JAMB REQUIREMENTS TO STUDY BUILDING TECHNOLOGY IN NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES, YOUR USEFUL GUIDE IN 2023/2024

This article will accurately guide you through the requirements to study Building Technology in any Nigerian university of your choice. You will know what it takes to successfully gain admission into the engineering faculty of any Nigerian university to study Building Technology. You will also see a list of Nigerian universities where you can study Building Technology and other related courses.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is a statutory body in Nigeria saddled with the responsibility to conduct matriculation examination and admit students into Nigerian tertiary institutions. The requirements to study Building Technology in Nigerian universities stated in this post are as spelt out on pages 345 to 350 of the current JAMB Integrated Brochure and Syllabus System (IBASS). This article aims to make the information more handy and accessible to all parents and guardians as well as students who wish to study Building Technology in any university in Nigeria.
