This screening exercise is strictly for 2026 UTME candidates seeking admission into the full-time National Diploma (ND) programmes, as well as the B.Sc. (Ed.) Technical Education degree programmes run in affiliation with the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN).
To ensure you don’t miss out or make costly mistakes that could ruin your admission chances, this detailed guide breaks down everything you need to know about the eligibility rules, the application process, and critical warnings.
1. Eligibility: Who Can Apply for YABATECH Post-UTME?
