Its not true. I just contacted a close family friend who works in UI, and she said its not true. Any news as regards the admission will definitely be posted on their website. So dispel the rumour and still be on the lookout anyway, cos its close. Am anxiously waiting too.

Thanks so much. The waiting continues then...lol

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.

Latest update from UI's website.

Hi OP,

Over time, which one is announced first between the merit list and the Change of Course thing?

Annibiteye:
What's the full meaning of the course acronym LARIS

From my online search, I found out that LARIS means Department of Library and Archival Studies.

Any student on the thread can confirm this.

Vickoscatter:
oau's pre degree form registration has closed since 29th of september, or do you have any website indicating that their pre degree form is still on sale?

But that is not correct. Application for OAU Predegree programme was extended twice and it will now end October 28, 2016.

Am glad you scaled through. Congrats on crossing the cutoff hurdle. Wish you success as they release the admission list.

Thank you so much ma!

You were a huge part of the motivation and I really appreciate this.

Congratulations too. Your daughter's score is well above the cut-off mark of the course she is aspiring for.

I am very optimistic the admission list will meet our expectations.

Couver:
Send me your WhatsApp contact no

I don't think I want to post my contact here sir. I have sent a message request. Kindly check your mail to confirm.

Thanks for your understanding.

Couver:
DokitaDave and other people that made it into the Faculty of Dentistry are highly welcome to our Faculty.................The rest of you shouldn't lose hope, it's not over till it's over.

Thank you sir. I hope for a favourable admission list.

Ultimately, I look forward to meeting you in the Faculty.

adebayor1490:
Ok man, so what happens when one failed to meet the merit point but meet the ELDS? Can be admitted via merit list?

Just like I stated earlier, If you are from any of the states UI designates as its ELDS (which I am not sure about), then, you will be admitted.

NelsonObas:
guys pls am new here, wel i av checked d cut off mark on ui portal but wat i dnt understand is ELDS and the DBS u jst mentioned, pls can u tel me everytin i nid to knw abt those concepts

I think you are mixing up two entirely different things.

BDS - Bachelors of Dental Surgery. Aspirants refer to Dentistry and Dental Surgery as BDS most times.

ELDS - Educationally Less Disadvantaged States. I am not sure of those states that fall under this category for UI. However, for a school like OAU, some states outside outside the south western region are classified as ELDS e.g Kogi, Kwara, Anambra and the likes.

Hi guys, as much as i will not allow my faith to be shaken, i'll also need ur prayers...kindly remember a guy who's troubles dis yr is abt to be decided by the hundreth value of a cutoff mark.

I had 64.208333
my cutoff- 64.29


you know, am so confused and troubled right now.

I am with you brother. I pray you'll make it in. Let us remain optimistic and prayerful.

Adewhunmiiii:
No catchments cut offs? Ui oooh!

This merit law cut off amazes me. I never thought it'd be below 70 considering the candidates that chose the course... I already rendered myself useless with my 67.5. Thankful to God that I scaled through the first hurdle.

My only prayer is to make the admission list. AMEN.

UI is one of the federal schools without catchment areas. Unlike OAU, UNILAG and the rest.

Bobola07:
@shabib @dokitadave

guys how is it ova there?

Its a mixed feeling for me I must honestly confess.

Glory to almighty God. I scaled through and now expecting the admission list.

But for my fellow BDS aspirants, I understand some of you (most especially those outside the ELDS) did not meet up with the cut-off mark and it is a great concern to me.

My joy would have known no bounds if we all scaled through. However, God's perfect plan sometimes looks silly and bad to human calculations.

I encourage you not to give up on your pursuit and dream. Like I have always told myself, if he wants you to study Dentistry and at UI, no matter what, you'll achieve that.

Stay strong brothers!!!

babzenny:
hmmm.. this tension ehn.. me have seen the cut off in my dream o

Really?

You must be a prophet(ess) then.

Anyways, please see positivity.

Drops26:
please guys share your weighted scores. I scored 65.7

Hi,

In case you don't know before, there is a thread for the 2016/2017 University of Ibadan aspirants.

https://www.nairaland.com/2628478/2016-2017-university-ibadan-admission/133

Couver:
Dentistry aspirants, I hail ooo...Don't worry thing would work out in your favour. The cut off shouldn't exceed 62-67........#team BDS

Hmmmm.

