As many as 102,050 of the 114,700 prospective students who applied to the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) for the 2014/2015 academic session were not offered admissions by the institution.
The institution’s Vice-Chancellor, Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali, said only 12,650 students were able to secure admission.
Speaking
at the university’s matriculation ceremony for new students, Ambali
said only 41, 470 of the applicants scored 180 marks, which is the
minimum requirement for the post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination screening.
Almost half of that number,
22, 601, passed the Post-UTME examinations but the university only
offered admission to 12,650 of them, including 80 international
students.
"The total number of admitted students were 12, 650,” Ambali said.
11%
The
Vice Chancellor said UNILORIN's recent ratings as one of the best in
the continent and Nigeria is the reason for the high number of
applicants.
He charged the new students to obey the institution's rules and shun cultism.
