YABATECH Issues Strict Deadlines as 2025/2026 ND Admission Processing Begins

The Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH) has issued a crucial update for all National Diploma (ND) full-time applicants ahead of the 2025/2026 admission cycle. The Office of the Registrar released a detailed breakdown of compulsory steps that every applicant must complete if they want to secure admission without delays.

The announcement comes with strict deadlines, meaning candidates who take early action have a significantly better chance of appearing on the admission list.

Four Mandatory Steps Every YABATECH ND Applicant Must Follow

The Registrar categorized the admission requirements into four essential actions:

1. Upload O’Level results on JAMB CAPS.
2. Apply for a change of course (if needed).
3. Accept admission and print all required letters.
4. Ensure name consistency across all documents.

Here’s what each step requires:

1. Uploading O’Level Results on JAMB CAPS — Deadline: November 23, 2025

Every applicant must upload their O’Level results at an accredited JAMB CBT centre and then log in to their JAMB CAPS profile to verify that the upload reflects correctly.

• Final deadline: 11:59 p.m., Sunday, November 23, 2025
• Admission begins: Monday, November 24, 2025

The Registrar warned that failure to upload and confirm results before the deadline may automatically disqualify candidates, even if their UTME score meets the cut-off.

2. Change of Course Window — December 8 to 10, 2025

Applicants who wish to switch to another ND programme must strictly follow the official timeline.

Important requirements:

• Apply for the change on both the YABATECH portal and the JAMB portal.
• Ensure the correct O’Level subject combination for the new course.
• Ensure the correct UTME subject combination as well.
• No extension will be granted after December 10, 2025.

The management emphasized that late applications will not be processed under any circumstance.

3. Accepting Admission & Printing Letters on JAMB CAPS

Once a candidate receives an admission offer on JAMB CAPS, immediate action is required.

Applicants must:

• Accept the admission instantly.
• Print the JAMB Admission Letter.
• Print the Institution Admission Letter — both the institution copy and candidate copy.

These documents will be essential for YABATECH’s online screening and later physical clearance.

4. Ensuring Name Consistency on All Documents

To prevent delays during screening, all applicants must confirm that their names appear exactly the same across all documents, including:

• JAMB profile
• O’Level result
• Birth certificate or affidavit
• Any additional admission documents

Misspellings, swapped names, or missing middle names may result in forfeiture of admission, according to the Registrar.

Bottom Line

YABATECH is tightening its admission process to ensure transparency and timely screening for all ND full-time candidates. With the college setting firm deadlines, applicants are strongly urged to complete all steps early to secure their place on the 2025/2026 admission list.
