The Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH) has opened its admission portal for the 2025 academic session, providing a streamlined process for prospective students to secure their placements. Founded in 1947, this premier institution in Yaba, Lagos, continues to be a top choice for students pursuing certificates, diplomas, and postgraduate diplomas.
Navigating the YABATECH Admission Portal
The official gateway for all admission-related activities is the YABATECH admission portal, accessible at portal.yabatech.edu.ng/portalplus/. This platform is designed to simplify everything from initial application to final registration. First-time users must create an account using a valid email address and a secure password to begin their journey.
YABATECH offers a wide array of competitive courses across its 34 departments. Before applying, candidates are strongly advised to confirm the specific entry requirements for their desired program on the portal and prepare all necessary academic documents, such as transcripts and certificates.
How to Check Your YABATECH Admission Status
Once the institution releases its merit and supplementary admission lists, candidates must verify their status. The process is straightforward. Visit the main college website at yabatech.edu.ng and locate the admission checker. You will need to log in using the username and password created during your initial application.
After logging in, click on the 'Check Application Status' option found under the 'Stay Updated' section. You will be redirected to a page where you must enter your Registration or Application Number. Finally, click the 'Check Admission Status' button to view your result.
Securing Your Admission: The Acceptance Fee and JAMB CAPS
Successful candidates are required to pay a non-refundable acceptance fee of ₦25,000. This payment is crucial for confirming your spot and must be completed promptly after receiving an admission offer. To pay, go to the official YABATECH website, navigate to the 'Payment' section, and select 'Acceptance Fee' from the drop-down menu. Enter your user ID and surname to generate the fee receipt and complete the transaction.
It is also mandatory for all candidates to accept their admission offer on the JAMB Central Admission Processing System (CAPS). Log in to the JAMB e-facility portal at https://efacility.jamb.gov.ng using your credentials. Navigate to the 'Check Admission Status' tab under admissions, select your examination year, and enter your registration number. You must accept the offer on CAPS before proceeding with the school's registration.
For those who participated in the post-UTME screening, the YABATECH post-UTME portal remains essential for checking screening results and uploading required documents. By following these steps diligently, prospective students can ensure a smooth transition into one of Nigeria's oldest and most respected higher educational institutions.
