Computer Science O’level and UTME subjects combination is the same for all schools irrespective of the higher institution. For example, all universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education offering (Computer Science) are mandated to make use of the same subject combination as a requirement for the above course.
Making use of the correct and approved O’Level subject requirements plus UTME subjects combination for Computer Science makes the admission process much easier for candidates seeking admission to study Computer Science in their various institutions.
Not many are aware that one of the major reasons for the increase in purchase of change of university and institution is because before embarking on the UTME, most candidates fail to confirm the correct O’Level subjects required to study Computer Science and thus making them go through the process of change of course or institution and sometimes, both.
In this post today, I will be giving you full details as regards the WAEC and NECO otherwise known as O’Level subjects combination and requirements for studying Computer Science in our universities and polytechnics.
Computer Science is a course for science inclined students in secondary schools and it is one of the most sought-after courses students upon graduating from secondary school’s search for online. We will not just concentrate on the O’level subjects required to study Computer Science or the list of universities in Nigeria offering Computer Science but also, the best schools to study this course but this is not to say other schools offering Computer Science are of lesser quality.
Upon completing this post, you ought to be clear about the followings:
- O’Level subjects for studying Computer Science in any Nigerian University or polytechnic
- Admission Requirements for studying Computer Science.
- Whether you can combine WAEC and NECO results to Study Computer Science(Yes you can though this also depends on the institution)
- Cut off Mark for Computer Science in any University or Polytechnic
- List of Universities in Nigeria that offers Computer Science
O’LEVEL AND UTME APPROVED SUBJECTS COMBINATION FOR COMPUTER SCIENCE
Also, in the quest to study Computer Science, most candidates look out for the best institution for studying Computer Science as a course. Say for example; AAU, ABSU, AAUA and other universities listed below are not just known for studying Computer Science but can be regarded as the best schools for this course.
O’LEVEL SUBJECTS COMBINATION AND REQUIREMENTS FOR STUDYING COMPUTER SCIENCE
Studying Computer Science as the case may present itself requires that you possess the following:
- To study Computer Science in any university or polytechnic in Nigeria, you must have obtained a minimum Five (5) SSC credit passes to include English Language, Mathematics and at least three (3) of Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Additional/Further Mathematics.
Now let’s go through the O’level (NECO/WAEC) and UTME approved subjects’ combination for studying Computer Science before discussing about the cut off mark.
UTME SUBJECT COMBINATION FOR COMPUTER SCIENCE:
- Maths, Physics and Chemistry or Biology
CUT OFF MARK FOR COMPUTER SCIENCE
It is advised that prospective students score up to 180 minimum JAMB cut off mark and above to stand a chance of studying Computer Science due to the competitive nature of the course. Though cut off mark may vary from school to school. Ideally, the 180 JAMB score is enough to see you through so long as you pass your post UTME.
