It is important to note that this ranking is not a true reflection of the overall standards for each university. There are factors that will influence how highly sought-after a university is. The most important ones include:

- Ease of completing academic calendar - many candidates would want to graduate without any form of delay at an affordable cost. This explains the preference for Unilorin as this is now its main selling point.

- Geographical distribution of standard universities - There are more reputable universities in the southwest (UI, OAU, Unilag, Covenant, FUTA, Unilorin, UNAAB) than in the North (ABU) or the Southeast/Southsouth (UNN, UniBen, maybe UniZik). So this means that prospective candidates are more evenly distributed among the SW universities due to tougher competition.

-Tough entry standards - Universities that are perceived to be difficult to gain admission into will generally have lesser number of applicants than other "come as you are" universities. This explains why Havard does not have the highest number of American applicants in the US. This takes nothing away from its premium status.

In short, OAU, UI, Unilag,UNN and more recently CU are still the universities to beat in Nigeria.

At the very top, OAU and UI are the real deal.

Any argument to make yourself feel good.

I bet if your hyped up institutions were top, you'll be drooling all over this thread telling anyone who cares to listen how great those institutions are and that's why everyone wants to go there.

It's all perspective. Argument can go both ways.

Then why post here in the first place without having a link. Is naij a good source at all?

are u kidding me? Naij is one of the most reliable for news, and 90% of things post on nairaland are from naij

Nutase:
What of NSUK and KSU?

Are you a student of NSUK?

UNIZIK is 3rd on the list. It is culturally centralised though in the heart of Igbo land.

DeRay98:
There are peculiar attributes that set these 2 Unies (UNIBEN &UNILORIN) out; They are culturally centralized with little or no tribal dominance like most other schools in the country.
Cultural and language Blending is superb in UNIBEN. The only people you can't in good numbers in UNIBEN are the core Northerners who were raised in the core north (they can't cope with the academic demands of the school and the lecturers), those core northerners who grew up in the south are able to cope and fit in.
Most schools in the East are Igbo dominated and their language reigns in the air, likes schools in West, Yoruba language dominates and reigns.
Same is the story of Northern schools.
GREATEST UNIBEN!

Uniben too get mouth jare. School of the rich.

Naij isn't a reliable source of information. Vanguard, punch, Sahara desert online news are reliable. Secondly The writer of the article isn't mentioned so how do you expect me to believe it. Thirdly you didn't drop the linked addressed since you claim its 90% reliable when there's not a validity test to assert your assertions. Fourthly Jamb can deny this article

stifej:
OAU is not for every Dick, Tom and Harry, that is why the average students shy away. Only those who are sure of themselve go for OAU. To gain admission to the school no be moi-moi, so i expect the average students who made up the larger percentage of admission seekers to choose the average schools.

This is how diss starts bruv....

Tribalism has removed every sence of objectivity from you, this too is a killer disease. So in listing of reputable universities by Nigeria standards from southeast and south south you only saw unn and uniben, then unizik under maybe? Your condition is pathetic. In your list you included futa without FUTO, uniport, unical etc, anyway no need of talking too much since talk alone can't help your kind of condition, just look for babalawo to do some kind of deliverance for you it won't cost much

Of course most candidates would like to go to "hyped up" institutions. But how many of them would actually apply there as the reality, which they know, is that they may likely not make the cut. So they go for the more realistic options which translates into higher number of applicants for the lesser hyped unis. That's why they come tops in this area.

Trust me, if the union body has a way of measuring candidates' intentions regarding what they truly desire, the OAUs, Unilag and UI will take the cake.

I did my first degree in unijos, now doing a second degree in uniben and can state with all boldness that the difference is clear.

Too many hot-headed lecturers in uniben. No how you will go through uniben and your brain would not be opened, that's not possible!
That doesn't mean uj isn't good though.

Well you speak of your department at uniben but the reality is that uniben isn't what it use to be

Ilorin unilorin...standing firm in wisdom, honest and in truth...we honour your virtue.

Hehehe.......IMSU IMSU....na you big o! Only state university on the list,haters can hang themselves....proud imo star!

Those schools you mentioned are top schools in their own right but you guys can actually exalt your schools without demeaning others; that's exactly what some posters on here are doing.
The same way you rate your schools over there is the same way others do theirs.
Northerners will very much chose ABU, Unijos, BUK
Easterners, UNN, Unizik

My point; accept that top schools aren't restricted to the South Western part of the country.

That poster you quoted is very bias.

He mentioned all the universities in Southwest as examples of top schools but listed just one or two from other regions.

Talk about blatant bias just to score some cheap points.

Trust you as what The list was compiled by JAMB, once the data from credible body doesn't favor your tribe, you guys will start long epistle to discredit the body to appease your emotions, this is not mushroom bodies dominanted by your tribes men that always push out fake propagandas, the era of Lagos/Ibadan media propaganda is gone for good

Sorry, I do not engage in tribalism.

That the highest number of top rated universities is in the southwest is a fact and not a matter of opinion or sentiments.

Same way, the northern part of the country is recognized as the most educationally disadvantaged region by statistics. If I tell you that the highest number of indigenous manufacturing industries is in Anambra/Abia, that is a fact which a SW person should not take offence to.

From available statistics in research, Web presence, innovations, international competitions, quality of graduates as evidenced in the corporate and academic sphere, Unical and Uniport do not match any of the unis I mentioned. I only missed out on FUTO cos I could not remember it's name but I agree it's on the same pedestal with FUTA.

So you see, objectivity should be based on factual representations and not on some quota system which you seem to believe in.

GREATEST UNIBEN!

Saying Northerners cant cope with academic demands and lecturers in Uniben is absolute trash. What demands are you talking about? Sleeping with ladies or selling grades? Northerners are generally not attracted to Southern universities not because many cant cope but because of certain reasons. Northerners think badly of the South same way you people think badly of the North. That is the major reason you hardly find Northerners in Southern Schools. Even if u will give them free admission many will still prefer not to go.
