I don't really know about their admission process, but I think @Benjax and @Chukwukapromise will know or have a hint about that of UNICAL and UNIPORT respectively

Yeah, dear aspirant, I'm a freshman-- UNICAL, BDS. I must say that the admission process is quite fair. If you're from any of the South-South states, you have an edge (Catchment). If you're from any of the ELDS-Education Less Developed States, you stand a good chance.

At present, the cut off mark for Medsurg is 296 Merit, as published by the school. Then, there were distributions to most states of their specific cut off marks, lower than the general cut off mark for Merit, Catchment or ELDS as the case may be. By the way, Dentsurg is pegged at 272 Merit.

Mode of calculation is UTME score + Post UTME score ÷ by 2.

The Post UTME was 40 questions to be taken within 20 minutes--- English, Maths, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Current affairs. English was about 20 questions while others shared the remaining 20 slots. Strictly O level questions!

They also do entertain subscriptions to supplementary admissions. They sometimes refer one to another course also, should one not meet up with one's first choice course. That one, perhaps, has no means of checking it's transparency.

SECOND CHOICE CANDIDATES are not considered!

goodman3:
I remember when I joined this thread, I was still searching for admission to study medicine and surgery but today as I speak to you all, I just got into my final year studying medicine. Is God not great? Never ever give up. The journey is rough, scary, tourtous and long but if you persevere, you will make it.

Thank you for that.

DrImmaculate:

MrEgghead:
Over the past fours years, I've been a strong admirer and a follower of this thread..

Here, I met a lot of personalities whom their words had been a source of encouragement in my staunch pursuit for a place in the Medical school.

The founding fathers of this thread in Lagusta, Josh, Ashashacash, DrHesjay and a host of others with their constant contributions deserve mentions.

Bobola07, Historian, and many of whom I met on Ibadan's thread deserve mentions also. If I drop my former monicker, I believe many of you would accede with me that its been a long way coming.

I gained admission into a course I had never wanted but chose to accept it on the virtues of family pressure and the fear of being left behind by my friends but It was a decision I've cultivated ambivalent feelings about. I became a shadow of my old self, my results were nothing to write home about in my second year; I had many carry overs and this was as a result of jamb exam coupled with hatred for the path I've chosen, though I'll be done this year; my recovery was just God's grace.

But to cut the long story short, I've just been admitted into Medicine and Surgery by the University of Benin making me a full blown member of this thread and I dedicate this success to God and every member of this thread, Thanks and God bless you all.

Quite inspiring. Congrats.

So That Means You Created Two Profiles;one With Your Phone And The Other At The Cbt Centre.I Only Created A profile With The Phone The Cbt Centre I Used Did Not Say Anything About Creating Another One At Their Centre.So How Do I Rectify This?.If I Create A New One Will It Be Updated With My Current Information And Wont Affect My Admission processing?.Pls Help Me Out

Let's start like this: log on to your e-mail, search the inbox for a message from "noreply@jamb.gov.ng". Check out your correct details from that message.

People don't create two profile, it's just one. Before any cybercafe attendant registers, he must set up a profile for you with which he can upload your information and fill in your online form.

Xandre:
I have Just been admitted to study Medicine in UniBen.


....I just don't know how to express my joy.

BRAVO!!!

Ibunkun1:
This Is Where The Issue Is.The Method Of Profile Creation This Year Is Different Because It Was Done Via SMS And Not The Account Creation On Jamb's Website.So Even When I Used My E-mail And Password It Won't Recognise It Because It Was Not There Before.Because When I Did My Jamb Registration The Centre Did Not Inform Us Create Any Profile On Jamb's Website.Pls Do You Understand My Point

Honestly, I don't understand what you mean. I'm certain the confirmation code/PIN was sent via SMS, then one proceeded to a CBT centre to complete the registration of which profile creation was part of it. At least, that's how I did mine. What actually is wrong with yours? Could it be a misconfiguration in your browser?

Ibunkun1:
Sorry How Will I Go About This Caps Issue Because When I Did My Jamb Profile Creation I Did It On My Phone.

Is that a way of saying you don't know your username/e-mail and password because those are the things needed to access it.

Victorious1999:
I have tried accessing Jamb Caps for a week plus, its displaying 'invalid email and password', i have requested for a new password thrice but no link is displayed in my email to access it, please what do i do?

Those are fake sites, I think. Go through www.jamb.org.ng/efacility

Make sure your browser is on desktop mode by changing it in the setting. Then, click on admission status. If it shows only your Reg Number, click on the "search" icon beside the Reg number so as to see everything.

