One of the most competitive courses that you will come across in the university is Computer Engineering. With this, students might find the entrance to be difficult so they will have to combine subjects properly in JAMB and WAEC. I will provide the JAMB and WAEC Subject Combination for Computer Engineering in this article.
There are several reasons why students are denied admission and one of them is because of the combination of wrong subjects in JAMB and WAEC. This page will tell you what you need to know about Computer Engineering and also bring the universities offering this course.
What You Need to Know About Computer Engineering
Computer Engineering is a course that combines the field of computer science and electrical engineering to create new computer software. like said earlier it is a competitive course and students might find the entrance difficult. Computer Engineering is a science course and it is suitable for this set of students.
You should also note the job opportunities available for one who studied Computer Engineering. They are much and competitive but they are also high paying. Below are some of the available careers for one who studied this course
- Computer Network Architect
- Computer Programmer
- Electrical Engineer
- Industrial Engineer
- Computer Systems Analyst
- Web Developer
JAMB and WAEC Subject Combination for Computer Engineering
The JAMB and WAEC Subject Combination for Computer Engineering is what I will provide below and it will be from science class. In WAEC (West African Examination Council) you need at least five subjects. You can apply subjects in WAEC to any other O’Level exam. The list below contains the Subject Combination for Computer Engineering in WAEC
- English Language
- Mathematics
- Further Mathematics
- Physics
- Chemistry
In JAMB (Joint Admission and Matriculation Board) you need four subjects. This examination is the one responsible for students admission into the university and English Language is compulsory. Below is the Subject Combination for Computer Engineering in JAMB
- English Language
- Mathematics
- Physics
- Chemistry
