JAMB Subject Combination For Computer Science

JAMB Subject Combination For Computer Science and Informatics

Posted on July 3, 2025 By CampusTimesNG 4 Comments on JAMB Subject Combination For Computer Science and Informatics

Ensure you check the JAMB Subject Combination for Computer Science and Informatics before you select a wrong JAMB subject combination for computer science.

After a good score in JAMB UTME in Nigeria, if you gain admission to study Computer Science and Informatics at the university, you will study Computer Science and Informatics for four years. After meeting the admission requirement to gain admission through direct entry, you will be studying this course for three years.

You must be a science student with a good science background for you to study Computer Science and Informatics in Nigeria Universities, and most importantly, after meeting admission requirements.

In case you will be presenting a NECO result as a requirement to study Computer Science and Informatics, check our detailed NECO Computer Science Past Questions and Answers.

What Faculty Will I Find Computer Science Department?

Based on JAMB description, a body responsible for admission into the University or other institutions, Computer Science and Informatics should be under the Faculty/School/College of Science, but maybe under a different faculty in some Nigerian universities. For example, in Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Computer Science is in the faculty of Technology.

Can I Study Computer Science Without Background In Science?

Perhaps you are a Commercial or an Art student, you will probably find it difficult to study Computer Science and Informatics at the university since it is a pure science course which requires a good background in the science subjects.

However, anything is possible when you have a strong passion for the course. If you work hard enough to meet the required subjects combination in your O level result you can go for this course. Then, as a secondary school student, you may find it difficult to change into subjects fitting for computer science during WAEC registration because some schools may kick against it.

Also, during WAEC or NECO registration be solid sure you know your registered subjects because some secondary schools can ignorantly select wrong O level subject requirements for university courses. Alternatively, you may choose to register the needed subject combinations for Computer Science and Informatics through GCE.

JAMB UTME Cut-Off Marks For Computer Science and Informatics?

It is very important for you to know how to prepare and pass JAMB UTME. The cut-off mark for Computer Science and Informatics is 180. However, you can check the top 10 Best Technology universities in Nigeria and their JAMB UTME cut off marks on Campustimesng.

I want you to know assuredly that Computer Science and Informatics is a good course and it has the highest job demand in today’s digital world. You can also check the top best science courses without PHYSICS, but this should not influence you. Follow your passion and you shall be the best!

WAEC Subject Combination For Computer Science and Informatics

You should have a minimum of 5 credits on the required WAEC subject combination to study Computer Science and Informatics in Nigeria universities. The same subject combination is also applicable to NECO and GCE O’level exams. The required WAEC subject combination as O level requirement for the study of Computer Science and Informatics must include:

  1. English Language
  2. Mathematics
  3. Physics
  4. Plus two other science subjects
  5. A trade subject

These are the compulsory list of subjects for anyone seating for WAEC and other O level examinations. Apart from the 5 subjects above, I will advise you to include a Language subject in your O level subject combination.

For the record, if you are seeking admission into any university, college or polytechnic in South-Western Nigeria, Yoruba Language is compulsory for Computer Science and Informatics. So now that I have properly guided you through the compulsory O level subject requirement for studying Computer Science and Informatics, let’s take a glance through the JAMB UTME and Direct Entry requirements below.

JAMB Subject Combination For Computer Science

JAMB Subject Combination for Computer Science and Informatics

Now I’m going to show you the JAMB Subject Combination For Computer Science and Informatics that you are required to register:

As you already know, English and Mathematics are the first set of compulsory subjects you must choose for subjects in the Science field. To beat the competitiveness in gaining admission for this course, you are advised to aim for a score of 200 and above in JAMB UTME instead of 180.

If you followed this JAMB Subject Combination For Computer Science and score below 180, you can consider 23 universities that accept 120 in JAMB, including Universities that take 180 in JAMB, besides, there are Colleges of Education or Polytechnic for alternative admission.

Maybe you’re having trouble with passing JAMB UTME, instead of trying for many years, it’s time you pass through IJMB, JUPEB, ND, HND or Predegree. JAMB UTME subject combination to study Computer Science and Informatics must include:

  1. Mathematics
  2. Physics
  3. Select either one of Biology, Chemistry, Agric Science, Economics and Geography

Perhaps you are seeking admission into the University through Direct Entry, couple with the required WAEC subjects combination for Computer Science and Informatics above, you are required to have:

  • Two A/L passes in the science subjects including Mathematics
  • NCE with at least Merit in Mathematics along with one other Science or Social Science subject.

You might have already possessed your O level result and the subjects you sat for are not the same with the admission requirement for O level subject combinations to study Computer Science and Informatics, I want you to know it is not the brick wall, so don’t give up. You should consider related courses to Computer Science and Informatics or take a look at Polytechnics that accept second choice in JAMB or Yaba College of Technology.

Less I forget to chip this in. A cheap way to study is to consider an online study with a foreign university from the convenience of your bedroom or a full-time job. Besides, you can apply for a scholarship to study abroad.

Universities Offering Computer Science and Informatics include:

  • Federal University of Technology, Minna, Niger State- FUTminna
  • American University of Nigeria, Yola, Adamawa State – AUN
  • Bells University of Technology, Ota, Ogun State – BELLS
  • Crawford University, Igbesa, Ogun State – CRAWFORD
  • Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State – OAU
  • Renaissance University, Ojiagu-Agbani, Enugu, Enugu State – RENAISSANCE

Now I am confident that you know the JAMB subject combination for Computer Science and Informatics. Be informed that in WAEC, some Universities may accept D7 or E8 for some compulsory subjects instead of Credit, while some may accept or reject two sittings.
