Eligibility Requirements
To apply for YABATECH Post-UTME / Direct Entry in 2025/2026, you must:
- Have selected YABATECH as your first choice institution in the UTME registration. If YABATECH was not your first choice, you will need to change it through the proper JAMB process.
- Meet the required UTME score: at least 150 for ND programs, and 160 for B.Sc (Education) programmes.
- Have a minimum of five (5) credit passes in relevant O’Level subjects, including English Language and Mathematics. Results from up to two sittings are accepted.
- Be at least 16 years old by a specified date (often by October of the year of entry).
Registration / Screening Process
Here are the general steps you will follow:
- Get the Post-UTME / Direct Entry form when the application is open.
- Fill in all your personal and academic details accurately, including UTME number, O’Level results, and course you hope to study.
- Upload required documents: passport photo, birth certificate or age proof, O’Level results, possibly JAMB result slip.
- Pay the non-refundable screening/application fee (amount specified by the college).
- Submit your completed application before the deadline.
- After submission, watch for announcements about screening dates or interviews, if required.
Important Notes
- Hitting the cut-off mark does not guarantee admission—screening, competition for places, and departmental quotas are also important.
- Make sure documents are valid and correctly scanned to avoid disqualification.
- If you are awaiting O’Level results, you can often apply, but you’ll need to upload the result once available.
- Keep an eye out for deadlines on form submission, result upload, and change of institution (if needed).
