YABATECH Physical Screening Extension 2026

Yaba College of Technology has extended the physical screening exercise for newly admitted candidates by one week. The extension takes effect from Friday, 17 April 2026.

The Management says it observed a low turnout of newly admitted candidates for the screening exercise; that trend, it says, is not acceptable.

Why YABATECH Extended the Screening Period

The College states that only candidates with matriculation numbers are recognised as bona fide students of the College. That point sits at the centre of this notice.

For that reason, candidates who have not completed physical screening are expected to use this extra window and finish the process within the new deadline.

New Deadline for Physical Screening

YABATECH fixed Friday, 24 April 2026, as the deadline for the extended screening period.

Candidates who are yet to conclude their physical screening are to comply before that date. The warning is direct; failure to do so may lead to forfeiture of provisional admission.
