You have done extremely well to score that high in UTME, However, start connecting with the medical undergraduates in UI on Facebook and other social media platforms you're on.
Heard the minimum you can score to stand a chance in Post UTME is 80/100 ,so you have a lot of work to do
Does anyone have UI's post utme past questions? Or rather where can i get it?

Stephaustin:

If you're planning of changing school, I suggest University of Uyo.

No post UTME and the highest cut of mark we've seen so far is 305 which was last two years. This was because of high rate of pass among students that year and it was also the same year the lowest number of students (48) were admitted against the usual 80+.

Secondly, that has been the only the merit cut off mark got up to 300; normally, it's always between 280 and 300.

So with your 315, I can say your being admitted is sure.

Moreover, I am currently a medical student there. So if you need more information, feel free to ask.
Please, how do I need reach you sir, I need to talk to you personally... Please send me your email so I can send you my number or send yours to me to my mail... justiceomodiagbe@gmail.com

Chief Mandeyy how about UNN's infamy of admitting students beyond the quota stipulated by the MDCN?

Every school does that. However, that of UNN is outrageous.

Please don't go to UNN for anything,please.
The medical school there is a complete joke.
They over admit students across all departments.
I was there last week, during their lecture hours, you will not believe that more than half of the students were outside while lectures were going on. Medical students at that.
When I made enquiry, I was told they admitted more than 400 students for a quota of 150, imagine! Don't go there, you won't learn anything.
I agree with you shaa. In that case, let him choose another school.

Transparency - 85%. Tribalism - 97%. Don't ask me how I know.
Udus MBBS is not about scores alone, there are many things attached that isn't fed to the public.
If you're from catchment - you're safe. If you're from ELD - you stand a chance. If you're from merit - then you'd fight a war to get in.
All in all what matters in Udus is your score, your state, God and maybe connections if you want MBBS.
On a simpler scale, last year merit was 280 until you apply. That 280 is just on paper, they will only admit you if you're the highest or among the highest from your state. ( assuming 10 people from Lagos or any merit state choose Udus for MBBS with scores like 340, 333, 320, 301, 298, 295, 289...) They will only admit the top 3 or 4 scorers for MBBS, the next 2 top scorers will be offered BDS ( a new programme) while others will be thrown to applied chm, MCB, etc. Don't forget the fact that all the ten aspirants had above 280 which was written on paper. That's why I said they are transparent but tribalisms is ....
But assuming you are from catchment states like Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara, Niger etc. With 270 they can literally beg you to accept the admission for MBBS. I saw people with 230, 240, 235, 250 etc offered MBBS from the core northern states (cut off mark for catchment was pegged at 230)...

There is no post utme as at now (just a good utme score and complete Olevel). Also their MBBS is kinda okay and fast too. Their class of 2015 were supposed to start their 2nd MB (Exam written at the end of 400lvl) in March before the ASUU stuffs.
Do your homework well, if you have 300+ in utme and you don't want to prepare for post utme again... You stand a good chance in Udus. Just don't be surprised if you're the only student from your state while some state have as high as 25 students.
Chief, greetings. pls I want to know if UDUS accepts DE for medicine & surgery.
Thanks.

Hello DarkPheonix,

Well done and congratulations on your result. You did great. Always thank God in everything smiley.

I am not so surprised about your Parents kicking against UNIMAID, it's normal given the prevailing circumstances in the country.

No one University is perfect. There are some schools where connections and money run the affairs viz: LAUTECH, UNIJOS, ABU, UNILAG, LASU and UI (covertly).

Now I would pick each of these schools(I know a bit about each one) and talk about them briefly to buttress.

LAUTECH: I was at Ogbomoso some seven years ago for Predegree. When admission time came I began seeing different funny things at the students affairs, because that's where the office of the admissions officer is located. You see several vehicles littered across the car lot that caters for the students affairs building. Pot-bellied lecturers going in and out. Students milling around in their numbers.

I saw deserving students even of Oyo and Osun origin shuffled to funny departments that had no correlation whatsoever with what they applied for from the onset.

I myself was offered crop and environmental protection in lieu of Medicine, when I complained the admissions officer told me blankly "Go and study Medicine in your father's state (Ondo)". I knew someone who applied for Medicine and was offered Fine and Applied art.

People getting whisked from Computer Engineering to Accounting Technology, Marketing and Transport Management. While some students who, if their scores were subtracted from mine, there would still be more than 100 difference got in for Medicine, Nursing and MLS.

LAUTECH was so porous (I don't know about now). I even helped a friend who failed his test that time. I knew one of the student leaders at that time, I explained, he told me to bring 20/25k, (I can't remember which) for upgrade. When the results and admission was released, my guy did well and was even offered Human Anatomy.

UNIJOS: I considered applying here for Dental Surgery but had to take two steps back when I started observing irregularities in their admissions process; I followed UNIJOS aspirants page on Facebook. I saw several people who merited the courses they applied for being offered something totally different. It's bewildering, really.

