Businessideas: 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 |

[/color] geronra:[color=#006600][quote author=NwaAmaikpe post=62239331] ![]() 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. 2 Likes |

ibadanfinest: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 3 Likes |

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

NwaAmaikpe: 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 4 Likes |

Businessideas: 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. 1 Like |

ibadanfinest: 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

Businessideas: 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 1 Like

damosky12: 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. 2 Likes |

jstbeinhonest: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. 1 Like |

Businessideas: 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.. 1 Like |

ibadanfinest: 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. 4 Likes |

NwaAmaikpe: 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 3 Likes |

gokuu: 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. |

damosky12: 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. 3 Likes |

greenek: 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. 2 Likes |
