God help them.
You see why I can't stop admiring UI. They admitted the exact quota indirectly reducing the competition.
Seems OAU admitted a few above the quota but it's all good.

Exactly. 5-8 above quota is still fair..

15.. 80 is outrageous

UI has a quota of 30, and that's the amount they admit. 27 from UTME, 3 from direct entry

BChD- Baccalaureaus Chirurgiae Dental
BDS - Bachelor of Dental Surgery
DDS- Doctor of Dental Surgery
DMD- Doctor of Dental Medicine


BchD and BDS are studied as undergraduate courses in some countries e.g. Nigeria. They're exactly the same, no difference

DDS and DMD are studied as graduate courses (which means one needs a BSc in a biological science course before they can proceed to study the course) in some developed countries e.g. US, Canada. They're exactly the same just different names.

Nevertheless, BDS and BChD are considered equal to DMD or DDS.


Our bosses should pls elucidate further if need be.

And others

you've said very well bro.
its just d name that differs, BDS and BChD are the same. BChD (Baccalaureate Chirugae Dentalis) is the Latin translation of BDS (Bachelor of Dental surgery).

the educational structure of USA, in particular is very different from what obtains here.

Here, you can go straight for MBBS/MBBCh, BDS/BChD for 6 years after high school and get your degree...

but there, After high school, you go to college for a bachelor's degree first (3/4yrs), before going to medical school (4yrs), which grants you a MD or a DMD . that's a total of at least 7 yrs. and 2 degrees. quite cool I'll say.

Guys!!
Let's Welcome the newest Dental student in the house, Dr. Prophylactic

Temedy:
please l don't understand something.Is their another payment receipt because I printed mine the day I made payment though I did mine in a cyber café.

No. its there just in case you need to reprint, or for the benefit of those who weren't able to print out theirs due to one issue or the other

Princesscherry:
Please I Am Seeking Admission Into Medicine At Uniport... Can Uniport Med Student Tell Me How I Can Get It On Merit? Please?

Very simple. Just beat the cutoff. I don't know the scoring format of their postume but whatever it is, aim as high as possible. You can't be denied admission if you have beaten the cutoff mark

Sokat123:
...thank u very much.hav seen it dis morning..

okay, good.

sammycranebaba:
an admission officer told me last night that we can't resume if nasu is still on strike.
We can only resume when their strike is called off
lets pray they call off the strike in time.

Schools can resume without nasu. its just that some things will not work..

Anything about school apart from lectures is operated by nasu. library, health center, laboratories, hostels, ICT, Senate and student affairs activities and so on

That's how indispensable they are to a smooth running of a school. However, lectures can continue but some basic services won't be available.

Sokat123:
...pls after paying my acceptance fee and also printing d evidence for payment, i later logged in to my portal bt d "click here to pay acceptance fee" instruction is still there...(i logged in immediately after payment so as to know if it will reflect)...hope no problem?

By saying this, i guess you paid with your card. I'll suggest you give it time, maybe it hasn't been updated. see what will happen between now and tomorrow morning.

Resumption date remains March 25, unless stated otherwise from the university management.

All direct entry students start from 200L.

For the person that mentioned something about biodata upload,
it has been there ever since we registered for postume. anything we need to do will be communicated to us.

Abeg guys, make we no work ourselves too much. what we have been asked to do, let's try to follow it. If you do as said, you'll have little or no issues. If you have, feel free to ask on the thread. Pple will help out.
if there is Any other thing to be done, we will be told. So, we shouldn't get hyper-anxious cos of what we hear anywhere.

Good evening.

Apostlenathan1:
Medical laboratory science students are also considered as medical students right

Is Jollof Rice considered a type of Rice?

Ejimajnr:
How i wish ui considered me 4 d admission .i blame myself tho 4 not scoring higher .bt i was hoping i would enjoy elds priviledge.am currently sad and dont know what to do cux i didnt register 2018 jamb.bt guys wad do u think.my course cutoff is 63 and my aggregate is 61, where as elds is 57.. .and am an elds candi kogi .am i not supposed be chanced plz reply me soon

Bro, the first thing you did that fell hands was that you didn't register for this jamb. honestly, I'm really pained.

