Electrical Engineering happens to be the most sort after course in Nigeria. Gaining admission into any University to study this course could be sometimes challenging due to the large number of students going after the same course.
Nevertheless, you will stand a better chance when you Know the prerequisites which will enable you effortlessly apply for admission.
In this article we will be revealing the O’Level and JAMB Subject Combination for Electrical Engineering, Direct Entry requirements for Electrical Engineering, the list of Universities in Nigeria offering Electrical Engineering as well as special consideration and waiver/remarks alongside other relevant information.
Firstly, you must ensure you have a science background before you can be able to qualify to study this course in any Nigeria Institution. This simply means that commercial or art students wouldn’t be able to study this course in any institution in Nigeria.
WAEC Subject Combination for Electrical Engineering
All candidates applying for this course in any institution in Nigeria must ensure they have not less than five (5) credit passes in the required subjects.
The subject combination is not only applicable to WAEC, it also includes GCE and NECO. Below are compulsory WAEC subject combinations for Electrical Engineering:
- Physics.
- Chemistry.
- Mathematics.
- Use of English Language.
- Any other science or social science course subject.
WAIVER / SPECIAL CONSIDERATION
1). UNIPORT requires the fifth O’level credit pass to be in any Science subject most preferably Further Maths.
JAMB Subject Combination for Electrical Engineering
Is not all about having a knowledge of the JAMB subject combination for Electrical Engineering. The main thing is to aim for 180 – 200 points and above in the JAMB UTME. Anything below 180 will qualify you to be considered only for Polytechnics or College of Education. The three (3) JAMB Subject Combination for Electrical Engineering includes:
1). Physics.
2). Chemistry.
3). Mathematics.
NOTE: There are other ways of gain admission apart from JAMB, you can still go through with IJBM, JUBEB, Predegree or ND.
