1. Most Sought-After
Courses in Nigerian
Universities

2. Application for the 2014/2015 Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examination (UTME) conducted by the
Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) ended
in March 2014, over 1.6 million candidates selected
their preferred choice of course, with the expectation
that they have their admission hope met.
In past UTME, candidates can select two (2) courses
(first and second choice) from each Institution,
however for this UTME2014/2015 candidates are only
able to select a course from each University,
Polytechnics / Monotechnics, Colleges of Education,
Innovative Enterprise Institutions. In all, a candidate
selects 4 courses and can only be admitted in one.

3. This analysis is carried out to establish:
 The most sought-after course in each
tertiary institution category
 Likely change in choice of career among
candidates from 2011/2012 till date
 Institutions with most sought-after courses;
Federal, State and Private universities
 Some career guidance for prospective
Candidates on their choice of careers
Review will cover from UTME for 2011/2012 – 2014/2015 academic sessions

5. University
According to the 2014/15 Joint Admission and Matriculation Board,
there are over 600 courses in Nigerian Universities. While some enjoy
great patronage by students, majority are embraced but for the
failure of being considered for admission for the preferred choice.

Board, Below are the respective faculties for which
Candidates can seek admission into:

9. Most Sought-After Course – Medicine & Surgery
A total of 285,076 candidates applied for
courses in Faculty of Medicine; Medicine
& Surgery received 142,474 applications,
this is 50% of total applicants in this
Faculty. Nursing, Pharmacy, Medical
Laboratory Science, and Radiography
received 22.7%, 12.2%, 8.5% and 1.3% of
total applicants respectively.
Medicine & Surgery, Nursing, Pharmacy, Medical
Laboratory Science, Radiography, Dentistry &
Dental Surgery, Veterinary Medicine, Physiology,
Anatomy, Public Health Technology, Medical
Rehabilitation, Physiotherapy, Optometry,
Medical Biochemistry, Human Nutrition &
Dietetics, Human Anatomy, Biochemistry,
Biomedical Technology, Pharmacology &
Therapeutics, Pharmacology, Medical
Radiography & Radiological Science, Nutrition &
Consumers Services, Veterinary Science.
This accounted for one of the reasons why there is low (less than
5%) admission rate for Medicine & Surgery. Even though it is the
most preferred choice among Science students, there are just 46
Universities (Federal -21, State -18, Private -7) where Medicine &
Surgery are listed. Ironically, the Health Index of Nigeria is at
extreme low (Global Competitive Index ranks Nigeria Health and
Primary Education 146 of 148 Countries) and Life Expectancy at
about 47years.

15. Trend of Most Sought-After Courses & DestinationUTME Applications 2011/12 – 2014/15
 UNILORIN is the preferred destination for Accounting, Business
Administration, and Computer Science
 FUTO is preferred for Mechanical, Electrical, and Civil Engineering
 UNN is preferred for Nursing Science
 UNIBEN is preferred for Law
 UNIZIK is preferred for Medical Laboratory Science
 BENSU is preferred for Sociology
Other courses like Medicine and Surgery, Economics, Pharmacy,
Political Science, Biochemistry, Banking & Finance, etc. could not be
specifically traced to individual institutions; for instance, a course like
Medicine & Surgery had no singular preferred destination as top
spot were shared among ABU, UNN, UNIBEN, and UNILORIN.
However, a wild guess would be to consider affiliate courses such as
Pharmacy, Nursing, Microbiology & Biochemistry; whichever of the
Institutions have them as preferred can be inferred to be a
destination choice.

32. GUIDANCE FOR PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATES
Like sought-after institutions; admission into sought-after courses is
also very competitive. By implication, it means graduates of such
courses will be in high supply.
In Economics; the higher the Supply of an item (in this case careers),
the lower the Price of the item (the lower the remuneration –
jobs/salary or services). While this is not to discourage people from
following their dreams, it is to let you know the implication of taking
after such courses/career without distinctive expertise.
If you are good at what you do, and can go some extra miles to
provide exceptional service, there is a very high probability that you
will be preferred among your equals. Excellence beats all forms of
competition. If you are excellent at your career, you will be sought-
after.
Excellence beats all forms of competition. If you are
excellent at your career, you will be sought-after
