Law

An over hyped profession with no money but where you spend millions in school.

after spending millions to train your child, your child starts earning 15k as a new wig


what a shame what a disgrace

I will never advise anyone to study that wretched course
Law and petroleum engineering are some of the most useless courses to study in the country. In fact any course that doesn't encourage self employment is a "useless" course.

Aunty calm down na, Law , alongside Medicine and The Religious leaders are thought of as the noblest of disciplines, and they still are till today. Apart from the religious businesses, anyone going into law and medical practice to make millions out of, may just end up as a frustrated wannabe.

There are lot of courses in Nigerian universities but some are more competitive than the other.
How do I know they are competitive? Simple! Take a look at the previous years cut off marks and
You will know what I’m talking about.

Below are the list of competitive courses in Nigeria starting from the least course ;

10. BIOCHEMISTRY

This course is competitive, a lot of candidate prefer to choose this course, why?
Just because they think they can cross over to medicine, Now you see why it is included.

9. COMPUTER SCIENCE

It is now longer a news that we are in the “computer world”.Candidate
choose this course because they believe that there are a lot of opportunities for the courses.

8. ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING

Everybody want to become an engineer one way or the other . As the world is moving fast, so as technology. A lot of opportunity are in engineering, sincerely.

7.POLITICAL SCIENCE

We all know what is going on in Nigeria politics, I should notbe telling you.
Everyboody want to play politics one way or the other. In Nigeria, there are a lot of opportunities
For those who know who (connections).

6. NURSING

Nurse, Nurse! The title sounds good to the ear right? Yeah. Most female candidates will fill in
for nursing , like 60% of them. Nursing is a good course in Nigeria. You don’t have to look for job before
you see one.

5. DENTITSRY AND DENTAL SURGERY :

Due to the limited slot to this course in universities, There is high competition . What do i mean? For example OAU admit only 25 student in this course, UI admit only 40 while some other school admit 10 candidate. Now you should know for yourself.

4. AGRICULTURE

Lately, there have been rise in the cut off mark of any agriculture related courses which means that the number of students applying for these courses are increasing year after year.

3. PETROCHEMICAL ENGINEERING

Everybody wants to work in CHEVRON, NNPC and so on, why? Maybe because of the huge salary and allowances since that is what students pursue. As a result of this, high number of students applyfor this course.

2. LAW

We all what law means. It makes you a lawyer. 90% of art students apply for this course year after year. Maybe because of the respect they earn from people, I just don’t know.


1. MEDICINE & SURGERY

80% of the science students waqnt tobecome doctors maybe becausetheir parents wants them to be, or maybe because of the respect and honour in the course. It shouldn’t be new to you anymore that medicine have the medicine have the highest cut off mark which means it is competitive.



Remember these list are from my research, that is why I clearly state reasons; so if you do agree or you feel the list is not complete. Then you can comment below with your reasons clearly stated.

Do you know the meaning of competitive? Political science, that lazy man course is what you called competitive course. Who and who is competing for it. When your mates are competing for medicine, mechanical engineering, civil, electrical, structural, computer and agricultural engineering and you are mentioning lazy men courses. I just weak for your opinion.

Sure this list didn't take Nigerians into consideration, how can list of competitive courses be drawn without accounting, economics, pharmacy, mechanical engineering, funny enough, these courses are in high demand in the market. Who still does petrochemical engineering these days? this op ehn, u could have said chemical, Petroleum, gas engineering to save stress. Even polymer engineering still rates higher than petrochemical.

Wow, you have missed the purpose of having a degree. I

It is not really about working in that sector. It is about gaining the required skills needed of a higher graduate, which most Nigerian graduates lack anywaysundecided

FYI, law is very much self employable except you are lazy.

1.Medicine & Surgery

2. Electrical & Electronics Engineering

3. Law

4. Accounting

5. Pharmacy

6. Economics

7. Computer Science

8. Architecture

9. Civil Engineering

Don't say what you don't know just to be seen as bright

Have you gone through Nursing training? If not. Keep quiet.
You can just hail your course and not try and look down on other courses.

Simplest indeed.
