UNILORIN SET TO ADMIT MORE CANDIDATE THIS YEAR, ANNOUCED BY THE VICE CHANCELLOR
The University of Ilorin is determined to admit
more students in the next academic session
subject to the approval of the National
Universities Commission (NUC) for an increase in
its admission quota.
This was disclosed by the Vice-Chancellor of the
University, Prof. AbdulGaniyu Ambali (OON), last
Wednesday (March 30, 2016) while featuring on
a Radio Nigeria, Harmony FM, Idofian current
affairs programme, “Our Guest”.
For some time now, the ratio of admitted
students to the number of applicants has been a
serious concern to universities in the country,
admission seekers and their parents.
For instance, out of the more than 103, 000
candidates that applied to study in the University
of Ilorin in the 2015/2016 Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examinations (UTME), only 11, 057
could be admitted due to the low admission
quota granted the most subscribed university by
the regulatory bodies.
Fielding questions on the radio programme, Prof.
Ambali noted that the management of the
University was seriously worried that most
Nigerian youths cannot gain admission into their
choice institutions due to the low carrying
capacity of Nigerian universities.
While commenting on the rumour that the
University of Ilorin had released its cut-off marks
for the 2016/2017 admission exercise, the Vice-
Chancellor disclosed that no institution in Nigeria
will announce its cut-off mark until the Joint
Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and
the National Universities Commission (NUC)
determine the national cut-off marks.
Prof. Ambali said that the University of Ilorin
would only announce its cut-off marks after the
meeting of all tertiary education institutions in
the country with the NUC and JAMB.
He, however, warned desperate admission
seekers to be wary of scammers, as the
University of Ilorin's admission is not for sale. He
said that the University management has devised
a very stiff punishment for any of its staff that is
caught engaging in such dirty deal.
