As JAMB has
commenced
the posting of
candidates to
schools
(which can be
termed
provisional admissions), any curious mind will not
help but wonder the criteria used for these
postings.
Yes! It’s obvious that the schools you selected
as your choices during JAMB registration is part
of the criteria. However, in previous years,
there’s what is called departmental cut-off marks
for schools.
Each school has its own cut-off mark for a
particular course or department depending on
the competitiveness of such course/department.
For instance, you can’t expect the cut off mark
for Microbiology to be the same with that of
Medicine and Surgery in a school like UNIBEN or
expect a course like Petroleum Engineering to be
180 ordinarily.
The question now is, does JAMB put this factor
into consideration in posting candidates to the
different schools?
If yes is the answer, it means each of the
tertiary institutions has to send departmental cut-
off marks to JAMB which JAMB is to use to
determine the candidates that qualify for a
particular course in a given institution.
If that is the case, there’s tendency that JAMB
will not post candidates who do not meet the
required cut-off marks to study their selected
courses in their choice institutions but rather
may push them to other related courses/
departments that can accommodate their scores
in such institution.
Another questions is, what happens if there are
no other related courses/departments in such
institution that can accommodate such
candidate? I think your guess is as good as
mine.
This may also be the reason why many
candidates are yet to see their admission
postings since it will apparently take additional
time to plan the redistribution of candidates, who
do not meet the departmental cut-off marks to
study their choice courses to other related
courses/departments.
I was just thinking this aloud and decided to put
it in writing to know your views. So, what do you
think?

Recently, the governor of Osun state sacked resident doctors because 'they had spent more than six years' at the LAUTECH teaching hospital Osogbo. The thing is I had a different idea of what residency is all about but based on the development, I'm confused. Someone should explain residency in relation to medicine in Nigeria.
Is residency a job?
If it is a job, is it temporary?
Are residents, doctors?
What are prospects of residency in Nigeria?

She would've been alive if she saved enough money and had those kids in south-africa or europe.
Its common knowledge that the only thing most Nigerian medical practitioners can diagnose is malaria and typhoid. Even at that, the chances of getting wrongly diagnosed is still high.

Rest in peace!!!
