The top courses as you've said are competitive but when it comes to medicals,it's competition from time to time.Though they said top 100 from utme and if they can take more than 50 from diploma which they did last year,they will.You said they should add chemistry and d likes to compete too??do you know what the internal competition is like not to talk of adding external competitors....You know what,for the non medical competitive courses,the competition drastically reduce after gaining the admission.Do you know medical courses don't stop there after d admission??do you know they will still face "negative marking" in their incourses which is done in almost every 2-3 weeks??or do accounting/law and d likes do that?do those top courses compete per year as mbbs and bds do?having a reseat for pros(Annual professional exam) while still in school...It does not happen in those competitive courses you mentioned.If you see a medical student that spent more than 6yrs in medical school,respect him/her.They use 50(credit pass),anything below that is fail and this doesn't happen in top courses you said.It's not that he's dull but he's a lion with scar.My point is competition for other "top courses" as said reduces compare to medical courses.

Your point note,
What's the criteria for crossing to luth, is it if you have below a particular GPA or u must pass some particular courses or just the top 100.
I am leaning towards the top 100. Are u now telling me that the 50 that will be added from diploma are better than those screened out? Bearing in mind most diploma student are those who couldn't make it thru utme.
All I want is some sanity in our admission process but I think the school Mgt is only after boosting the schools IGR thru foundation.
Abi what could be the reason for giving diploma admission to those who have 40% in even accounting and other top courses. Why would supplementary list be times 3 of merit list. Labode come dey talk about competition.

Kennedyiheme:
there's nothing to regret

I was offered my present course 2years before I finally gained admission. I still regret that till now. No course is as bad as most people see it to be. Productivity is the key.

The criteria was 50s in all important courses and now they introduction of CGPA.I'm not supporting those with 40% and they got in,that's business strategy for u.You know what,unilag can asnwer d rest of ur questionsBut to compare other courses competition to medical competition.

ananne:
Guys pls.....what is the rationale behind the supplementary list? I noticed that last year, all courses had supplementary lists with courses like economics having many people admitted in the supplementary list.


My question is....after the screening of those who made the merit list, will the number of people on the supplementary list be based on the number of people who failed the screenining based on subject confirmation and the likes.

What is the criteria used in choosing those who made the supplementary list?

Finally someone from the admission office told me that a few people who scored slightly lower than the merit cut off will make the merit list. This may happen in some courses.

Supplementary is for those close to cut off and those that have extra legs.The people that fail out during screening has failed out,nothing like readmission for them till next year.The criteria is for those that did COC,close to cut off and of course LEG.

Anybody repping estate mgt!!leTs meet,!!hoping. on my 58.0

That's true.That's why most of the rich prefer diploma and utme na just 10k(5k utme and 5k putme) shikena.

yeah not for smeone who is passionate about his course but cldnt get it and decide to stick with "early childhood" or "adult education" because he/she wants admission, I'm not saying those tht chose this course frm jamb registration dnt knw wht they are doing, all I'm saying is don't eat crumbs from the bread when you can always buy bread anytime"

tennyson10:
bro,there are lots of regrets.1 extra year at home can never be regained.

if the course is being offered in polytechnicn why not?

is there any assurance the person would get it d next year. The educational system is getting worse. Its not always about passion. It was passion that made me waste 2yrs,and now I'm in love with my present course I once deffered.

What is the bone of contention here?, those of you discouraging others not to change their courses and stay extra year at home should try and think before talking, these people know what they are doing, don't discourage anyone please let them follow their heart, you don't have any idea about the decision, you don't even know what the person is up to, changing a course to education is not a bad idea but an alternative to explore and learn....You are not too old to learn, if your dream is to study MBBS and you end up not meeting the cut off you can decide to talke another Jamb or change to a less competitive one so as not to waste your time at home, some people here are not free on their own, hey need to explore before they can learn....you can change your course and take it a temporary measure to what you want to do and at the same time next year take another Jamb while in school and re-apply for your dream course.

