The subjects needed to study Vocational Education in WAEC must contain five (5) credit. This subject combination is also applicable to NECO AND GCE… The O level requirement, that is, the required WAEC subject combination for Vocational Education must include

JAMB UTME subject combination (requirements) for Vocational Education 

Knowing JAMB subjects for Vocational Education is not enough. You should aim for a score of 180 – 200 and above in JAMB UTME to be on a safe side (Just a piece of advice) because anything short of that may deny you of Admission/Post UTME. Of course, if you have a score below 180, you can consider College of Education or Polytechnic… Please note – JAMB is not the only option for admission. If you’re having troubles JAMB UTME maybe it’s time you pass through IJBM, JUBEB, ND, HND or Predegree!..

These are JAMB UTME subject combinations (subjects to write in jamb) to study Vocational Education

1. Mathematics
2. Economics
3. Plus one of Lit. in English, History, Government, Geography/Physics, Chemistry and Physics Mathematics, Biology and Chemistry

 

Direct Entry requirement (required A-level result) to study Vocational Education
Agric. Tech Educ. (i) NCE in Agricultural Science Education (DM) with credit ii) OND with a minimum Upper credit in Agricultural Science iii) HND with Lower Credit in relevant areas of Agricultural Science
Home Economics (i) NCE in Home Economics at Merit level ii) National Diploma in Home Economics at lower credit level

 

If for some reasons you are not satisfied or cannot meet up with this admission requirement that is the subject combination above, perhaps you should consider other Vocational Education  similar courses or take a look at Polytechnic or College of Education related course subject requirements. You can also study online with a foreign university right from your bedroom or apply for a scholarship to study abroad or within. Education is now a choice. And please before you make a decision on which University to choose, please consider

• The Fees
