angiography:Don't say any thing u don't know I also know of oau. The current part one student that were admitted are just 86. There is no crossing from any department in oau to mbbs it is not allowed, there is no space for them. In this current part two set nobody was allowed to medicine and dentistry. The current part 3 set only 1 deeper life guy from micro biology was allowed to join mbbs. The current part 4 set only 1 lady and she was not the person with best cgpa but because she was chanced to know the VC. The current part 5 nobody crossed to mbbs. Slot give to oau mbbs is 100. And they most graduate more than that. Their DE candidates are not more than 10. And it includes jupeb and a level. Who tell you I don't know much about the school. See this guy This year 16 were admitted on merit into mbbs 12 from catchment 4 from elds 10 from pd. That is a total of 42. The remaining 46 will be through leg. If u want to argue i will upload the admission list. Why do you think oau don't paste their admission list on their websites for the whole world to see. They call themselves the leading ict University and u can't paste simple admission list on your website. Why do you think admission process takes oau 4 month to conclude. What are they afraid of. |

While preparing to apply to Harvard University’s PhD programme in theoretical (Mathematical) Physics in 2011, one of the basic entry requirements was to submit scores from the GRE Physics Subject Test. When I got the past question papers, I realised why I and my friend, James, were the first Nigerian to sit for the exam in a country of over 160 million citizens. There was a time I went to meet a professor to help me with some of the answers to the questions. The first thing that came out of his mouth was, “Jude, you don’t need this exam; just go do your Masters here and come and get employment in the department.” I was shocked! That was when I confirmed that some Nigerian professors are really not it. It is a known fact that professors abroad are world class. It is a norm to see a professors who had their first degrees in Chemistry, Masters in Physics and doctorate in Mathematics. Many hold Professorship in more than two different institutions (Check the profiles of Harvard’s and MIT’s lecture Culled from. http://www.punchng.com/opinion/enough-of-emphasis-on-certificates/ Cc:finestboi, lalastical |

Annually, we see our universities churn out first class graduates who are empty. What kind of research do our students do? Many even pay as high as N70,000 for a final year project with nothing tangible to learn. Today, money is the name of the game. Can any of our private universities compete with our glorified secondary schools (federal universities)? Let alone compete with institutions abroad. Many of the students in a private university paid as high as N1m as school fees but didn’t even learn what I learnt in my year two when they graduated. One of the requirements for admission into MSc/PhD programmes abroad is to write the GRE subject test; it is a 2hour 50 minutes test comprising of all a student learnt in the four years of the programme based on international standard. The physics test, for example, comprises 100 questions covering all undergraduate curriculum. Why do our graduates especially the first class we turn out annually shy away from this opportunity? Rather, they go pay millions for a Masters’ in one down town school abroad. You want to know the intellectual ability of Nigerian graduates? Give them a GRE subject test past question in their field of study! |

In our own case, there is a Joint Admissions and Matriculation Examination that only repeats questions in the annual Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination as if it has run out of ideas. These days, we see students get high scores in the UTME but whose brains are empty. There is a post-UTME exercise whose purpose of establishment has been outlived. The first problem is that we place emphasis on certificates and not knowledge. Give me and my colleagues the opportunity to set next year’s UTME questions and there would be no need for post-UTME exercise! Over 500,000 students graduate from Nigerian universities annually, yet over 80 per cent of these are mere certificate holders who have only “la cram la pour”, meaning, no need to understand. A great number have learnt nothing and thus have nothing to offer to the nation which in turn increases the astronomical rate of unemployed and confused citizens. What happens to Nigeria when a great number of the population constitutes “educated illiterates”? Our graduates are not employable because they lack the basic required skills to be marketable in the labour market. Why do all those students who get As in their O’level results not become useful in the university? Malpractice is the order of the day perpetrated by those who are so religious and bring their religious/ethnic sentiments in everything they do except when they want to perpetrate their evils. In the world of today where students abroad make history, we see our own students are more active on social media than in real life. |

OCTOBER 21, 2015 : JUDE N. ONICHA At the last count (in May 2015), Nigeria has a total of 236 universities, 42 of these are federal, 44 are state-owned while 150 are private universities. Yet, as Prof. Odiaka of the University of Ibadan observed in his article published in The PUNCH, July 29, 2015, none of them appeared in the first 2,000 universities in the recent world rankings. What have been the achievements of all these institutions? Harvard Physics department has 10 Nobel laureates in physics while the whole of Africa has none. The recent noise on the admission process in the country made me write this piece. It is a known fact that to get admitted into the best schools in the United States, a student needs score high on the GRE/GMAT/SAT test, provide 2/3 formidable letters of recommendations, a detailed resume, statement of objective etc. With all this, most students get admitted into their desired programme with total scholarship. This process not only ensures that the very best get admitted but “only those who have got interest in academics” go in. In turn, their graduates are innovators, world changers, entrepreneurs, billionaires etc |

