QueenNemesis:
Good day guys!

Is there a way the number of applicants to various departments can be accessed??

This will also help to serve as a guide.

I have searched the whole of google, no positive results.

Yea jamb will release it soon
Perhaps after the change of institution/change of course has ended

Annibiteye:

Courageous spirit, and it will surely work for you

DokitaDave, where are you? Come enlighten your coursemate to be

Thank you for calling my attention to this ma.

Firstly, let me also salute your courage for holding your head up high in the face of public ignorance even when you seem not to totally understand what is obtainable in Dentistry and Dental Surgery.

So many people (including prospective undergraduates) do not understand the nitty-gritty of Dentistry, hence they do not appreciate it or pick it as a choice course, as the case may be. (By the way, this is somewhat to the advantage of the usually few dental applicants because this sort of brings the cut-off mark down each year)

In simple terms, I'll say Dentistry and Dental Surgery is basically a specialty in medicine that allows you to specialize right from your undergraduate days. Some arguments I read about Dentistry and Dental Surgery on social media are not accurate and thus misleading.

Right from your first year till about after your first year in UCH, BDS and MBBS students take thesame courses all through. Infact, dental students offer more courses. Dental students write more MB (professional medical exams) than MBBS guys. We both spend thesame number of years in school and we do things together many times.

I don't want to sound like someone trying to glorify a course above another because we are both workers in the medical field. BDS and MBBS graduates are regarded as Doctors. They both belong to thesame professional body (NMA) and the prospect is thesame in Nigeria (that's if Dental graduates don't even have upper hand due to the fewer graduates been churned out in the country each year). What about pay? In Nigeria, BDS and MBBS graduates earn thesame using thesame salary scale. In some other western worlds (like the US), dentists earn more than their counterparts.

What else?

My friend, you have made the right choice and you shouldn't be discouraged by the wrong arguments you find in many public spheres.

Let me know if there are some other things you are still not clear about please.

Alright but believe me there are still top bosses" condomsir", neurojosh and isiss where have you been.??

i dey here dey greet you sir....

CondomSir:
No UI male student is here.. why

There are. I am one too. Just like Bobola07 wrote, we've been writing tests lately and exams start in about a week time, so that might have kept a lot of students busy.

holuwajobar:
any idea of UI school fee last year

I am not sure if students in all faculties paid the same amount, but first year students of the College of Medicine and Faculty of Science paid N24,750 as tuition. That's separate from the N14,000 for accommodation and N30,000 admission acceptance fee.

holuwajobar:
any idea of UI school fee last year

from 19-25 excluding ges fee. Nd ges fee is 3000

in fact when jamb releases candidate statistics, download that of all schools that offer BDS, you'll see that d number of applicants to each skul is never more than 500. Compared to MBBS wia about 6,7,8 or even 10 thousand aspirants jostle for d slots.

We can always look up to God through Christ and we are sure we won't go wrong brother.

Nonetheless, trust me, you can be sure of a nice and warm reception in our family-like department. Personally, I am eager to receive you, Bobola and other dental aspirants here in UI come January next year.

Bobola07:


okay. Philosophy. UI doesnt use all your o'level subjects. They use the 5 that's applicable to your course. Calculate your aggregate using last year's model and compare to d cutoff.

Larabae help out pls

mayowab904:
tell me UI requirements for philosophy

are u applying for a course that you don't know the o'level requirements?

I'm nt an art student but i "feel" u might require stuffs like english, literature, maybe government, history, crs or mathematics.

UI requires 5 o'level credits in english and art subjects

please is OAU specializing on O'level like UI?