Whatever situation you find yourself make sure you are moving forward, don't wait for one thing because you have passion for it...Think. You can always get that thing, all you need is patience for yourself. If you try Jamb and it does not work fond an alternative and keep it in your mind the reason behind your action....take responsibility. At this stage of our life, we must learn to start taking decisions on our own, no one should influence your decision, the ball is in your court.....I have taken my decision and I know what I want and no one will decide my faith for me....The fact that I fail now does not mean I will fail tomorrow, it only gives me an edge and opportunity to re-strategise and plan again...but for goodness sake keep moving forward never stop.
If you cannot fly, run.
If you cannot run, walk.
If you cannot walk, crawl.
If you cannot crawl, hold on to a moving thing and let it drag you but don't ever stop moving...don't be stagnant all in the name of you wanting one particular course.

You are a wise man. kudos! some of my friends that i thought was studying Botany/Zoology in school as at 2008 are already graduating as medical doctors, pharmacists, etc. Sometimes you just have to get into the system(university) first and then navigate your way accordingly.

Oh ye arguing arguers, make some peace!!!

that is exactly what I am saying, you don't know what someone is planing for himself, you just have to take the bold step....forget what people will say now, your Future and what you see is within you, no one sees it except you so don't have that thought that the friends you started with are now ahead of you...hmm. A junior today might become the senior tomorrow.....Success has to do with consistency and not a sudden appearance of what you want... Success without sad stories in my view is not a convincing one, I will just take it as lucky and smooth one. Learning is a continuous process, life is about trying every new thing you see and learn from the outcome...when you learn, you build your knowledge, the knowledge you have makes you confidence and your confidence builds your character, your character in turn will lay the foundation of you as a person.

oh yes if you can't fly runn but dnt go and run into a lagoon.....everybody is moving but sme people are falling into the pit while sme people are barely on a straight road, how can a science student study adult childhood? Or home economics? Its just total stupidity, tell me where those years of burning the candle to memorize formulars in chemistry, wasted? All gone because u wonna go t unilag and flex.....all I'm sayin is if a student aspiring for mbbs doesn't get it, a better option is any science related course, but if they don't give u any science related course like, physics,mechanical enginering, computer science etc. Your next option is polytechnic simple, ". But changing from medicine to home economics? Who da hell does that?

Pls am scred I scored 56.88 going for political science and I wrote lit,gov,crk and eng do u think my subject combination is ☺‎​kå¥, and how does one fail d screening? Pls I need urgent ans. Thanks

that is an erroneous impression, you just have to weight your options and see which one sought you better, polytechnic is a good option and so also changing to another course in the university is also as good as the formal, I am an MBBS aspirant and I didn't make the cut off, what you are saying now is that I should go to poly or choose any science related course. Very nice analysis, now let me give you an insight of another analysis and judge which is better. I chose unilag and yaba tech as my first choice university and polytechnic respectively...MBBS cut of is 70.13, and my catchment Lagos is 67.38, I had an aggregate of 67.25. From various things I have heard so far, it is either I am lucky to be considered into the supplementary list or I lose the admission, I also heard they may give me other courses because that was done last year. My conclusion was that the giving of other courses last year boils down to the fact that the number of applicants wasn't many compare to this year and I know many MBBS applicants must have scored far better score than mine...If I say they will give me a course or lucky to get MBBS and it ends up futile then I will have to retake Jamb and stay at home for months preparing for another post utme. For the yaba tech, after my analysis I realised that those they admitted last year started their first semester June/july this year. If I write the post utme which I have already registered for anyway and get admitted I might not resume till may/june next year which boils down to the fact that I will still stay another year even before I resume for poly as I am even sure unilag would have started the sale of form for the next academic session...so which will you go for as a person, choose another course which will be guranteed in unilag or wait for list which is not very sure because it is only luck and miracle that can make your name appear.