Please let us pray that UI should use the lower limit...

I know for sure that all is well!

Bobola07:
lolz free the boss abeg.....
I just hope our case wont be lyk unilag...wey pple don dey bunce with 65 aggregate for MBBS...only for them to receive shocker...


But lets hope and pray for now....thats d best we can do.

But i knw this policy wont last for long. I'm pretty sure

LOL... But the 50-50 scheme of UNILAG is more busty than that of UI. Using UNILAG's to assess my results, I will be close to 70.

So, I think UI's cut-off marks would be lower.

Shabib:
Let me guess. It's 62.something. Right or wrong?
Be truthful ooo.

Sir, you are wrong and no more information from me on this until maybe after the cut-off marks are released.

Last year, results were released on the 15th September and the cut-off marks released on September 25. (10 days)

I think the cut-off marks would be out next week. I can't wait...

Bobola07:
okay, no problem Brother...i wish us all success, as we patiently await the cutoff and the list. I pray we're favoured. I dont know any other BDS aspirant. We're nt much....from jamb stat, 340 or so applied and deducting those who didnt meet 200, let me say about 300 should apply in total.

Let's keeping telling God to help our dreams.

babzenny:
72.3.. team mbbs#.. I'm so scared

I perceive you are in. Keep praying...

Shabib:
Your range is too large, bro. Reduce it.
Mine is between 60 - 64. I also have a friend that's within that range. BDS aspirants.

Hmmm... With these mega scores I am seeing, I am beginning to think that we have too many 'books' going for BDS this year. God has always been in charge anyway, so I trust Him.

You want me to slim fit it? I'll : 61.5 - 66.0

I hope that is better...

Bobola07:
well, my result was okay, i'd say i av a modest o'level, but 207; an awkward jamb score.
On aggregate, i had 64.33

what about you Bro?

Wow. That's pretty great!

Bro, I am really very sorry that I won't say my exact score here, but I will post the range: 60 - 66

Moreover, I have seen two other guys somewhere else going for BDS and you have a better score than they do. I don't know if you know any other BDS candidates too.

babzenny:
who has an idea of what mmbs cut off will be?

Let me guess based on the explanations given earlier.

73

#MyThought though. I pray it gets lower than that.

Bobola07:
yes, i'm a BDS Aspirant.

Wow... Finally!

How was your result? Just tell me the range if you ain't telling the exact score.

faizy:
all of u are just saying two weeks tym... please where exactly did ui say 2 weeks tym yiooo....

The attached screenshot was the update on the UI website before the release of the screening score.

Annibiteye:
Yeah, she was able to check it in a cafe. Exactly what we've earlier calculated. Above 70, physics science aspirant. Thanking God.

Wow!! Your daughter must be a very brilliant student.

I strongly believe her score would be more than sufficient to earn her an admission spot.

Congratulations in advance!

olatunji21:
from the result i have seen so far and in comparison to last year's result, i noticed there's mass failure across board..So i am expecting a drastical reduction in cutoff marks...
i don't expect any course to go above 70 on the maximum..

MY Verdict... (This is Purely my OWN opinion)

Lol.. Thank you!

This seems relieving and soothing.

We shall see...

olatunji21:
I would leave u to do the guessing, however i will provide a template to follow...

Alright then. Let's see what the template is all about.

Annibiteye:
same as my daughter's, can't log in, displaying invalid login

Annibiteye:
Go and check it in a cafe. you may not be able to log in using your phone, so its better and best you check it via laptop or desktop preferably in a cyber cafe. Success

Hello ma,

I assume with your comment, you've finally been able to check you daughter's score. That's good.

@olatunji21, are you a student of UI? If yes, I want you to predict (I know it is hard... Lol) what you think the cut-off marks of the following courses could be this year, based on the performances you've seen so far and the experience of knowing what competition for the limited spaces in those departments have always been.

1. MBBS
2. Dentistry and Dental Surgery
3. Nursing
4. Physiology
5. Physiotherapy
6. Biochemistry

7. Electrical and Electronics Engineering

Moreover, @all, do we have any BDS aspirant in the house?