Maybe I should explain this ELDS stuff from my own point of view.

Your course cutoff is 63. Good.

after the merit folks have been shortlisted,

they turn to ELDS.

now, there are many ELDS states.. don't know the exact number.

let me use kogi, rivers and borno in this illustration.

now, assuming 9,6 and 3 students fall into this category in order of they way I listed the states.

the highest score from each state is taken in for that course thru ELDS. maybe one or two.
so, assuming the highest score in kogi is 62, the highest in rivers is 59.5 and the highest in borno is 57. those 3 individuals will be admitted.

now, I think the school will then peg ELDS cutoff at 57, which happens to be borno's score. this signifies that nobody with less than 57 was considered for admission through ELDS.

So, you might have made more than 57, but someone was ahead of you in your own state.



to save your time, I'll advice you do A'Level programs this year: IJMB, JUPEB, Cambridge A' Level, so that you can apply for direct entry next year and meet up.

Remain blessed.

donmhedi:
Abeg who is having difficulty in paying the acceptance fee today, I tried 2 different ATM, it was showing not successful but on payment receipt it has reflected, but the has not been debited and portal is still showing click here to pay acceptance fee

give it time.. wait till tomorrow afternoon and see what will happen. if you still haven't been debited, and ur portal is still asking you to pay, then you can try again.

if you were debited and it hasn't reflected on your portal, mail or call the help desk. You can also complain at your bank too, incase the money is about to enter a snake's belly

Diamondville:
please which bank is ui using?

to receive acceptance fee? No bank account.
its through saana pay.

drRIDwest01:
Good day everyone..pls am a dental student and I av plan to do medicine after finishing my BDS coz I waana be an orthopedic surgeon.. pls is it possible ? if yes..how long will it take ?..and which Nigeria university can I do such ? thanks...pls ur urgent response is needed..

From what I've read on the thread, you can apply for a 1½ year MBBS program after you obtain your BDS. After the completion of the program, you sit for exams and when you pass, you'll be awarded the MBBS degree. however, your BDS degree will be withdrawn.

Uniben is one school I'm very sure does that conversion program. I don't know for others.

good morning

this place is dry oh

where's everybody na

medic555:
guys please respond this is troubling me

I guess its still a portal issue.
.but, try using another phone or laptop to sync your payment. use chrome or Firefox.

if this persists, call the helpline or drop a mail with the support center on the portal.

I'm sure it will be resolved soon. Just remain calm.

alternatively, you can recheck the bank u paid to ask if there has been any delay in the processing

kingtunde:
You can just do it with your ATM card. Simple and faster.
I did mine lying on my bed. I have a laptop though

yagi01:
Unilag ,there quota is 40 am a just admitted dental student also

how many students were admitted?

YoungDent:
Jeez!!! just 15?
okay thanks alot, i already registered jamb and i applied unical. which other schools do you think there quota are more?

ui-30
unilag-40(issues were raised recently about accreditation, but I don't know how far whether it has been settled, cos of the number they admit, as well as the numbers that are passed to 200L)
uniben- 25
oau- 25
the remaining schools that offer it have a quota of either 10 or 15.

olatunji21:
Allowed? By who? When and how?

psalmiel:
Cooking gas is not allowed just like Olatunji said . Only stove is allowed and I don't buy into that idea cos I'm already used to gas.

Oh.. Never knew sha.. All schools I know,( except for some private universities that do not even allow their students cook) allow the use of cooking gas in the halls of residence. It's the second choice after hotplates.

Leaves me to wonder why UI won't allow us to use hotplates and cooking gas.

screenshot from the admission portal

Stepheen:
. what of cooking gas?

very much allowed.

YoungDent:
thanks Richohm :-)
Well this is my first time of writing jamb and i would like any dental student to tell me the carrying capacity of dentistry in unical.

you're welcome bro.
yeah, UNICAL.
I have a friend there, 300L dentistry.

according to MDCN, unical quota is 15. that is, they should not graduate more than 15 dentists but they admit more than 20 though. its left to you to hustle hard.

by the way, there are other schools you can consider too. but I guess you've registered already


you're welcome once more
