List of Polytechnics Offering Computer Engineering in Nigeria, Jamb UTME and O'level Requirements

 
In today's digital world, Computer Engineering sits at the heart of innovation. From the smartphones we use to the systems that power banks, hospitals, schools, and even cars — computer engineers make it all work behind the scenes. If you've ever been curious about how devices are built, how software and hardware work together, or how to design the next big tech solution, then Computer Engineering might be your perfect fit. Unlike Computer Science, which focuses mainly on software, Computer Engineering combines both hardware and software—meaning you'll learn how to design, build, and troubleshoot actual computer systems and electronic devices. And studying it in a polytechnic means you’ll gain hands-on, practical experience that prepares you directly for the tech industry. Whether you're a secondary school graduate, a JAMB candidate, or someone looking to understand the path into this exciting field, you're in the right place. In this blog, you'll discover: A list of Polytechnics in Nigeria that offer Computer Engineering or Computer Engineering Technology. The official JAMB subject combination required to apply for the course. The full O’Level (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB) requirements you need for admission.

##What is Computer Engineering Course?
