[quote author=kempreze post=84671539][/quote]My brother, such is life... Sometimes we have to learn the hard way, inasmuch as lesson is learnt. Bravo for your decision, only men can do such.

Masionreay:

It is only if u had tried Northern Universities that u would know that it's not easy to get admission there especially that of MBBS. The hardest is the Bayero University Kano medical school. If u are not from Kano state or the sister state, forget it. If u are an Igbo, u must be a genus ...probably the best for u to get admission into MBBS in BUK. It is easier to get MBBS in southern universities than the core Northern universities.

My brother you are not far from the truth, so many misconception from our southern brothers... I am a southerner but I live in Zaria, Kaduna State... I know what I am saying... ABU and BUK are extremely difficult for southerners, except you are a very high-flyer.
They admit just one per state, that is usually the highest person.
MBBS admission is competitive everywhere, the competition reduces in your catchment area, followed by state universities.
If to say money dey private University na him person for go. After all MBBS na MBBS irrespective of the school as long as the school is accredited by NUC and MDCN.

Donpre:
that's new... thanks for the info

You are welcome boss.

Uniport doesn't allow second choice to sit for post utme

the bolded is just the truth, second choice option is a scam

I don't know of other years but in 2019, uniport allowed second choice to sit for post utme but said they must change to first choice to be considered for admission, I don't know if they will follow same patter next year. Confirm via their website https://www.uniport.edu.ng/news/latestnews/1488-putme2019-2.html

SlaveofAllaah:



what of northern State uni?

We from the south, we have a wrong perception of Northern tertiary institution... It is very difficult for a southerner to be offered admission in a northern University especially for professional courses except by merit. By merit I mean being the highest from his state.
Due to catchment area policy of admission in Nigeria, no southern state is in the northern state catchment area and vice versa. So a person with 262 from Jigawa may be admitted to ABU yet a person with 305 from OYO may be denied admission.
Northern Universities are not easy to get as a southerner except you are a very high flyer.
As per 2nd choice school, hardly a federal University accept 2nd choice, Uniport, EBSU, ESUT and some other state schools allow second choice to sit for their post UTME but must change to first choice to be offered admission. EBSU don't do post UTME, and state schools are expensive.
My advise, focus on your first choice. State universities are less competitive and easier to get compared to federal universities but are more expensive.
If you have the finance go for state University like EBSU, no post UTME, and with a little above 250 you can get MBBS or choose a federal institution in your catchment area with a little above 290 average of both UTME and Post UTME you are in. If you chose to go outside your catchment area... To be on a safer side, gun for an average of 320.

I hope so...what was the cutoff mark for MBBS for this year??
How true is that ppl from south west are consider??
What the nature of exam?? Cbt or ppt
How many question??
And is the question the same as the jamb combination or just english and aptitude test
I will be grateful if u can provide answer to those question...

ABU don't use cut-off mark instead they use quota system... The 19 Northern states are in ABU catchment area, so every other state gets 1 slot for competitive course like MBBS, BDS, Pharmacy, Law etc.... So as a south-westerner to get MBBS in ABU, be the highest from your state and consider yourself in.
As per PUTME it is CBT... For MBBS, English 25 questions, Physics, Chemistry and Biology 15 questions each making a total of 70 questions... The question are more like Jamb too...
They mark over 400 and make use of average score for admission that is Jamb score + PUTME Score = Average score. The person with the highest average score from non-catchment area gets admitted.
In 2018, I had 288 in Jamb, 304 in PUTME, average 296, I was not admitted, I was not even offered fishery with due respect to those offering fishery.
Obviously someone from my state had a higher average than me. I am from Edo state.
So if you want MBBS in ABU get the highest average from your state and consider yourself in.

oyetunjibaba:

Please sir, I need to talk with you, here is my WhatsApp contact 07039548938, please sir please so much depends on talking with you. I await your response... Thanks

DelePhd:


The e-books are on my laptop not from any websites. However, you can visit: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Explicit-Biology/279198762134044 to follow the discussions on how to get the books. Thanks.

Please I really need the explicit biology/chemistry pdf... Here is my WhatsApp contact, 07039548938... I anticipate your prompt answer.... Thanks in anticipation.