All these while, I've been on the long walk to UNICAL BDS. I guess Baba God is about to pick my calls....

ISISs:

Wetin dey happen..
Boss benjax, where ur face?
Baba bobola, I dobale...unto the next one, oya...

I'm here. Shout out to all!!!

MY ADVICE TO THE NEWEST PRECLINICAL STUDENTS.

Congratulations to you all. I'm using ISIs and venmotors as a point of contact.
In as much as I would like to commend you all for a job well done, passing the premed and moving on to the promise land, I also want to reiterate that your journey to becoming a doctor/dentist just got started. Premed is notorious for painting the wrong picture of what the medical school truly entails, and the earlier you begin to disinhibit your senses from the euphoria of your premed accomplishments, the better med school might be for you. It's no longer a myth that the correlation between premed and medical school proper is almost nonexistent or very thin so to say, that's why in places like the USA one can study music at premed and still doing very well in medical school. Indeed, Medical school is an entirely very different 'pot of soup' not similar to anything you've ever come across before. Your degrees in pharmacology, pharmacy, anatomy, biochemistry, physiology etc, often becomes redundant once you set your foot into medical school.
Things are just different here and even the military can't boast of such rigour and organisation. That's medical school for you.

Learn to be serious: One important mistake preclinical students often repeat is the culture of taking things for granted. This is often orchestrated by the fact that most of us started reading even before the commencement of lectures or even worse, when we already have a degree in one of the preclinical subjects, let say anatomy. This often makes us feel there's no need learning "flexion and extention" since we already knew the circle of Willis. Attitudes like this often leaves us less attentive in class especially when very simple concept are being discussed, because we feel they are too simple and doesn’t deserve our time. The problem here is not that anybody will ever ask you flexion and extension in exams, but that we are starting on a wrong footing, which is "inattentiveness" in the the class. This often results to more episodes of inattentiveness, until it becomes a habit. Don't even make the mistake of thinking that you get serious when more difficult concepts are discussed, often at times it results in a vicious cycle, where you continously see every concept being discussed as below your standard. In as much as I will like to advice you to start reading as early as your premed days, please whenever you're in class, always keep your knowledge aside and pay close attention to whatever concept the lecturer is discussing, that way you will get the opportunity of adding more to your knowledge and becoming better. Seek knowledge like a hungry lion, don't ever take anything for granted in medical school.

Your style of studying: I have to talk about this because it's very clear that most medical students especially preclinical students do not know how to and what to study at any instance. The problem here is not that we don't have a good reading culture and cannot not 'jack' till day break. No, the issues pertains to the fact that we don't study smart. Earlier on this page, I shared an experience of how I studied with last anatomy and clinched a distinction in anatomy. We all need to understand that MBBS is an undergraduate degree and as such we have to make studying more appealing and realistic, not cumbersome as though we are doing PhD. Sincerely, there's no sense in reading Keith Moore or guyton cover to cover, apart from the fact that you barely have time for that, it's very difficult to retain information in such books. Your aim should be, retaining as much information as possible not filling your room with big books. Pick a single textbook that's concise and straight to the point, then kill yourself on it. Repetition is the key to knowledge, so why not choose reading ganong for a third time, when your peers are still yet to finish Guyton for the first time. Who do you think will be better of? Also, another important blunder I have seen most medical student commit, is reading too many textbooks at a time. My brother you will end up confusing yourself and burning up your energy for nothing. Sincerely, you don't need so many resources, just master one and make others your reference resources. There are other ways we learn in medical school, lectures, practical sessions, tutorials, and even online. Explore this alternatives, and don't kill your self on tons of BIG BOOKS. You should know that the best student is not he who has tons of textbooks, but he who has tons of information.

Setting goals: We should all learn this. I'm happy whenever I meet young preclinical students talking about how they want to get distinction in all the subjects. This is a very good way to kick off your medical school. Set goals, even high falutin ones. One important thing about setting goals as this is that, it keeps you on your heels always, you might not be able to acheive most of these goals at the end of the day, let say getting a distinction, but for sure you will never struggle in medical school. There's a very thin line between passing and failing in med school, unfortunately everyone is predisposed to this two spectrums. But passing becomes normal and natural, when you set goals far higher than just to pass. You will discover that when people are running helter scelter during an MBBS exams, you will calm because the worse that can happen to you is to pass.
Another aspect that you shouldn't ignore is working on these goals and bringing them into fruition. It takes great efforts, and at no time should ever deviate. Fight to the end, and you will reap the fruit of your labour.

