There are lot of courses in Nigerian universities but some are more competitive than the other.
How do I know they are competitive? Simple! Take a look at the previous years cut off marks and
You will know what I’m talking about.

Below are the list of competitive courses in Nigeria starting from the least course ;

10. BIOCHEMISTRY

This course is competitive, a lot of candidate prefer to choose this course, why?
Just because they think they can cross over to medicine, Now you see why it is included.

9. COMPUTER SCIENCE

It is now longer a news that we are in the “computer world”.Candidate
choose this course because they believe that there are a lot of opportunities for the courses.

8. ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING

Everybody want to become an engineer one way or the other . As the world is moving fast, so as technology. A lot of opportunity are in engineering, sincerely.

7.POLITICAL SCIENCE

We all know what is going on in Nigeria politics, I should notbe telling you.
Everyboody want to play politics one way or the other. In Nigeria, there are a lot of opportunities
For those who know who (connections).

6. NURSING

Nurse, Nurse! The title sounds good to the ear right? Yeah. Most female candidates will fill in
for nursing , like 60% of them. Nursing is a good course in Nigeria. You don’t have to look for job before
you see one.

5. DENTITSRY AND DENTAL SURGERY :

Due to the limited slot to this course in universities, There is high competition . What do i mean? For example OAU admit only 25 student in this course, UI admit only 40 while some other school admit 10 candidate. Now you should know for yourself.

4. AGRICULTURE

Lately, there have been rise in the cut off mark of any agriculture related courses which means that the number of students applying for these courses are increasing year after year.

3. PETROCHEMICAL ENGINEERING

Everybody wants to work in CHEVRON, NNPC and so on, why? Maybe because of the huge salary and allowances since that is what students pursue. As a result of this, high number of students applyfor this course.

2. LAW

We all what law means. It makes you a lawyer. 90% of art students apply for this course year after year. Maybe because of the respect they earn from people, I just don’t know.


1. MEDICINE & SURGERY

80% of the science students waqnt tobecome doctors maybe becausetheir parents wants them to be, or maybe because of the respect and honour in the course. It shouldn’t be new to you anymore that medicine have the medicine have the highest cut off mark which means it is competitive.

Bloggers always trying to push trafficking with same olé rancid stuff. Well maybe mine is a case of a prophet not being honoured in his home buh having gone through the medical school, I look back and realise that a whole lotsa courses and disciplines are actually more competitive.
Take Software engineering and Engineering as a whole, they earn my respect anytime , any day.
Bottom line: In whatever you do, compete against yourself, then your discipline would be the most competitive.

I beg to disagree. Top 10 most competitive courses in Nigeria, from top to least should look like:

1.Medicine & Surgery

2. Electrical & Electronics Engineering

3. Law

4. Accounting

5. Pharmacy

6. Economics

7. Computer Science

8. Architecture

9. Civil Engineering

10. Chemical/Petroleum Engineering

ok

Here we go again.
Agriculture, nursing and biochemistry are now more competetive that Pharmacy.
Meanwhile where I graduated from, people fail out of pharmacy school and are readily accepted in Biochemistry where they even end up graduting with 2.1
Well, like I said before here we go again

Accounting is not on the list? you are OYO

the only competitive course on the list is number 7
