The difficulties encountered in securing admission does not only affect
young Nigerians, but also others, both young and old who aspire to be
admitted into universities, polytechnics and colleges of education in
Nigeria.
• There are so many Universities, Polytechnics, etc in Nigeria. So why are many candidates missing out in the race at the end of the day? the number one answer to this is "Lack of Statistical information about candidates' school of choice and course of choice" Don't get it yet? Alright. Now, before you applied to study that course at that university how many candidates have already applied for the same course at that particular university? How many other available universities offer your course of choice? Would you still go on to apply in a situation whereby more than eight thousand applications have been recorded in your department of choice whereas there are more than ten other good universities that offer the same course but still having moderated application index like 703, 1,200, 2,450, 900, 1,346, etc?

Now let's take three major courses, Medicine and surgery, Law, and Electrical Engineering as key study on this issue.
This is 2015 academic session. But do you know that as of today, based on JAMB Course Statistic that 8,775 (eight thousand, seven hundred and seventy five) candidates have already applied for Medicine and surgery at the University of Ilorin,; 7,531 (Seven thousand fivehundred and thirty one) at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka(UNN)? This number is increasing everyday as new candidates still channel their application to this universities and few others with very high application index. Nothing wrong with that? Have you seen any university in Nigeria that admitted more than 3,000 candidates in a particular department after conducting their Post-UTME?
Now let's briefly analyze this case. From my research, there are more than 16 (sixteen) accredited universities in Nigeria that offer medicine and surgery, Law and Electrical Engineering. Out of this number, not less than 12 (twelve) do well in this field.
Now consider the list below; it covers today's course statistic of some good universities that offer medicine and surgery, Law and Electrical Engineering, and then tell me why you should consider trying your luck at a university that already has thousands of application in your department of choice whereas there other nice universities that can easily accommodate you.
University of Nigeria, Nsukka- 7,531 (Medicine and Surgery); 4,274 (Law);
University of Lagos- 4,972 (Medicine and Surgery); 3,388 (Law); 794 (Electrical Engineering)
University of Port Harcourt- 3,981(Medicine and Surgery); 446 (Electrical Engineering)
University of llorin- 8,775 (Medicine and Surgery); 3,231 (Law); 1,279 (Electrical/Electronics Engineering)
University of Ibadan- 6,600 (Medicine and Surgery); 2,674 (Law); 723(Electrical Engineering)
Delta state university Abraka- 1,972 (Medicine and Surgery); 1,257 (Law); (Electrical Engineering not offered this year )
Anambra State University- 442 (Medicine and Surgery); 466 (Law); 172 (Electrical Engineering)
Niger delta university- 1,78 (Medicine and Surgery); 1,27 (Law); 100 (Electrical Engineering)
Ahmadu bello university Zaria- 7,96 (Medicine and Surgery); 2,59 (Law); 1,72(Electrical Engineering)
Obafemi awolowo university- 4,74 (Medicine and Surgery); 2,784 (Law); 609 (Electrical/Electronics Engineering)
Ambrose Alli University Ekpoma- 1,876 (Medicine and Surgery); 1,694 (Law); 574 (Electrical/Electronics Engineering)
etc

Meanwhile, There are also many 'rich men pikin schools'
(Private Universities) out there that offer these courses that still have low application index.
Note: under Electrical/Electronics Engineering students will later be split to either department. So don't be afraid of the index if high. You can check your course statistics by visiting www.jamb.org.ng and then follow the step on the image below.
So, how far about that? Still bent on adding to the application index of Universities that have already recorded more thousands of application while you have better chances of gaining admission into other available universities? I don't think so, unless you are playing dice with you career.
Note well that the high level of application recorded in some universities above is not because they are the best in teaching these courses, rather because they are popular among O-level school leavers and even other prospective students. Therefore, try to check the course statistics of universities before you apply; Make hay while the sun shines!
Small assignment: University of Benin was not included in the list above; check its course statistics.
• Now, another serious cause of massive lose in the admission race by young Nigerians is one very popular problem among young Nigerians, which is "Poor Reading Habit". The use of Computer Based Test (CBT) is now compulsory for all UTME candidates this 2015. CBT has more malpractice checking capability which has handicapped many UTME candidates, resulting to mass failure after the exercise.
Since the advent of smart-phones and other electronic gadget many young Nigerians tend to stick to these things more than study! "in fact de don use am pas oyibo way produce am
"..........well, no need of prolonging the issue; Just read this time or fail!
• Another heart braking and well known cause of the difficulties encountered by many innocent Nigerians in gaining admission is the "Corruption that runs in the veins of many universities, polytechnics, colleges of education, etc" the system is down! Departmental cut off marks are nolonger published, which gives them room to give admission to any person they prefer whether merited or not; they can even deny admission to a qualified candidate; you can't question them because there is now way you can tell is you are qualified or not! Some universities now advertise on the internet many courses they don't even offer; is that not a criminal act? Agencies that have the obligation to handle these issues should please go back to work.

THE END (For others; UTME candidates should continue reading)
• Are you a candidate sitting for this 2015 UTME? Okay! Now listen,
you are going there to sit for real business not just exam! the
examination hall is not your father's parlor, it is not a fast-food
joint for crying out loud 
!
you are not going there to do 'shakara' you are going there to pass the
exam! forget about 'big girl or big boy'. If you about answering any
question and you find it difficult, just ask your neighbours when the
supervisor is not watching 
!
the exam only last for a day, so do your best to do well that very day
(but no expo oh! I mean am oh!). Don't sit there saying "I'm shy oh!;
I'm they shy type" really? you are the shy type? Sit down my friend; go
and tell that to 'Amadioha', the gods and not me! Be agile! Be fast!
don't just sit there checking if the lipstick you applied is still there
or if your sagged trouser is still intact. Concentrate and write the
exam!
• Finally, do your best and leave the rest for God!
Readers can also contribute other factors they think are the causes of these difficulties encountered in gaining admission here in Nigeria; it will be highly welcomed! Tnx!
