unilag!! 8k too small nah, y not 10k, it would have been better!

Businessideas:
See levels!
UNILAG remains the University of First Choice and the nation's pride.
Only UNILAG can do this.
These are candidates with 6 credits in O'level at ONE sitting and scored above 200 yet some universities admit failed jamb candidates with less than 150,accept candidates with 5 credits at two sittings yet wondered why their school product are inferior and substandard graduates.
Only UNILAG maintains the highest criteria for admission of 6 credits at single sitting yet 32,000 candidates still qualified because the school raised it's bar of admission.
Only the best of the best is good enough for UNILAG to continue in its tradition of excellence.
That's why some people beef UNILAG for life.

Bros it is 5 credit in one sitting. There is no university in Nigeria whose admission requirement is 6 credit in one sitting.

Unilag post utme cut off is 40. Ife and Ibadan will never accept 49.9999 for Yoruba education.

lastly where is the facility to train 8000 fresher's. the available hostel capacity for all the students nearing 40000 does not exceed 6000.

The school is admitting way above capacity. They should learn from UI whose admission is largely based on merit

Just ideal.
Take out the tares and admit the wheats.

87% of applicants to Unilag do not have academics as their main motivation.
I'm just being modest.
Unilag students are the least academically focussed in all of Nigeria.

Unilag is a cliché, a thing of class and an indication of social status rather than a citadel of academics.
To them; being a student of Unilag takes them three step higher in the rungs of their warped social ladder.

How does one explain a school whose female students are actresses in KingTBlacHoc's videos and it's male students are Ycee and Lil Kesh?
Yeah thank you but we're not complaining. Talking about academics pls go check for most academic records in Nigeria the school that currently holds most of them. From first graduating student with a perfect CGPA, first female graduating students with perfect CGPAs , performance of our law students in the Nigerian law school to even the highest number of first class graduates in a single yearto mention just a few. Pls get your facts right. Unilag is a school where social life and academics are balanced so pls stop the hate. You mentioned Ycee, Lil kesh we're very proud of them thank you.

No fewer than 24,000 applicants to the University of Lagos who scored 200 marks and above will still be unable to secure admission in the institution in the 2017/2018 academic session.
Read More Details:
http://www.24dailynews9ja.com/2017/11/unilag-will-only-admit-8000-out-of.html?m=1
The outgoing Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Rahamon Bello, gave the indication at a forum with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.

He said that although 32,000 applicants to the university scored 200 marks and above in this year’s Unified Tertiary matriculation examination (UTME), Unilag would not admit beyond 8,000.

Bello said that the university insisted that an applicant must also score at least 40 per cent in Unilag’s post-UTME before consideration for admission.

“We know what goes on in our public examinations. That is why we insist on candidates undertaking our post UTME and scoring at least 40 per cent,’’ he said.

That's why nigeria will remain a nation without an education system....... How in the world can a university move forward with over 35,000 students

You may be right especially if you are quoting from Jamb brochure but if you had attended UNILAG,especially, Faculty of Engineering, you will understand that your five credits without Further Maths will not get you admitted sir.
The other schools like UI and Ife you mentioned, have for decades, had lower admission criteria like accepting two sittings of O'LEVEL and even lower cutoff marks than UNILAG and I wondered how you think 8,000 is still lower than its carrying capacity when you don't have your fact and the school management that has the fact had stated in actual fact the school has even reduced it's admission ratio in favor of Post Graduate. For ages,UNILAG has always maintained the highest criteria for admission so the outgoing university is just continuing with the tradition of the school.
And for the 40% , that is standard university lowest pass score.In admission process,it is not the only requirement but it just gets you to be considered for merit list so a candidate targeting 40% or who scored 40% may not eventually be admitted.That is what the VC is saying in coded words sir

University Of Ibadan would never admit a student that scores below 50 in their PUTME. Besides, UI is admitting just 3500 this session.

who is this sef, spewing shit this morning, you did not attend unilag, so, where did you get your statistics from?
every school has its bad side, unilag isnt an exception, but enveloping the whole school based on some bad example is totally unfair and unjust..
for every ycee, there is a PROF Osibanjo, and every lil kesh, there is Dele Olojede pulitzer prize winner, Oby Ezekwesili, Pst Adeboye , to mention a few...
please be modest and sensible with your post.

great akokite

Lol........... These are some of the reasons why most students want to go to unilag. Nothing Special there i tell you

Nothing special about any university in Nigeria though the likes of Unilag are better for a few reasons.

This is another stupid comment.

The school said it does not give a damn about your O level. The condition is simple if you can score above 39.9% you will be considered for admission. You can bring 7 A's and 350 Jamb if you score 35, your out.

cut-off is 40% for what course?

and you cant come here to tell us that UI's admission is totally based on merit, everybody knows that this is not true..

If you meet the merit, you would get admitted in unilag, but there are also conditions, ur jamb combination must be correct, and also meet the waec requirements...some people would fail in one of the requirements but pass the cut-off point and then they would expect to be admitted..

Unilag has the facility to train the number of students it chooses to admit, and the hostel capacity exceeds 6000, and thats just for the already built hostels, more than 4 new hostels are under construction..

