It is disheartening that our great nation is rather growing in numbers with people that just read topics and begin to criticize without looking in-depth into the subject matter.
The reason why most Nigerian graduates parade the streets with a pass grade is not because they were dull at school, but because they may have spent reading time in doubting what a Professor (who already had a PhD before their birth) teaches.
While you were having wet dreams from the girl you met in your sleep, I was up all night and calculating figures that ranked the list you see. I do not intend to insult anyone on Nairaland but I strongly believe if webcams were activated in every PC, one may one day see a donkey criticizing at the other end.

Note some statistics of candidates that applied for a specific course in a some popular schools below

In order to avoid writing something too long, I will stop at the few statistics above
Now give you own interpretation on the following.
On the average,
1143 applied for Civil Engineering (generally)
1326 applied for Electrical Electronics (generally)
1088 applied for Mechanical Engineering (generally)
And an average of 444 applied for architecture (generally)

Now tell yourself the harder course, using your own judgment


If you have a better way of using the information in the link above to derive at a better list, Please introduce and teach me.

See Nigerians and their over-religious attitude.the Op said warn your younger ones..does not mean they won't get thus courses. Could be thhat he meant warn them to prepare hard if they wish to get any of the courses.

U mean architecture isn't part of ur 25 list? Truly u are a BIG joker, so u ar tellin me eng, marketin and oda dumping ground cums b4 archy? U funny o. Architecture shud b among d 1st ten there.

@op pls. Next time i think d word hardiest is not dat appropriate in dis topic, i suggest d word like, the most sought after courses in our higher institution should b d best when rating d courses base on the number of students apply for them. Pls. I respects all d courses studying in all our various institutions, some of dis courses dat made it to ur (hot 25) no doubt they are hot while some are not hot as Architecture.

lusen: U mean architecture isn't part of ur 25 list? Truly u are a BIG joker, so u ar tellin me eng, marketin and oda dumping ground cums b4 archy? U funny o. Gt is right dat d no. of applicants pursuein a course doesn't dictate hw hard it is 2 get. Architecture shud b among d 1st ten there.
