The Board has carved out four new specialized areas, out of what used to be known as Computer Science, comprising HND Artificial Intelligence, HND Networking and Cloud Computing, HND Software and Web Development, HND Cybersecurity and Data Protection.
The Board disclosed that there would no longer be admission into the HND Computer Science programme from the 2024/2025 academic session.
It also informed that admission from the 2024/2025 academic session into the erstwhile HND Computer Science programme will be only in the four new specialized areas.
Students who have already been admitted into the former programmes are given up till 2025 to phase out.