Unilag might not be totally transparent in its admission processing, UI or OAU is no way better in this aspect also, but whats merited would be given

then the comment you responded to, Unilag doesnt accept two sittings for even igbo education, UI only does one sitting for medicine or you can prove me wrong

lastly see the picture i attached for education faculty that has the lowest cut-off mark

Its time to diversify, abandon the universities in lagos,abj and ph. Try other skools in bauchi, buk, ebsu etc.

thank you soo much..
they would just be talking bad about unilag without doing proper findings.
bro, its not only engineering o, computer sciences, mathematics and physics needs futher maths in addition to the five olevel subject in order to be considered for admission..

me i like backing things up with facts, see the pix below

Sadly, he is somewhat right. Just a bit exaggerated.
Too many of UNILAG students have no business in the university. Its no surprise they paid their way through. Nevertheless, UNILAG's status as a genuine citadel of learning is unchanged for those who came for the purpose of education.

UNILAG remains the University of first choice and the Nation's pride.

You always get what you came for.

People attend universities for different reasons. MBA candidates attend business schools for the network, not academics.
People attend universities that speak to their career interests, not mere academics.

I am proud to have attended the University of Lagos and I would not think twice about a do-over; it was a truly diverse community. UNILAG students have very diverse interests; some come for the academic depth of the science and engineering faculties, others come for the strong network in the arts and social sciences. Me, I attended for the University's strong record in finance and business education.

Most tech billionaires did not attend Stanford or MIT for academics, they simply wanted access to Silicon Valley and VC investors - once they got that, they dropped out.

Uniben for life

Does UI do exams or evaluation screening? And why are you forgetting or ignoring the fact that UNILAG is the only school that has for years insisted on One sitting while other schools like UI accommodate multiple sittings and combination of O'LEVEL results.It's so funny that you still think 40% score is enough to guarantee you admission in UNILAG.My advice for you is to experience the battle of survival in getting admission in UNILAG first and you will know why for years,it had been the university of first choice.F or decades,more candidates in Nigeria prefer to attend UNILAG than any other schools including UI sir
The carrying capacity of university is not fixed sir.As we speak right now,Faculty of Pharmacy of UI has lost its accreditation and have their capacity reduced and UI has a lower admission ratio for undergraduate than the 40:60 UNILAG has adopted.

ok

also, only unilag's faculty of law has full accreditation to run a law degree in Nigeria, OAU,UI have partial accreditation..

40% that some people are claiming, i doubt it, please show proof.. the last time i checked, unilag admission portal clearly stated, ''ELIGIBILITY:
Interested candidates with the necessary requirements who scored 12 and above in the University’s Post-UTME are eligible to apply'' 12marks in post utme is = 40%...so, 40% isnt the total aggregate, its just your postjamb score..

Before I was admitted via direct entry into the faculty of engineering with my ND result, I had the following:

1. Distinction from a recognised polytechnic
2. Credit pass in F - maths
3. O/Level at one sitting

My friends who finished with upper all rushed to OAU and were all admitted. They never did F - maths and some may not have cleared their O/level at a sitting. When throwing banter at one another, I still tell them they wouldn't have made it to unilag with the high standard that has been laid.

No one ever told you your vice president who doubles as a professor of Law is an alumnus of unilag. It would be a big waste of time schooling you on the subject, yourself along side those who liked your comment wouldn't just cease to beef an institution that has produced one of the highest notable alumni in Nigeria.

BTW, you can make us a list of the school where the most academically focused candidates apply to. Anticipating

Cheers

You said "people attend universities that speak to their career interest". This isn't relevant in this discuss as many of the students of UNILAG came either to pass time, maintain tradition or more rampantly, to have fun.
These are not serious reasons for attending a university. Its clear.

thanks for this bro

at my place of work, a fellow worker couldnt apply to unilag then because she graduated with upper credit (3.40) form yabatech in Quantity Surveying, she had to go to OAU. Unilag minimum requirement was a distinction

people just talk without facts many times and criticize unjustly because of nay say

are you a student of unilag or an alumnus?, this thought pattern is very low. "many of the students of UNILAG came either to pass time, maintain tradition or more rampantly, to have fun"..whats the basis of your statistics.."MANY" is a very strong word..

if you are a student or an alumnus, please speak for yourself, that you went to unilag "to pass time, maintain tradition or more rampantly, to have fun"..and if you aint a student or an alumnus, please keep quiet and stop talking ignorantly.

You can't but notice the beef many of them have against unilag. It was just recently that prerequisite was removed from our courses. Most engineering courses have prerequisites till final year; I really wonder how one wouldn't get serious knowing fully that if he fails a course, it's an automatic extra year for him on campus.

Nigerians are so used to the unhealthy student-lecturers relationship, academic rigour and undue stress across universities, anything contrary to those odd practices is unseriousness by their definition.

You can't prove much to them, they've made up their minds.

Well, now that you know all these, can recommend the schools where these things are not found among their students? Don't also forget to tell us how long you spent studying there.

You may not have been to any other school but you leaped into a conclusion without any basis of comparison.


We call this fallacy "appeal to authority of the many " as well as "appeal to authority of unreal expert".

Every man to his opinion though
