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.

  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

    • 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.
