WAEC & JAMB Subject Combination For Computer Science [UPDATED]

WAEC and JAMB Subject Combination For Computer Science: What are the JAMB Subject combination to study Computer Science in Nigeria?, Must I pass Maths in WAEC to study Computer Science?

Hey SAVANTS! Welcome to “JAMB doctor Series” in this episode, I will provide you with WAEC and JAMB Subject combination for Computer Science, Direct entry requirement to study Computer Science through JAMB, JUPEB and IJMB, pretty cool right? STAY TUNED!

For everyone who plans to study Computer Science in Nigeria, it is important and necessary you know the subjects that are required to becoming a Computer Scientist in Nigeria.

I have seen cases, where students who wish to study a particular course go ahead to register the wrong subject combination in JAMB and in their O’level (WAEC, NECO or NABTEB) simply because they were not well informed and would later start searching for means with which correct the mistake.

Luckily for you, with the aid of this guide you will be fully endowed with the required WAEC and JAMB Subject combination to study Computer Science in any University in Nigeria, mind you, this subject combination is the same for all Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges of Education in Nigeria.

So, irrespective of the school you want to study in (UNIBEN, UI, UNILAG, DELSU e.t.c) these are the subjects you must enroll and pass to be eligible for admission to study computer science.

If you must study Computer Science in Nigeria you must first get a minimum of five (5) credits in your O’ level (WAEC, NECO or NABTEB) core courses and enroll four (4) subjects in JAMB which you should score at least 220.

P.S; See JAMB Cut off mark for all Schools

What Are The Subjects Required To Study Computer Science

The subjects Required to study Computer Science in Nigeria are…

• Mathematics
• English Language
• Physics
• Chemistry*
• Biology*

Some of these subjects may not be required in some cases (JAMB or O’level), I will highlight each of this subject and in what instances they may be applicable or needed.

Biology and Chemistry: Biology and Chemistry subjects are core for your O’ level exams like WAEC, NECO, NABTEB or GCE. but for JAMB you may decide to or to not enroll Biology or chemistry, that is, neither Biology or chemistry is required in JAMB to study Computer Science it is only needed in your O’ level.
