In this post, you will see the list of polytechnics that offer Computer Science, the subject combinations, cut off mark as well as the entry requirements for the course.
Computer Science is a course offered in most tertiary institutions in Nigeria, It is a course under the faculty of Computer Science managed by the Department of Computer Science. The importance attached to this post is immeasurable as students during their UTME registration, search for the list of polytechnics offering Computer Science so as to make an informed decision on making a sensible choice based on their catchment area.
Aside checking for polytechnics offering Computer Science as a course, you need to be sure of the correct O’Level and JAMB subject combination for studying Computer Science because in the past, candidates who have ignored this move were either forced to change their school or lost out on the admission for that academic session. So we candidly advice you take the following information in this post Seriously.
To study Computer Science in any of the under listed polytechnics, candidates must meet the following basic entry requirements:
a) Must have obtained a minimum of five (5) ‘O’ level credits in the following subjects; Maths, Biology, Physics, Chemistry and three or four other subjects in not more than 2 sittings.
b) Pass the cut off mark for the polytechnic of his or her choice. We advice you score a minimum of 200 and above as this gives you a greater chance of gaining admission to study Computer Science into your preferred choice of institution.
The above are the basic requirements from the list of polytechnics Offering Computer Science. Though other requirements will be communicated to you by the polytechnics when you register for their post UTME admission forms.

Most often, it is easier to study the choice of your course when you select a school that is within your Catchment area.
For example, candidates who is from Delta state and selects Computer Science in Ozoro Poly stands a greater chance of gaining admission to study the course than a candidate who hails from Lagos state or Sokoto state. Many students make the mistake of just selecting randomly without applying the Catchment area principle though this does not apply to Private polytechnics.
In summary, if you must select a state or Federal poly, choose your state or school that falls within your catchment area for you to stand a huge chance of studying Computer Science or any course of your choice.
