Are you interested in studying Industrial and Production Engineering at a university in Nigeria?
In this blog post, we will provide you with the necessary requirements to apply for this course and a list of universities in Nigeria where you can pursue your studies in Industrial and Production Engineering.
Industrial and Production Engineering falls under the faculty of Engineering, Environment, and Technology and is exclusively available to science students.
Unfortunately, students from commercial or arts backgrounds are not eligible to study this course in any Nigerian institution.
To apply for Industrial and Production Engineering as a UTME (Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination) candidate, you must meet the required subject combination. There are five compulsory subjects in which you need to have credit passes.
The WAEC (West African Examinations Council) subject combination, which is also applicable to NECO (National Examinations Council), WAEC GCE (General Certificate of Education)
Includes the following:
- Mathematics
- Physics
- Use of English Language
- Chemistry
- Any other Science subject
Additionally, there are three compulsory JAMB (Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board) subjects required to study Industrial and Production Engineering. Please note that the JAMB cutoff mark for this course is 180, but we recommend aiming for a score of 200 and above to increase your chances of admission.
The three compulsory JAMB subjects for this course are:
- Physics
- Mathematics
- Chemistry
If you prefer to apply through Direct Entry, you should fulfill the following requirements:
- ‘A’ level passes in Physics and Mathematics.
Now that you are familiar with the requirements, let’s take a look at the universities in Nigeria that offer Industrial and Production Engineering:
- Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Edo State (AAU)
- Elizade University, Ilara-Mokin, Ondo State
- Federal University of Technology, Akure, Ondo State (FUTA)
These universities provide the opportunity to pursue a degree in Industrial and Production Engineering.
Conclusion
if you aspire to study Industrial and Production Engineering in Nigeria, make sure to meet the subject combination requirements for both WAEC and JAMB.
Additionally, consider aiming for a JAMB score of 200 and above to increase your chances of admission.
If you prefer Direct Entry, obtain ‘A’ level passes in Physics and Mathematics. Finally, choose from the universities listed above to apply for this course and embark on your engineering journey. Good luck!