DelePhd:
Good initiative. I strongly recommend this book to anyone writing JAMB Chemistry. No story!

Please sir, how do I get this book, I need the biology and chemistry... I reside in Zaria Kaduna state. Thanks

Good day medics in the house... Please I need a comparative analysis of EBSU MBBS and ESUT MBBS in terms of facility, quota, catchment area policy, cut-off and most especially financial implication - from acceptance fee to tuition fee, to hostel fee, to everything that has to do with money.... So much depends on this information.... Thanks in anticipation.

iaamxavier:


Can't you see you're contradicting yourself

The uploading and verification of olevel and others they did last year is called what?

Secondly this year (2019) Ebsu didn't, I repeat didn't sell any post ume form they just gave admission to those that put them at initial during jamb registration

As for last year my cousin applied for both Unizik and ebsu
Ebsu sent her a text that her admission is pending till she switched ebsu to her first choice within a stipulated period. so yes! 2nd choice were able to buy the form last year and my cousin was given admission to study MLS even as a second choice candidate but it only reflected properly when she switched it to her first choice

Pls get your facts right before arguing blindly

Please can you enlighten more about EBSU MBBS? how much is the school fees, hostel fee, acceptance fee etc... I know most state schools are generally expensive, I would love to know how expensive EBSU is.... thanks in anticipation

CentiLion:

Surpass Cut off and you are in. MBBS cut off is high everywhere, but I tink they are not are high as southern universities.

please what is the cut off mark for UNIMAID and UDSOK sir, i would appreciate your reply sir. I had 296 average last year from Edo state ABU Zaria gave me nothing.

CentiLion:

Unimaid accreditation never in doubt...UMTH is still a top notch med school despite the boko haram violence.
Udusok uses Jamb alone
Unijos uses jamb and waec but admission transparency for medicine na war.

how fair is unimaid and udusok to south southerners, what is the benchmark for MBBS

Elzak:
Yes, Unimaid is fully accredited with quota of 150.

Udusok uses jamb alone or jamb and waec.

good evening boss, i have a lot of questions to ask about Unimaid, ranging from security to admission fairness. i would appreciate if you drop your whatsapp digits so we can chat better.

Skymiyke:
Just checked the caps and nothing yet.Any Mass com applicant?

Banking and finance CAPS has changed to admission in progress... just be patient

THE NIGERIA OF OUR DREAM
To say that after 58 years of independence, Nigeria is not worth celebrating owing to the myriad of problems that has bedeviled her is to say one is critical but to understand the potentials Nigeria had at independence would be to stand up to our toes.
What are we even celebrating? That Africa's biggest oil producer contributes the 3rd largest poor people in the world (world bank, 2014); that corruption has been our lifestyle; that the acclaimed giant of Africa can't boast of steady power supply, good road network, basic and social amenities; that our electoral process is flawed with malpractices; that ballot papers get to every nook and cranny of the country but not the dividends of democracy; that 61% of the people live in absolute poverty while a microscopic few live in affluence (BBC, 2010), that 80% of the youth are unemployed or underemployed (CBN, 2014); that killing, crime, rape, kidnapping, bombing are now the order of the day, that our leaders do things with impunity, the problems are too much, I can't even mention them all.
Is this the Nigeria Obafemi Awolowo, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Tafawa Balewa, Herbert Macauly fought for? I guess not.
The Nigeria of our dream should be a country that is corruption free, where peace, justice, equity and fairness reign, where all sectors are functional, where our electoral process is free and fair, where power failure is history, where our politics is issue based, purpose driven and not partisan, where ethnic sentiment and religious bigotry is a thing of the past, where our educational system is about human capacity development and not just about getting a certificate, where foreigners come to live in and not the other way round, where everyone has a sense of responsibility, where we could sit and tell our children and grandchildren, "Nigeria is working because I played my part, you have to play yours."
The bane of the Nigeria State is that there is no dream, no documented Nigeria dream. America is a cynosure today because there is a documented American dream inculcated into every American child from birth. What is the Nigerian dream? I bet even Mr. President can't tell because there is none, even if it exist (which I doubt) it is not documented.
It is true that our leaders have messed up and don't have a dream, but someone's irresponsibility is not an excuse for yours. If we must have a better Nigeria, we have to start dreaming and believing again and work for this. We can no longer leave it at the hands of unscrupulous politicians; we must stop blaming the government, we must take responsibility, fold our sleeves and get to work. This presents us an opportunity to rediscover ourselves and identity. It is our duty and only our responsibility to take up this challenge but are we willing?
"Don't think of what your country can do for you, think of what you can do for your country," these are the words of US most loved president, John F Kennedy. I think this should be our mentality.
Building the Nigeria of our dream is a collective responsibility. Play your role and forget about weather the next person is playing theirs or not.
In the words of Mahatma Ghandi, "be the change the world (NIGERIA) need."
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE!!!

