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.

  1. Please what school accept biology as part of jamb subjects combination for computer science
    I’m really ????????
    Most are making chemistry compulsory
    I don’t want to waste my mark
    I scored 300

    1. It should, but most universities are yet to adopt the new subject change.

      Endeavour to use JAMB Eligibility checker to confirm if your school of choice accepts the combination you have in mind.

  2. Can computer science substitute chemistry in WAEC as a requirement to study computer science in convenient university?
