7 Tips to Increase Your Chances of Getting Admission into YABATECH
#1. Choosing Your Desired Course
Before applying, it’s crucial to choose a course that aligns with your interests, strengths, and future career goals. Research various courses by YABATECH and consider which one is best for you based on career prospects and your personal preferences.
Select a course that you are passionate about and will motivate you to excel.
However, there are students who do not care about the course they are offered. If you fall into this category then you should apply for a course that is both less competitive and you meet the requirements.
#2. Meet the Admission Requirements
If you do not meet the admission requirements, YABATECH will never consider you for admission.
Thoroughly review YABATECH’s admission requirements for your chosen course. These requirements will include specific O’level (WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB) subjects and grades.
Make sure you meet or exceed these criteria, as they are a fundamental part of the selection process.
No matter the course you are applying for at Yaba College of Technology, Mathematics and English Language is compulsory. If you do not have these two subjects, you must rewrite your SSCE exam or change to a different school.
YABATECH’s cut-off mark for the 2023/2024 academic session is 150. You must have scored at least 150 in the JAMB UTME exam to qualify to purchase the YABATECH Post-UTME form.
Also, If YABATECH is not your first choice in JAMB, you will not be able to purchase the Post-UTME form. Go to a CBT centre to make Yaba College of Technology your first choice in JAMB if you haven’t.
#3. Check the Departmental Cut off Mark of Previous Years
Checking the department cut-off mark for the course you want to apply for from previous years gives you an insight into how competitive the course is. It also prepares your mind on what you need to score to gain admission.
The courses with low cut-off marks are less competitive. There are some good courses at YABATECH with few people applying for them, if you discover these courses and you do not mind applying for them, you have a better chance of getting admission. Remember that you need to meet the O’level and JAMB requirements.
At the end of this guide, you will see how to get the YABATECH department cut-off mark from 2017 to 2022.
#4. Calculate your Score
Before I continue with this, let me tell you a story of one of our clients in 2021. Let’s call him Greg (not his real name).
So Greg scored 160 in JAMB and he wanted to study Mass Communication at YABATECH. He had bought the YABATECH Past question through our link so we added him to our premium group where we offer priority support to candidates.
During one of our meetings in the group, we told each candidate to calculate their aggregate score using a formula and then share their result in the group with the course they were applying for.
When Greg shared his score, it was quite low because he had many C’s in his Olevel result. Even if he scored 30/30 in the Post-UTME exam, his aggregate would be too low for Mass Communication. So, we checked his documents and found out he could also apply for marketing, and then we told him to change his course to Marketing.
Greg really wanted to study Mass Communication so he did not listen. He did not change his course.
Guess what?
When the cut-off mark was released after the Post-UTME exam, he was just 2 marks away from the cut-off mark for Marketing. Candidates who were 5 marks away from the cut-off mark and applied for Marketing that year got admission.
Unfortunately for Greg, it was too late. He had to reapply the following year.
A combination of a candidate’s JAMB score, O’level grades and Post-UTME score brings about the aggregate score. The higher your aggregate score, the better your chances of getting admission.
However, after calculating and checking how many marks you need to beat the previous year’s cut-off mark; if you need more than 30 marks, we suggest you change to a different course. One that is less competitive.
We will show you how to calculate your aggregate in our next email to you. Check your email regularly so you do not miss out.
#5. Get the Original YABATECH Past Question
The best way to prepare for the YABATECH Post UTME exam is to study past questions and attempt to answer them.
Every school in Nigeria that conducts post-UTME exams has a syllabus that they use in setting questions. The YABATECH Post-UTME past question will expose you to the school’s syllabus. You will get to know the topics the school sets questions from.
Also, some questions will be repeated. Imagine seeing five questions that you answered in the past question on your exam question. That’s a bonus of five marks for you. I kid you not, in the post-UTME exam, every mark matters.
One mark can determine if you will be admitted or not.
The only place you can get the original YABATECH Post-UTME past question is at ExamPrep and it costs ₦3,500 only.
We have checked other platforms offering YABATECH past questions online and we found out that they do not have the original past question.

#6. Practice the Past Question (More than Once)
When you have gotten the YABATECH Post-UTME past question, it is best to practice it more than once.
YABATECH Post-UTME exam lasts for 30 minutes with 40 questions. While you are practising the past question on ExamPrep, there is a timer that shows you how much time you have left.
keep practising till you can answer all the questions in 28 minutes or less.
#7. Read your Text Books
While studying the past question, you may come across topics that you do not understand. Instead of skipping questions on those topics repeatedly, it is better to take time and study them because the school can add some new questions from those topics.
When you understand a topic so well, you can answer any question from that topic irrespective of how hard it is.
The best part is that the Post-UTME exam will consist of 3 subjects; Mathematics, English Language and Current affairs.
Mathematics and English Language consist of 15 questions each while current affairs consist of 10 questions.
So, your focus would be majorly on Mathematics and English Language.
