I had people who transferred from 300l at Madonna university to UNN. But instead of moving into 400l they were asked to repeat 300l that is all.
That Madonna is a rubbish school. They are always transferring away from it.

Hi Guys I'm in 300 level I'm thinking of Transferring to a public or State University from a a private uni. Is it possible and please what are the criterias





A cousin once did a transfer from a school in Switzerland to uniben. If she could do that, I see no reason you shouldn't. Just make detailed equiry from the right source and stay off the numerous fraudsters on this forum who are only too eager to defraud you.

Good evening. It is possible to transfer from a private to public university. All you need is to identify the university that is willing to accept you. The following may be very important conditions

1) Your CGPA
2) Your jamb score and Jamb Admission letter
3) Transcript
4) Availability of space. Note: Professional courses are harder to transfer into because of regulations from their professional bodies.

It depends on the university u are transferring from and the one u are going to and also ur cgpa. Most public uni won't take a cgpa less than 3.00 and above.
I don't know for state, but no federal university will accept 2.2 cgpa. You have to have a very attractive cgpa to make it fed uni. In futminna, you must have nothing less than 4.0 cgpa(2.1). They don't accept weak 2.1. I don't think it'd be worth in the end with the stress & frustration involved. Even if you make it in, you are likely to end up with poor results.

I only know of transfer from one federal university to another federal university. E.g FUTO to FUPRE .But if it is possible ,your UTME score has to be good because you can't be using your 150 in Electrical Engineering in a private institution to enter Uniben with UTME 220

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 kinda of small. This is because, most private university even overfill there quota during admission of students to 100 level, this therefore make it kinda impossible to admit extra students.
Professional regulated courses especially the medical ones are kinda of 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 kinda of an easy cake. ( Your course of study really matters). Transfer from Gregory university Mbbs to UI Mbbs is kinda impossible 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 appreciate your contribution. Though I think it would have been easier to read if you had omitted "kinda".

You can contact the admission office of any prospective state or federal university for information. In my previous life at a federal university I was involved in clearing new students. Students got into the uni either through JAMB/PUME or direct entry with OND/NCE etc.

All the best!

Re: Can I Transfer From A Private University To A Public Or State? by Lessel: 9:53pm On Sep 18, 2020
The two major requirements are:
1. O'Level result, scrutinize the requirements that you have with the requirements of the department where you are eyeing in the new University.
2. The UTME score at the point of entry. If your private University took you in with 150 UTME score but the new University takes 180 on the average, there may be problem.

CGPA can also be a matter.

Giving you this honest advice as a one time HOD in a public University. Good luck

There's no straightforward answer.

It will depend on the Institution of choice.

Institutions have various course prerequisites for each level. So a big question will be what courses have you taken so far? Are they in line with the requirements of the institution you intend to transfer to? If they are and you can sufficiently demonstrate that you meet the requirement, all you just need is a few influencers and palm greasing agent.

But I doubt that. The best you can probably get is a direct entry to 200 level. You are in 300 level so you might need to back step a year.

I'm curious though. Why do you want a transfer? Why not finish up and shoot for a masters. That's a better route to take. Worst case, you would need a Post graduate diploma. But then you can do your masters in a fed/state university if you want.

You didn't indicate if your course is a four/ five year programme.

if the former is the case, I would advise you stay out where you are and graduate from there.

However, if you chose to move, you may likely loose a year.

Most importantly, you cannot move from a lower status University to a higher status. You must a certain the accreditation status of your current university.