Atogirl:u don't seem to get it or u saying the wrong thing how can u compare gp with jamb score. Utme is an exam of 3hrs while cgpa is an accumulation of what u have for the past 4 to 5 years. Mind u in lasu post utme just cram the whole of jamb past question u are good to go. Even candidates have realized that the last 4 utme is a repetition of utme past questions. Almost all post utme conducted in lasu uniben and d rest are repetition of jamb past questions. So what are we saying |
| Education / Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by Vcojuro: 10:52am On Oct 21, 2015 |
Atogirl:story for the gods. What I know is that if u have 278 in jamb . then u should have similar in Post-UTME. It Is simple maths abi house. Why were people protesting last year and last two years as regard their jamb result. I have given u 20 examples of this year analysis of ui admission and u are still saying it is rare. Do u want me to give u another analysis of last year ui post jamb. In fact I know a lot of average guys that had 270+ in jamb but flop in post UTME. It is very simple u said u had 278 in jamb then come and defend urself in Post-UTME. 2+2 should be 4 not 2 or 3 1 Like |

RoastedCorn:guy why do you speak like this and u are saying u are a medical student. It seems u are not a medical student of which u claim to be. it is known that in medical school it is not about how brilliant or intelligent u are but all about smartness. Or do u think that Ben Carson was the best in his set. Infact today medical consultants were not the best in their set. Can u explain to me why three guys that exceeded the cuttoff in oau mbbs. The three guys had resit. U stay there and continue to say he paid 300K in oou U will see who has the last say. There are doctors that finished from state universities and they are doing their residency in oau and ui. Forget all the shit about mbbs. Mbbs is mbbs once u are accredited by mdcn. Forget all those fine buildings and structures believe me Mdcn does not care. I represent ui mbbs 8 Likes 2 Shares |

I will be an advocate of the ui admission system. Take it or leave it. Their mbbs is the most transparent in admission. No wonder they have the best medical school in Nigeria. And produces one of the best medical personal. Shout out to the world admission into ui medicine is the best. just have 200 in jamb and u are good to go 2 Likes |

simba1:can u explain why the guy that had the highest post jamb score had 256 in jamb and he had 86 can u explain that. Can u explain why last year a girl called Ajari Esther she won medals in cow bell competition, nnpc quiz, Olympiad competition, she had distinction throughout she is is well known in Nigeria, she had 238 in UTME and 88 in post utme can u explain that. I know of 15 friends that had 278, 275,276,284,282,277,and other 270+ score but had 71 68, 69,65 even50+ can u explain that. Can explain to me why a guy that had277 265 283 and 266 all heard the same score of 74 and mbbs cutt off was 74. Infact I know of 30 guys that had 270 and 280 but had 60+ can u explain that. Boss forget about that we know utme and we know how they award scores. A guy that had had 278 should be able to defend his jamb score by having such in post jamb. |

RoastedCorn:Guy read my early post. I said 70 percent of the candidates admitted to faculty are either of the 3 aforementioned group. I didn't say all. The chances of a jambite getting it at one shot is very slim ask any oau student. And mind u getting 293 as aggregate does not mean he is a guru. It has been recorded that 90 percent of the best graduating students in oau didn't have high scores in their jamb and post jamb. Oau post jamb is all about smartness. Reading the right materials and not reading through jamb syllabus. And when I mean the right material I mean predegree notes and some part 1 note. Take it I or leave it. And mind u most jambites that got it have attempted oau post jamb not once but twice or three times 1 Like |

angiography:ui has a quota of 180 for mbbs But they don't admit more than 160 for undergraduate. 10-15 will come in through supplementary list. While the remaining will come in through DE and a level |

UI method of admission into mbbs is the best Take it or leave it. Just have 200 in jamb and come for post UTME. Ui use only post UTME score in determining cuttoff for mbbs They don't allow their undergraduates student to partake in the post-UTME , they don't have predegree program. So ur chances of admission is very high |
| Education / Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by Vcojuro: 6:34pm On Oct 20, 2015 |
They look at the first 25 and use it to set their cut off
Don't let ANYBODY DECEIVE you |

You see the 287 that was brought out is a charade and a fallacy. I am on campus and I know what is going on how many candidates had an aggregate of 287 |

I know of a guy that has been chasing oau mbbs for 5yrs and was not given Everytime the difference between his cuttoff and the merit cuttoff is always 1 or 2 they do tell him to work harder This year he decided to go for ui and he was admitted he had 76. WISE UP |
| Education / Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by Vcojuro: 6:22pm On Oct 20, 2015 |
dearpiriye:yes others have made it but they are not many and it take them longer time to secure mbbs than if they had applied for ui. |
| Education / Re: The medical students and aspirants thread by Vcojuro: 6:19pm On Oct 20, 2015 |
During clearance I saw a candidate that had 236 in jamb and another had 205 in jamb both had 76 And me that had had 266 in jamb had 74 Ui gives u a level playing ground Everybody is assured of fairness in d admission process especially for mbbs 1 Like |

I pity those who wants to kill themselves all because of oau Imagine yourself competing with the guy I said is In part 2 pharmacy, Then competing with lecturer children that have assured of mbbs admission. Competing withPredegree students where some of the questions set in the post-UTME are examples taught in class. Then finally competing with their undergraduate students |
