Meel: After spending 3 years in a crisis ridden state owned university I transferred to a private university and I know so many of our colleagues that were admitted to a federal university ( Funaab to be precise). The fact is that no one can categorically tell you the perquisite , except the institution you are transferring to. But here are some things to consider You are moving from a place which is less competitive ( private university) to a highly competitive university. So therefore the odds are small. This is because, most public university even overfill there quota during admission of students to 100 level, this therefore make it impossible to admit extra students. Professional regulated courses especially the medical ones are the toughest. Here regular students are being weeded every session, so the department wouldn't want an extra baggage. Other courses regulated only by NUC are just easy cake. ( Your course of study really matters). Transfer from Gregory university Mbbs to UI Mbbs has a rare chance of occurring if not impossible but you will have high chance of transferring from Landmark university agriculture Department to Eksu agriculture Department.
It's hard not impossible, this is Nigeria in which anything can happen. But before you embark on this journey let me ask this question, which influencial staff do you know and really ready to russle it out for you??
To round it up, 3 things really matters, who you know( Buhari fit order Idowu olayinka Ui vc to admit you into any department), your course of study(e.g education courses are rarely filled up, they won't mind), and the institution you're going to. I'm currently a student of OAU, just finished 100lvl with a reasonably okay GP, I want to know if I can transfer to a private University |
