JAMB subject combination for Computer Science

Checked against JAMB's brochure on 9 October 2026. Faculty in the brochure: Sciences.

UTME subjects and WAEC (O'level) requirements for Computer Science

You write four subjects in the UTME. Use of English is compulsory for every course.

  1. 1Use of English
  2. 2Mathematics
  3. 3Physics
  4. 4One of Biology, Chemistry, Agricultural Science, Economics or Geography

In plain words: Use of English, Mathematics, Physics and one of Biology, Chemistry, Agricultural Science, Economics or Geography.

Mathematics, Physics and one (1) of Biology, Chemistry, Agric Science, Economics and Geography.
JAMB's brochure, word for word. Use of English is added for every course.

WAEC or NECO (O'level): Five credits: English Language, Mathematics, Physics and two other Science subjects. More on O'level below.

O'level requirements

Five credits: English Language, Mathematics, Physics and two other Science subjects.

Five (5) SSC credit passes to include English Language, Mathematics, Physics plus two (2) other Science subjects.
JAMB's brochure, word for word

Rules for every course at these schools

  • University of Ibadan: All candidates need at least five SSC credit passes at ONE sitting, including English Language and Mathematics, except where otherwise stated.
  • Federal University of Technology, Akure: All programmes need at least a credit pass in English Language and Mathematics.
  • Federal University of Technology, Owerri: Credit passes in English Language, Mathematics and Chemistry are mandatory, in addition to the departments' other credit passes.
  • University of Abuja: Credit passes in English Language and Mathematics are required for all programmes; an ordinary pass in Mathematics may be accepted for Law and all Arts programmes.
  • Delta State University, Abraka: Five O'level credit passes including English Language and Mathematics at not more than two sittings.

Direct Entry

Two 'A' Level passes in science subjects including Mathematics, or NCE merit in Mathematics and one other Science or Social Science subject.

JAMB past questions for Computer Science students

Practise the UTME subjects for Computer Science. Each page has ten questions with answers and explanations; the rest are in the app.

What JAMB score do you need for Computer Science?

The answer depends on the school, and on what its list measures. From the schools' own 2026/2027 lists:

  • UTME score (out of 400): the Computer Science mark we hold runs from 170 at EBSU and FUTO to 220 at UNIJOS.
  • Aggregate worked out by the school: the mark runs from 60.47 at LAUTECH to 82.05 at UNILAG. Each school works out its aggregate in its own way, so compare a school only with itself.

JAMB's lowest mark for any university is 150, and a course can ask for more than the school's general mark. See the Computer Science cut-off mark at each of the 15 universities.
