Lol. I don't know why ppl argue with the fact that UI is by far the best Uni in Nigeria. It is the only Nigerian Uni in the top 1000 in the world. There is more than 800 unis between UI and the next uni on any of the world uni rankings including Time Uni and webometrics rankings. Please, try to crosscheck my figures first before coming to nairaland to argue. Thank u

Ugosample:


That's a fact that no one can argue

But saying Unlilag na wash is a ridiculous statement

Gaddafithe2nd:
Uniben don't use catchment area. It is what I know.

I have guys that graduated from that school they were never from South-South they got admission on merit

AYFikayomi:


They do

And you can't say the same about UniLag? You think all Akokites are from the South West?

JeogahII:
Unijos our Unijos! Good luck to all Unijos applicants. Once a jossite always a josite!

Heard so much about unilag, was so happy when I got admitted to study for a master degree......alas, the best lecturers that taught me there, were the ones on sabbatical from UI and OAU. The real unilag lecturer....hiann, let me not start...anyways was so disappointed at the end of the day......the school wasn't what I expected.

So that school of first choice....na massive wash.

Unilag considers catchment area in their merit lists while, Uniben do not consider catchment in their merit lists . It is what I know. Many students were admitted through the merit list just because they are from Southwest. Cut off would be 65, a guy from Oyo or Lagos that got 62 would be considered just because the cutoff for the catchment area is 61, while a student from non-Southwestern state that got the same score (62) won't be considered.
Catchment area should be stopped in all Nigerian universities, it is nonsense.

EzeIgboNwaChukwu:
check your bolded. you are not right. my name came out on merit list tho I didn't make the cut off yet still I was admitted on first batch cos I'm from Delta which is under uniben's catchment

Gaddafithe2nd:

Really! Then I give up on all govt owned universities in Nigeria. Catchment area should be stopped. Because when I had admission into Unilag in a 2010, guys that entered Uniben, were picked on merit in their first list, catchment wasn't used back then. Policies do change.

Shikena:

Please stop quoting those useless online rankings. Nobody takes them serious outside the third world. Have you ever seen their ranking criteria? Can any of them tell you which Engineering program is better between OAU and Unilorin, for example? Can they give you the ranking of UI medicine vs UNILAG medicine? There is no university ranking in Nigeria. Universities are not high schools and ranking them goes far beyond searching for research publications on the web or checking quality of their websites.

EzeIgboNwaChukwu:
you don already graduate ni. no allow make e bother u.
only UI and UNIPORT don't use catchment

ADMAF:

Well, Times higher rankings is the most reputable higher education ranking body in the world.you may like to cross check that fact again. You can also take a bit of time to check its ranking criteria b4 u just conclude.The ranking criteria is diverse and consistent
The only controversial one is webometrics because it's believed it considers only online presence but it has also greatly widened it's scope. Thank you

EzeIgboNwaChukwu:
u suppose don old by now

An observer with a keen eye,will notice that those costly UNI such as covenant,afe babalola,babcock,bowen et al did not even make this LIST!! So u can understand my befuddlement when some says there're the best

Lilimax:

The highest jamb scorer this year is heading for a private university. Keep talking like a kid there. By the way how much does govt spend on the public university grads?

Unizik with 48000+ students when they won’t even take up to 8000... quick question is what will the 40k+ students do?.
Education is overrated

Humility017:
I know UNIBEN will be there.proudly UNIBEST.

damosky12:
hmm. These jambites are naive o. How would you choose Unilorin over the University of first choice and the Nations pride; UNILAG?
