Also, candidates whose state of origin is captured in the catchment area of their institution of choice according to federal government guidelines on admission, stand a better chance of securing admission into such institutions. You may wish to consider this when selecting your institution.

Pls how can I know this

Federal Universities in Nigeria and their Catchment Areas 2022

Every Federal University in Nigeria has its own Catchment Areas. The Catchment Areas of a University (note that Catchment Areas applies to only Federal Universities) are those Areas (States) that a Federal University is Geographically connected to.

In every merit admission list of every school in Nigeria, the admission list is based on three category;

- The School Merit Cutoff Mark
- Educational Less Privileged States (ELPS); and
- Catchment Areas
From the name of ELDS, I guess you already know what it means. So I will just focus on explaining what catchment area means. Catchment Area means states near a particular University.

To break it down a little bit, we can also say the geographical areas in which an institution is located.

Every Federal Government universities in Nigeria have their own catchment areas that they primarily serves.

This does not mean that the school will not admit students outside the catchment area, but the catchment areas are given special considerations.

IMPLICATIONS OF CATCHMENT AREAS?

This means that students from catchment areas get preference treatments over those from other states during admission. Note that students will still be admitted on merit but there slots reserved for students from catchment areas. They have different cut-off marks for admission and if they are met, they are admitted over applicants from other states.

Let us use the case of UNILAG as an example. The photo below shows the cut-off marks used by UNILAG for 2013/2014 admission. In there, you would see the merit cut-off marks in one column and cut-off points for applicants from catchment states. So, the fact that you have scored the required cut-off mark does not necessarily guarantee you admission. You will have to wait to see how many candidates are taken on merit and those that will come in because they are from admission catchment area/states.

Still on the UNILAG example, if you got an aggregate cut-off point of 64.88 and you are from a catchment state, you would be considered for admission. If you are not from any of the catchment areas, you have to get a cut-off make of 69.13.
