About Yaba College of Technology
Yaba College of Technology, popularly known as YABATECH, is Nigeria’s first higher institution and one of its most respected polytechnics. Located in Yaba, Lagos State, the College runs eight schools spanning Art, Design and Printing, Engineering, Environmental Studies, Liberal Studies, Management and Business Studies, Science, Technical Education, and Technology.
Beyond its standard ND and HND programmes, YABATECH also runs degree-level B.Sc. (Ed.) Technical Education programmes in affiliation with the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), giving Post UTME candidates a path into a full bachelor’s degree without leaving the polytechnic system.
Who Can Apply for YABATECH Post UTME 2026/2027
To be eligible for the YABATECH Post UTME screening exercise, candidates must meet all of the following requirements.
YABATECH must be your first-choice institution on JAMB. Candidates who selected the College as their second or third choice must change their institution to YABATECH on the JAMB CAPS portal before completing the Post UTME form. Only first-choice candidates will be considered for admission.
Candidates applying for ND Full-Time programmes and the B.Sc. (Ed.) Technical Education degree at 100 Level must have scored at least 160 in the 2026 UTME. Direct Entry applicants seeking admission into the 200 Level of the B.Sc. (Ed.) Technical Education programmes also apply through the same YABATECH portal, though Direct Entry eligibility is assessed separately from the UTME-based ND route.
Applicants must have at least five O’Level credit passes, including English Language and Mathematics, obtained in not more than two sittings, and these results must already be uploaded to the JAMB CAPS portal. Candidates must also be at least 16 years old on or before September 30, 2026; anyone who will not have turned 16 by that date should not apply for this screening cycle.
How to Apply for YABATECH Post UTME 2026/2027
Follow these steps exactly as they appear on the official portal.
Step 1: Visit the Official Portal
Go to postutme.yabatech.edu.ng, or reach it through the “Apply to YABATECH” link on the main YABATECH website at www.yabatech.edu.ng. Avoid any third-party link claiming to be an official YABATECH application page.
Step 2: Start a New Application
On the portal, select “New Application” if this is your first time applying for this cycle. You will be required to enter your National Identification Number (NIN), so have it ready before you start. Note that once you enter your number of O’Level examination sittings, it cannot be corrected, so confirm this detail carefully before submitting.
Step 3: Complete Your Personal and Academic Details
Fill in your personal information, JAMB registration number, and O’Level details, including exam number, exam year, and exam month. Any mismatch between the names on your O’Level result, UTME slip, and the application form can lead to disqualification, so use the exact same spelling everywhere.
Step 4: Pay the Processing Fee
Pay the non-refundable processing fee of ₦2,000. This amount excludes O’Level result verification charges and any bank or online transaction fees, so expect the total to come out slightly above ₦2,000 depending on your payment channel. YABATECH does not accept cash payments — pay only through the official online channel.
Step 5: Submit and Save Your Slip
Review every entry before final submission, since applicants are solely responsible for errors made during registration. After submitting, print or save your application slip — you will need it to log back in, check your screening schedule, and present at the screening venue if a physical component is required.
⚠️ Do not patronize touts or unofficial agents promising faster processing. YABATECH has repeatedly warned that some candidates are being defrauded by individuals posing as portal activation or admission agents. All payments go strictly through the official YABATECH payment portal.
Closing Date: As of this writing, YABATECH has not announced when the 2026/2027 Post UTME application window closes. Based on the College’s pattern in previous sessions, the form typically stays open for four to six weeks from the date of release. Do not wait for a deadline announcement before applying — complete your form as early as possible.
YABATECH Post UTME Screening Format
YABATECH’s Post UTME screening for recent sessions has been conducted as an online, remotely monitored Computer-Based Test rather than a purely physical exercise. Candidates need a computer with a working webcam and microphone, since the test is recorded for monitoring. As of now, YABATECH has not yet released the exact screening date for the 2026/2027 cycle — candidates should continue checking the official portal and their registered email for the schedule once it is published.
YABATECH JAMB Cut-Off Mark 2026/2027
The general cut-off mark for YABATECH’s 2026/2027 admission exercise is 160 for both ND Full-Time programmes and the B.Sc. (Ed.) Technical Education degree at 100 Level. Scoring 160 only qualifies a candidate to purchase and submit the Post UTME form — it does not guarantee admission. Each department sets its own effective cut-off based on the competitiveness of applications it receives in a given session, and YABATECH has not yet released departmental cut-off marks for this cycle.
For a full picture of how YABATECH’s cut-off compares with other institutions, see the JAMB Cut-Off Marks 2026 guide for all schools and courses.