Handling success and failure: Both success and failures could be a double edge sword, and you should be careful which edge you've choose at a particular time. Handling success in medical school is very paramount. If you mismanage your raining days, be rest assured you will plunge yourself into dry season prematurely. Whenever you do very well in a test or an exams, please learn to be humble, remain focused and fix your eyes on the price. Whatever success you acheive should act as a catalyst for more success, more like a positive feedback. But I have discovered that people often allow there success get into their heads, and you shouldn't be found in such category. Whenever you do well a test, you become popular and the next is that everyone wants to be your friend, you begin to organise tutorials, moving from pillar to post, always on the go. I'm not saying you shouldn't share your knowledge with your peers, off course you should, but don't develop short term memory as to how you arrived at your point of success. Don't abandon your books because you felt you've arrived. It will surely backfire. Handle success with care in other to acheive more sucees. Failure on the other hand should be handled with upmost care. Never dwell on your failure. When you don't get it right, forge ahead with good spirit and determination to get it right the next time. Never look back at your failure and don't ever get depressed because you failed.

Dissociate yourself from toxic people: There are this category of people that always see the negative side of everything. It will do you alot of good never to found yourself mixing up with such people. They will infect you and soon you will become like them. Discover people that see the two sides of everything, and make them your friends, if you must have any. Be with people that inspire you always, people that share similar dreams with you, that way you will enjoy medical school. More importantly, never allow people's negative opinions get to you, especially when you are doing well. People often mock excellence and excellent individuals, and you should get used to the fact that their opinions has no bearing on your life. Shame them with more success and excellence, that's their remedy.

Get involved: Finally, don't be carried away by the rigour of medical school. Get involved in other things. Broaden your knowledge.
Try sports, politics, history, art, movies. Be refreshed all the time. Because the best doctor is one who knows little about everything.

I wish you all the best.

Thank you for this. It really means a lot to me. Please, can you direct me to the page you told the story of your grabbing DISTINCTIONS in your preclinical class.... Thanks.

A friend of mine told me that UI does not allot equal marks to all the questions.

According to him,English Language, calculations in Chemistry and physics always carries higher marks.

Please, Is this True ?

And if yes,
Is there any other good English textbook I can buy to be more proficient in Use of English(and smash UI PostUTME)....apart from Inviscible Teacher ?

Very Serious and Urgent Please !

Bigboy289:
Hello guys.I av 7b's & 2c's for o level result.pls how can i score more than 300 in jamb next year to be on a save side.I want to study med & surg.But i dont know which to pick between .Ui,lasu.Unilag,oau.Pls how can i study hard .Which textbooks are the best to study for jamb:physics,chem,bio & english.Pls help me out.!!!

Choosing a school, I think, depends on factors you alone can consider: school fees, proximity, catchment, etc....

I recommend Invisible Teacher and,or A-Z in English both by Dele Ashade for Use of English.
Lamlard series for Chemistry. Make sure you take down all key points topic by topic, especially the ones that are new to you. That's what you'd revise at the die minutes.

Past questions and answers for the four, especially the ones with detailed explanation can do magic.

I wish you the BEST!

JoeNafty:

You need calculate your score based on UNIJOS modality; then compare it with previous years'. That will give you a clue on what to expect.

I scored 279 too; but I applied for BDS, UNICAL.

Presh039:
My sister did change of institution to unical last week, since Monday she has been trying to apply for the post utme , it keep saying invalid reg no, please house, what should she do at this point, please I need an urgent answer

Don't worry, she'll still register. UNICAL and other schools will update their lists so that all changes will reflect on their databases. JAMB has even instructed them to do that.

You know they got the lists during JAMB policy meeting, they'll need to refresh it.

please do u know the cut off mark for dentistry @ uniport?
scored 283

Ohh... Dear, I really don't. Maybe you search for any of their Facebook pages, some students might know.

Blackwonder:
Okay..Hello everyone,..I've written jamb more than necessary.. wrote this year and scored 263..I chose university of Jos as 1st choice & Lasu as 2nd..Course med/surgery..this issue of not getting admission has plunged me into a deep pool of depression over the years and am ignorant about school issues..no one to guide... any advice one can give to ensure I get admission this Year will be really appreciated

How about changing to Dentistry and Dental Surgery?

Most schools have the cut off mark much lower than Medicine and Surgery.

I'm for UNICAL; The cut off last year was 252-merit; Catchment and ELDS are lower.

I read this somewhere and I want to confirm.

* Please, is it true that UNIZIK is starting Dentistry?
