WAEC & JAMB Subject to Study Computer and Communication Engineering

To Study Computer and Communication Engineering, the first thing you must consider is if you are a science or art student. Computer and Communication Engineering is not suitable for commercial or art students as it is a course purely for science students.

In this article, we will be presenting to you the WAEC & JAMB Subject combination for Studying Computer and Communication Engineering. You will also find the list of Universities in Nigeria where you can study this course as well as the Direct Entry and other requirements for studying this course. Don’t miss out on the special consideration and waivers from various Universities in Nigeria that we have also made available on this page.

WAEC Subject Combination for Computer and Communication Engineering

There are five (5) compulsory SSCE subjects that are required to study Computer and Communication Engineering. You must ensure you have credit passes in all five (5) subjects either in your NECO, GCE, or WAEC (SSCE). Below are the five (5) O’Level subject combinations for studying Computer and Communication Engineering:

1. Physics.
2. Chemistry.
3. Mathematics.
4. Further Mathematics.
5. Use of English Language.

WAIVER / SPECIAL CONSIDERATION

a). UNILAG – Same as in Chemical Engineering.

b). FED-OYEEKITI requires 5 O’level credit passes in Mathematics, Use of English Language, Chemistry, Physics, and one Science or social science subject.

c). OOU and ABUAD accept any Science Subject instead of Further Mathematics.

d). NTNU accepts Use of English Language, Physics/Chemistry, Mathematics, and any other two (2) Science subjects.

e). BELLS and FUTMINNA require 5 O’level credit passes in Use of English Language, Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics or any other Science subject.

f). ESUTECH requires ‘O’ level credit passes in Use of English Language and all other relevant subjects.

g). RSUST and MOUA – Same as in Civil Engineering.

JAMB UTME subjects for Computer and Communication Engineering

If you want to apply to any University via UTME, then you must ensure you meet up with the JAMB cut-off mark for this course which is 180. But, it’s advisable that you aim for 200 and above to stand in a better position. There are three (3) JAMB subject combinations for Computer and Communication Engineering and they include:

1). Physics.

2). Chemistry.

3). Mathematics.

WAIVER / SPECIAL CONSIDERATION

1). NTNU accepts any 3 Science subjects.

2). OOU requires any 3 subjects Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology/Agricultural Science, and Physics.

Direct Entry Requirements

For those who are applying for admission through Direct Entry to study Computer and Communication Engineering you must ensure you can satisfy the requirements listed below:

Ensure you have in your posses 3 ‘A’ level passes in Chemistry, Physics, and Pure Mathematics or Pure and Applied Mathematics.
