BIG ABIR noted:

"Hello, YABATECH may carry the “polytechnic” label, but once you start, you’ll realize it’s quite different from the typical polytechnic. Their syllabus is on par with universities like LASU, and their certificate is strong. When you’re done, you’ll be the one to apply for HND."

Bansideen added:

"Something similar happened to me, too. I picked LASU but didn’t get admission because of my JAMB combination. Then, I went to Yabatech. I studied statistics. I finished HND 2024, finished service last year, working on my conversion to BSC."

KO LA shared:

"Yabatech is not a polytechnic…it’s a school of technology awarding ND and HND degrees."

Toluwani noted:

"The course is a medical course if you do it in a university and do your internship after."

Kylie_stewards said:

"Yabatech is not bad; that poly as its name makes it seem bad."
