WAEC subject combination (requirements) for Polymer Technology

You’re expected to have at least 5 credits on the required WAEC subject combination needed to study Polymer Technology in Nigeria polytechnics. This subject combination is also applicable to other O’level exams such as NECO AND GCE. The required WAEC subject combination (O level requirement) for Polymer Technology must include:
Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry and two other subjects from the following: Economics, Technical Drawing/Art, Further Mathematics, Biology/Agricultural Science, Metal Work, Woodwork, At least credit passes in English Language and Biology are compulsory
These listed subjects are compulsory for anyone writing WAEC and other O level examinations. I will advise you to include a Language in your O level subjects. For the record, if you are one of those students seeking admission into any polytechnics in Lagos State, Yoruba Language is compulsory for Polymer Technology. So now that you know the compulsory O level subject requirement to study Polymer Technology, let also look at JAMB UTME and Direct requirements.
 

JAMB UTME subject combination (requirements) for Polymer Technology

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is a body responsible for your admission into the University or other institutions. Now I’m going to show you the compulsory JAMB subjects for Polymer Technology that you must register (English must be included because it is compulsory even though it may not be listed among the JAMB subjects below), and I will honestly advise you to aim for a score of 150 so that you can easily gain admission into any Polytechnics. Read how to answer and pass JAMB once.
Please note– English Language is compulsory. If Mathematics is not listed among the Jamb subject on this post, then Mathematics is not compulsory for this course. JAMB is not the only option to gain admission into Nigerian Universities to study Polymer Technology. If you’re having troubles with JAMB UTME, maybe it’s time you pass through IJBM, JUBEB, ND, HND or Predegree.

 JAMB UTME subject combination to study Polymer Technology must include:
Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics

Can a commercial or art student study Polymer Technology?

No! If you are a Commercial or an Art student, you cannot study study Polymer Technology at the polytechnic because it is a pure science course which need a good background in science subjects. To avoid discouragement, you can go for this course if you wish provided you have the required subjects combination in your O level result. If you’re still in secondary school, you may find it difficult to change subjects to fit your desired course during WAEC registration because some schools may go against it.
