Note: These requirements are subject to change. We will update the table when the school updates any info.
As I stated in the OND requirement post, you can combine Waec and Neco, Waec and Gce, Neco and Gce but you cannot combine Nabteb and Waec or Nabteb and Neco, it is not accepted in Yabatech. Do not use fake results because no matter how you do it, the school has a way of finding out.
Anybody that uses a fake result would be given admission subject to when the school verifies all your documents. Once the school verifies the documents, candidates who used fake would be expelled, this would be done after school fees have already been paid. For you not to waste your money, please do not use fake results.
