  • JUPEB: good grade in Physic, Chemistry and Advance Level Mathematics
  • IJMB A'Level: good points enough to be considered for admission
  • National Diploma (ND): Upper Credit in relevant engineering programme.
  • Higher National Diploma (HND): lower or upper credit in relevant engineering programme.
All the qualifications mentioned above eligible the holders to 200 level but if an applicant present HND with upper credit he could be considered to 300 level of the Electrical Engineering.