Honestly speaking, I don't know the criterion behind it. Asides from the minimum requirements of upper class.

It was this semester I realized that my mate who joined us in 200 lvl, actually graduated with upper-class HND, he applied for special admissions, he was supposed to get 300 lvl, but he got 200 lvl instead, and he's from Katsina. So yeah, I was shocked, but I saw his admission letter and know, there's no lie behind it

Thanks for your prompt response sir.

barackodam:


I dunno about other schools, but I can proudly tell you, we're one of the schools who prioritize merit most...

Yes, some people get high score and are not admitted, while others get low score and are admitted. It's a normal occurrence. All you have to do get a score higher than everyone who applied for the course in your state. Simple isn't it? But complicated also, truthfully.

You could get 257, and someone else gets 258, the person is in pole position ahead of you, someone else from another state would get 185, and is the only aspirant from his state, unarguably, the person would get admitted. Now, that's where the lamentations come.

Imagine, I got 257, and didn't get admitted, someone else got 185 and got admitted. Connection, connection, bla bla.

Those whom are from the catchment areas have higher chances of being admitted, because they can take as many as they choose, 5, 6 whatever amount.

My class for example, there are 2 Kwara students, but only 1 ogun student, only one Edo student. You get now? Those from non catchment have to battle it out for just one spot, so, someone can get 180 and get admitted, yet, you who scored 250+ may not get admitted. All you should put in your mind is, get as high as possible and try to beat everyone from your state and you'd be rest assured. Like I mentioned, they take as many as they wish from catchment states.

At 100 lvl, my class had 2 students from Kwara, civil engineering had at least 5, mechanical had about 3 or thereabouts. Civil engineering itself has about 7/8 students from Kogi, same with mechanical, but my department had just 1. So, it's not about favoritism or anything, it's about the protocol they follow, don't let anyone lie to you that they favor Hausa's more too.

Kwara, Kogi and Benue are 3 of 5 most populous students in ABU Zaria, I'm pretty sure none of them is an Hausa or Muslim state

Sir, thanks for this vivid explanation, it is really eye opening I must say. Sir, can u please enlighten me concerning Direct entry admission, since they don't write exams, what is the criteria? You can narrow it down to engineering. Thanks in anticipation.

seanfer:


Lie kill you there... In 2014 the PDP used the Military to rig Ekiti they arrested incumbent governors, Barricaded the boundary of the state with Masked Military Men... In Osun the whole Staye was flooded with Masked Armed Men... In Rivers State Amaechi and some state Governors were barred from entering the government house by a Police Commissioner on the order or GEJ’s Wife...Maybe you were too small or you don’t have access to Social media back then or you are just trying to play ignorant of everything that happened During GEJ regime...

Tinubu's house was also laid seige to by the military prior to 2015 election, don't mind them, they come here and start painting Jonathan as a saint.

very informative thread

Can One go for a BNSc degree after going through school of Nursing? If yes how many years will it take?
Thanks.

Hahnemann:
Good day great Nairalanders

I wish to study Nursing Science, but I realise that some people go to school of Nursing while some are studying nursing in university, please what is the difference and what are the advantages that one have over the other?

At what level can one reach before choosing a specialty for instance theatre Nursing?

Thanks for your reply and God bless

University nursing is a five year course and u would be awarded a Bachelor in Nursing Science (BNSc) degree, while school of nursing is a 3 year course and u get a Registered Nurse RN/RNM kind of like a diploma. in the nursing hierarchy BNSc is higher than RN.
As for specialty after BNSc, u can go for your masters in any specialty while with RN u go for a 12-18 month post basic in any of the nursing specialty. hope this helps

When will admission list be out
