In this year's JAMB brochure for Computer Science you need five 'O' level passes to include English language,Mathematics,Physics,plus two other science subjects. UME requirements(if you're writing jamb exam) are Mathematics,Physics,and one of Biology,Chemistry,Agricultural science,Economics and Geography. Hope this is helpful.Goodluck.

Go for what interest you, because you must have figured computer sc. out as a good option for you. Stick with plan A for as much as you can, explore all avenues, northern unis don't ask too much questions. And some of your friends may have connections that is also very important. tara.

Here is my professional advice to you. I am a Software Engineer myself and I can tell you that what I use out here in the field is not my GPA or how much I know of this and that but my comprehension of logic and ability to express it in code in the most effective way. Do not rush college. If no college takes you with your scores, do not feel it is the of the world cause it might actually turn out to be the best for you if you use your time well. If you can, get yourself a personal computer and get books so you can learn computer science logic. If you are looking to be a programmer, I will suggest you start by picking one of the freely used languages out there and pick books written by actual developers and start reading and learning as much as you can. Suggested books INtroduction to C++, Introduction to Java Introduction to C#, Introduction to Visual Basic Then follow these by trying your hands on Data Structures in whichever language you choose, while you are working on this portion, work on improving your grades as well for the next year. If you are able to do all this and learn the very basics as well as practise, you may realize that computer science is not just about school and even be able to get a job directly with the much you learn. Many of the programmers I work with never had formal tertiary level education in the field. They are mostly self taught and many went ahead and got a certification after teaching themselves and are working and earning just as much as their college educated counterparts are.