I have this colleague in Medicine who came from Jos to ABU. He was offered LARIS (Library and Archival Studies) in place of Medicine. Funny enough, a friend of his who he scored more than got Medicine. That school's modalities still baffles me, a lot.

ABU: ABU also has her own fair share of illogicalities, several if you asked me. How else, would one explain why someone with 250 average got Medicine and someone with 286 average was offered Physiology(with connection; I learnt about this much later). Moving a dude I know from Nursing all the way to Home Economics.

ABU also has SBRS (School of Basic and Remedial studies) students (from the 19 Northern states) to satisfy. It's complicated, honestly.

"You have to score the highest from your non-catchment state to be eligible for competitive courses", that statement only but goes so far.

I would say ABU is a matter of God's grace. A friend told me to, quoting him, "Make sure you know somebody. You know those abokis are always against Southerners blah, blah, blah". Well, I got in on the first list. I knew only God.

UNILAG:At Akoka, people pay millions to get into Medicine/Dental Surgery. Their admissions cut off mark list is more or less them fulfilling "Social righteousness" so to say.

Sure, some people would get in on merit, but how many? Is it with their style of Post UTME that seems the devil himself descended to design the model?.

Infact, I quizzed a friend who studies Medicine there now on how he prepared for their PUTME. He told me he had to buy a JAMB Government past question and several types of Current affairs pamphlets just to ace their exam.

Laudable effort, I agree. However, can you just imagine?

How about their Foundation/Diploma students? You know how much they pay? And there one is, spending at most N10,000(including registration in cafes for UTME and PUTME). One can't possibly expect them to admit one over them.

I have a neighbor whose father had to part with N700,000 for him to get a space in Law. On transit to 200L, I think they reviewed his results and found him missing Yoruba, he losed his admission. Baba took the UTME again and is currently in part 3 studying English Language. UNILAG is money and connection for the most part, if one has any of those, one is by all means good to go.

LASU: A friend's friend(who comes from Ogun State) applied there for Medicine some two years ago and heard nothing from that school up till date. He had 300+ at that time. Today, that fellow is now at Usman Danfodio University, Sokoto studying Medicine.

UI: University of Ibadan is by far the most transparent federal University in Nigeria. If you merit your admission, there's no witch or villager that would usurp what the almighty has perfected.

However, the competition. It is at UI you see Olympiad winners, Best Students at NECO and WAEC, people who have experience with A-Levels. This is where majority of them come. However, this is not to scare you, if it's Dental Surgery/Medicine at UI you want, you can by all means get it.

Now, only a few persons know UI past questions get leaked. How else can one explain a person scoring 92 in UI Post UTME. You can't just up and achieve that feat, it's the University of Ibadan.

I have a hunch those tutorial guys(Team tutors, Abadina; Apex Tutorials, Agbowo, et al.) have these questions. How do they get them? When their students go in for the PUTME, they tell them to memorize some of these questions, see, simple.

When it's time for their PUTME tutorials, I'd advice you be on campus for them, it would go a long way.

Also, the covertly aspect is this. Some students are given a sort of edge; a back door. If they fall couple of marks below the cut off mark, they are given a sort of waiver, provided the student is an offspring of and has thesame surname as a senior staff such as a Professor. I got to know about this at the UI UG-Admissions office last year when I went on enquiry for a friend.



Conclusively, all of these I have written are not an hallmark or a sort of yardstick and should not be regarded as one.

I do not know the innings of things that occur in various admissions offices across universities in Nigeria, all of the above are guesstimates.

Yet, we've got a God who can do the seemingly impossible. Do your part and do it very well.

My heart goes out to you all. It's hard, I know. You've come far and I applaud you.

Just pray, hope, follow your heart/intuition and do not be anxious for anything.

I wish you guys the very best.

Yours.


PS: Usman Danfodio recently began their Dental Surgery program. Not a lot of people know about this. You might want to do some findings.

You said it all sir. I think with this I should be able to decide what I want for myself. Thanks sir.

I scored 305 in the recent utme exams and my first choice institution is OAU. Computing my utme score and O'level grades as at now my aggregate stands at 45 and last year medicine and surgery merit cut off was 78.5. So I need a score of at least 33/40 in post utme to cover up.

Please what advice have y'all got for me? Is a score of 33/40 in OAU post utme "attainable"?

Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by Nobody: 5:41pm On Mar 21, 2020
Hello everyone, I scored 297 in utme, I chose University of Ibadan, I am from Delta state, I have seen bogus scores from UI aspirants such as 340+,330+ etc.
Moreover, 51 students from Tbose tutorials are sitting on 300+ already, one even have upto 346. I don't even know of Team tutors, I know I can score 84+ in post utme, but I don't want a situation where I am like 0.125 below cut off mark, then I will have to settle for anthropology or any other "mumu" course like that...
