Unilag slyed me on Mbbs, for DE, apart from being competitive they give preferences to their Diploma program
That’s for Direct entry applicants, Mbbs is number one most competitive course in Unilag.
That’s true
bro tim, i’ve just finished my screening but i’ve got a problem. my date of birth on my waec is quite different from that on my jamb. will it affect anything?
I have already replied you here; https://unilagadmissionguide.com/2015/11/20/20152016-unilag-orientation-programme-for-freshers-timetable/
True bro
I strongly disagree with that of Engr.. According to the cut off.. Engr ought to be the second after mbbs
Also pet and gas and ele/ele Engr had the second most nomba of applicants according to JAMB
I understand your point of view but you are only considering 2015/2016 cut offs. My compilation puts last five years in view.
you are actually weighing with numbers of applicants instead of numbers of intellects I.e with how high the scores are abeg shift engineering come down wella
True talk,infact engineering has the highest density of intellects in comparison of number of applicants with actual cutoff,infact Engr should be number one
You need to get your facts right! I know many med applicants who didn’t make the mbbs cut-off that would get into engineering with ease. Secondly, this article spoke about the competition not the number of intellects who applied.
Heyyy,Iook at what I said-density,take instance this year 7805 applied for MBBS(jamb)cutoff 70.13 take a look @ pet$gas applicants 1387cutoff 67.38,I mean look at the margin.

Confirm in any of the banks in akoka
For a 100L student, all your payments should be at Akoka for now.
Sir please will Unilag have a third list?
Thanks!!
I don’t they will have any other list again.
Engineering is the most competitive what are you guys saying….
Guy I feel insulted and downgraded by the fact u regarded the faculty of engineering as a single course please remove us from ur list if u can’t get conclusive facts
This is not about which course is better off or not, this is about which is more competitive to gain admission into based on number of students that applied for each course in the last five years.
This post is for intending applicants to help them make the right choice and strategize properly to enhance their chances of gaining admission.
This post is not intended to suits anyone’s ego.
