Is der any1 dat knw d process or mode of ui pst ume.pls inform mi.because i learnt dy require a sound o'level n nt jamb.she na truth.

Yes na True.

Pls can u tell mi hw dey do the grading of d o'level n jamb in ui@delejames

now this is serious
what will be my fate with no score atall in maths

Ui places more of their priority on 0'level than jamb. So if u wanna enter UI, it's beta u ve a very sound 0'level as dat is their major concern. Wat UI usually does is calculate d scores of ur 0'level 2gether wit ur jamb score(dere is a way dey calculate it) 2 form ur point. So if u score a reasonable point above ur course point, then u come 4 screening interview. Dat's UI system 4 u.

UI usually admits 2 batches. 1 on merit & 2nd batch whom ve 2 do change of course 2 d available courses & still has 2 come 4 interview. My experience in d last years was damn stressful. Bt i tank God 2day sha.

Tobs, i cousin scored 210, any hope for her to study geology and what was your interview about, u can drop your number, i'll call u

Hi everyone. I just read through your posts and since I have the information you all wanted, I decide to share.
Here is how the University of Ibadan calculates candidate's point for admission:

1. Your score in JAMB divided by 10. i.e if you score 270 in your UME just divide that by 10, this gives you a maximum of 40% and in this example it will be 27%

2. Write down your grades in in five relevant subjects. i.e English, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology (for Engineering, Science Applicants, Medicine inclusive of course). While English and Maths is compulsory, choose other three (most likely, the three choice subjects you wrote in your Jamb)

3. For the five subjects above, calculate your O-Level point thus:
A1 , 6
B2 , 5
B3 , 4
C4 , 3
C5 , 2
C6 , 1
D7, E8, F9 , 0
Add-up your points for the five subjects and multiply your result by 2. This gives you a maximum of 60%

4. If you are Mr Brains and you have 400/400 in JAMB , that's 40%. And another A1 in 5 relevant subjects that's 5 * 6 * 2 = 60% which gives you a total of 100%.

Bingo! that's your point. If you calculate your point to something like say 60% man, you can go to sleep cos UI will take such percent.

More info? e-mail me.

Nice info frm naijamk. At least d UI Jambites finally knw how to calc their grade for admission purpose. Anyone who has calc his/her % shld post it here

calculated mine using each of my two sittings, the first sitting i got 65% and the second sitting i got 73%

Hey Naijamark! As much as I appreciated the effort you put in explaining how the grading is done, something tells me that 60% couldn't be the minimum score. Say for example, if 60% was to be minimum, anybody who has C5 in 5 subjects has to score 400 in JAMB to get admission, which is not possible. I have more than 60% by the way, but I just felt that couldn't be the minimum.

Dat is just the basic truth about UI's admission process. But last year, a friend of mine score 65 point. with o'level in one sitting with a jamb score of 292. He applied for economics and wasn't granted admission. He was advised to obtain a change of course of which he chose SPECIAL EDUCATION to garantee his admission but still was denied admission to his greatest surprise.

What really happened still ain't clear to us but one thing i know 4 sure is that UI admission this days is very competitive as many brillant student from all over the country will be applying to get a place in the PREMIER UNIVERSITY which is known 4 excellence. So for you to win all other students from all over the country to secure a place in UI, you got to really sit tite and pray hard because it ain't a child's play.

Any way, i ain't scaring u but challenging u to be more prayful as that can really turn things around with serious hard work.

Wish u all the best

I think you are right there, 60% is not the minimum score but in some departments, it is higher.
Don't you know some guys had distinctions in all subjects? And that you guys are applying to study the same course in the same school? Its the competition sir.

Do u av any ideal abt veterinary medcine av calculated mine i av 58% olevels 36 jamb 22.

@naija mark thanks alot, to everyone i have the last admission cut-off with me, am gonna post it soon,

the cut-off list is not yet out, As far as you UI is concern no body knows what they will come up with . i will advice you to guys choosing UI as first choice should read hard and pray.The calculation may not work this year due to some reason as i was told in the admmsion office today 17/06/2008. if there is any updated story i will post u guys. shegzyland003@yahoo.co.uk

Now, I can boldly say that not very many can boast of that, not even those who used "mgbo, mgbo". Out of a thousand, you may only be able to find just about 10 who has complete distinction in all subjects.

Now, you'd better not start scaring people. What did you hear? And what connection have you got over there?

@all

NO NEED TO BE SCARED,
HARD WORK WILL DO THE TRICK

BESIDES, I'VE seen people "cashing" their way into school, as their last resort,
It's a bad idea!

thanks to everybody for the contribution of ui post ume,but does anybody have an idea on the nature of the knid of questions one should expect to see in the post ume exams?also is there any date yet ?

glomerry:

What the heck is this

Pls kip us info.luv u all .

Now you guys don't be sacred. Am a student of UI department of economics and i did the last "post ume" rituals. My weighted score was about 65% and economics was probably 75%. You see most people who had 70% and upwards were in real trouble because they had to really defend their scores and as such their interview was really a drill at the end only 30 were picked out of the numerous "qualified". Now for people like me and some who even had as low as 55% came for supplementary and out of 60, 30 or 31 were choosen. Most of the lecturers know that most students who fell into the supplementary list were the ones who actually worked for both their jamb and waec grades not the special centers ones. I remember the case of the guy who was asked what is equilibrum price and he responded: jale jale price. He was still given admission, since he was old probably left school maybe 10yrs ago and his grades weren't certainly super but hey he's doing well now. Another thing is that most people making waves in the department are the supplementary students. Thats where the real "eshin's" are, so there's special consideration for students who don't meet the cut off so don't let anyone tell you to forget UI just because you had 60% what determines the cutoff is the average weighted score of all applicants to that department. Also you'd see some who had like 5% less the cutoff and yet were invited for the merit interview, these cases fall under some special waivers for some areas just to encourage them. So you see there's more to admission than just grades. Just put your mind on it and rely on God. UI was even my second choice and a friends second choice in the same department. Note in social sciences the most competitive of all departments is economics and you'd be surprised at the cutoff some people came in with.

@ Adewaleafolabi

Nice to know you are from the Economics department, because that's the department I'm angling for over there, so please keep me posted on developments over there.
To the weighted average, I happen to have about 71.5%, and you made the whole issue sound scary. I'm not afraid to defend my score though anywhere, but can you give me some clues at to the kind of things to expect in the interview and, is it oral or written?. Thanks.
