The much awaited COC will be out next week. We don’t have much details about it for now. It was only stated on their website [url]admissions.ui.edu.ng[/url], a little inconspicious at the right-bottom that:

"CHANGE OF COURSE
Change of Course into University of
Ibadan for the 2016/2017
Admission Session will commence
next week."

Now, let’s get to the main points.

Before that, we all know that the COC is an avenue for; we can say a chance given to those who didn’t get up to the cut-off marks of their various courses to change to some courses with spaces left in their admission quota ie. number of candidates to be admitted.

Now to the important points.

1. Have it in mind that not all courses will be on the COC. The courses with spaces left to admit candidates will be listed on the COC with the spaces left.


2. Before you choose a course to change to, make sure your subjects’ combination is the one required for that particular course you want to change to. In essence, pick up your brochure. NOTE: This is the most important point.


3. Note that new cut-off marks which will not be published will be determined for the available courses on the COC with respect to the spaces left and the scores of aspirants changing to each course on the COC.


4. Remember you are not the only one changing course, those with higher marks than yours who choosed courses with higher cut-off marks but didn’t meet the cut-off marks are also going to change to the limited courses available.

For instace, let’s assume that a naive student A with mark 65.75 in the screening didn’t meet up to the cut-off mark for medicine which was 76.65 and student B with mark 60.55 in the screening didn’t meet up to the cut-off mark for dentistry which was 64.29 and that both of them are friends.

The naive student will want to change to a course which will allow him to cross-over to medicine after his first year or a course in the college of medicine thinking he has a better chance of getting admitted than his friend, student B. He won’t think of those with mark 73.75; just 2 marks short of the cut-off for medicine who will also want to change to a course that’ll allow them cross-over to their preferred course after their first year or also a course in the college of medicine. If luckily, physiology with 14 spaces and MLS with 8 spaces both jumped on the COC, he will rush to pick either without thinking twice thereby competing with those[b] 8 marks higher[/b] than his score. If eventually he was not given admission, he’ll start wondering how his friend, student B with a good adviser got admitted.

He won’t know that his friend who really needed the admission changed to botany with 10 spaces. The friend knew that those with higher scores would have rushed to physiology and MLS, so he took his adviser’s advice and changed to botany. That’s exactly how the COC works.

Use your senses if you really need the admission.



5. And the last point is that: use your long legs. Whoever you think you know who works in UI, contact them. If you a person who knows a person who works in UI, contact them. Practically contact anyone you know there. You’ll see that this works wonders.

I’ve seen by myself a person who got 67 last year who choosed medicine which had a cut-off mark of 74 changed to MLS on the COC. He eventually was not given admission. Later, I heard about a person who got a lower mark and also changed to the same MLS given admission.

I also got another case but I don’t want to mention it here.

So, if you have long legs, use it.


NOTE: If you’re a mark or less short of the cut-off, do not fret. It’s most likely that you’ll be admitted to your preffered course. But to avoid a sorry case, it’ll be good if you also change your course in the COC. It’ll be a case of double chances of getting admitted.


And that’s all about changing of course in UI. It’ll most likely be free. Checkout my other articles at https://uivents.. If you have any question or a contradictory opinion, feel free to mention it by commenting below. All will be answered.

Thank you and God bless.

Hello everyone.

Someone told me the merit list is out and pasted at the "admin." block of the school.

I think UI always put the names of those given admission on the website.

So, I am not sure if my source was right after all.

OP thanks ,we really appreciate ur effort

I'll advise you change to one educational course like education physics or chemistry but make sure the subjects' combo are the same first.

Thanks for stopping by.

Very possible. But it'll be better if you also do the change of course.

If you'll be given dentistry, you'll be given irregardless.

You can cross-over to medicine after your 1st year with courses like biochemistry, physiology and human nutrition but not all will be on the COC.

Pick up your jamb brochure and check the subject requirement for psychology.
