Education & Computer Science as an undergraduate program bridges two dynamic fields: Education and ICT, training individuals to become teachers, curriculum developers, and digital education specialists. With institutions stepping into the age of eLearning and smart classrooms, this course is becoming more relevant than ever. But it all starts with you meeting the JAMB cut off mark and other basic requirements.
General JAMB Cut Off Mark for Education & Computer Science 2026
The minimum cut off mark for Education & Computer Science as approved by JAMB for all universities in Nigeria is 150, and 100 for colleges of education and polytechnics. Still with that, most institutions set their own departmental cut off scores that are higher than the general benchmark; you should turn towards tackling that instead of the JAMB benchmark.

No. Polytechnics usually offer Computer Science or Computer Engineering, not Education & Computer Science.
What’s the difference between Computer Science and Education & Computer Science?
The latter includes teaching methodologies alongside core computer science content.
How long does the program last?
Typically, it is a four year program under full time study.
Can I switch to Computer Science from this course later?
Yes, but you may need to meet additional departmental requirements and possibly take extra courses.
Does LASU accept 170 for this course?
Yes, 170 is the general cut off mark for LASU’s Education & Computer Science program.
Can I combine WAEC and NECO results?
Yes, most institutions accept combined results as long as they meet the required subject credits.
Will I be trained in coding or software development in this course?
Yes, to some extent. However, the focus is on equipping you to teach computing and apply digital tools in education settings.
