how many batches of admission list does a
university release per academic session,
like 2015/2016
Most importantly, please note that every
educational institution is expected to
release four different batches of admission
list, as shown below.

1. The First Batch:

The first batch, which is also known as the
first merit admission list, consists of the
names of candidates who has MOSTLY
select the educational institution as their
FIRST CHOICE institution, during the Jamb
Utme examination registration, which is
done while filling the form.
Most atimes, candidates whose names
apprec on the FIRST BATCH admission list
are candidates who has also beat the
stipulated cut-off marks by the Institution
in question.

These candidates in question can find their
nameson the JAmb official portal, before it
is uploaded by the educational institution.
2. The Second Batch:

The second batch of admission list, which
is also called the Second merit admission
list, consists of the names of candidates
who selected the institution as their First
choice institution, during their Jamb utme
registration, when filling the form.
Candidates names which appear on the
Second batch of admission list are also
known to have Surpass the FIXED cut off
marks by the Institution in question, which
is FIXED by Jamb Council.

These candidates can also find their
names on the Jamb official portal, most
times, before the admission list is uploaded
by the educational institution.
3. The Supplementary Admission List:
In lame man english, we could have called
it, the THIRD ADMISSION LIST, but that’s
not the case.

The supplementary list can also be called
the merit list, which comes after the first
and second admission lists.
However, contrary to the FIRST BATCH
ADMISSION LIST, and SECOND BATCH
ADMISSION LIST, this list in particular,
contains the names of candidates who did
not meet the cut off marks for their
selected courses, but however, did provide
an option for a new course with a lower
cut off which they meet.

The Merit list, bears 70% of the total
number of admitted persons per academic
session.

This statistics is according to JAMB.
Most atimes, the supplementary list is also
merged with the Un-merit list.
Below, we have more details regarding the
Un-merit List.

4. The Unmerit List:

This list, being the last list released by the
institution for admission, consists of
candidates who did not meet the cut-off of
the course they are admitted for(non-
merit) but surpass the general admission
cut off mark(so in some way, merit).
The Un-merit list contains lists from
several high authorities in the academic
institution.

For example.

The Educational Institution Vice-Chancellor
list.

Professor,

Staff,

Traditional Ruler,

Governors,

Senators, among other high profile
Individual quotas are contained in the Un-
merit List.

For your sole interest, most a times, the
first and second batches are combined as
one, making only 3 list.
For example.

The OAU 2015/2016) ile-ife admission list.
Some educational institution combines the
supplementary with the Non-merit list,
releasing it as one list.

Which also sum it up as three admission
list being released for that academic year.
For example, educational institution like:
University Of Nigeria Nsukka, UNN
Covenant University CU,
University Of Nnmadi Azikwe, UNIZIK,
University Of Benin, UNIBEN,
among others, do continuously keep on
releasing admission list until her
matriculation is done.

Weird right? But that is how The
Educational Tertiary Institution System do
function.

Question 2.when is the admission list
coming out or will be released?
Regarding this question, it might be quite
impossible to assimilate when any
educational institution will released her
admission list.

The only people who know or have idea
about when the admission list of various
tertiary institution will be released are the
educational institution and Jamb Officials,
Vice Chancellor’s And most time Staffs,
who has the right to release a list, when
they think it is due.

3. How Many Candidates Can This
University Admits For The 2015/2016
Academic Session?

The number of candidates which are being
admitted into the University in a particular
programme/course of study is determine
by the combined bodies responsible for the
accreditation of such programmes.
The National Universities Commission, also
known as NUC, though have the overall
control over the Number of candidates who
have being admitted in a course.
However, in strong courses like Medicine,
Nursing,

Dentistry and other related programmes,
the Medical And Dental Council of Nigeria
(MDCN) are responsible for the accredition
of programmes in the university and the
Numberof candidates to be admitted.

This factor is also dully affected by the
Number and Qualities of Facilities which is
being controlled by the educational
institution.

Which is to say that, an educational
institution with a large number working
equipments, would admit more persons
more than the number of candidates a
smaller sized institution would.

Broadly speaking, the average carrying
capacity of most Nigerian Institutions is
about 200 students per course.

Art courses do have a capacity of about
150 persons per course, since they do not
involve much practicals, if there’s any at
all.
Aside the theatre acts and others.

4. How Do I Know If I’ll Be Admitted Into
The University Of My Choice?
Luckily, if you sur-pass the Cut off mark of
your selected course in your chosen
tertiary educational institution, you are
certain to be admitted in the first batch of
admission list.

Otherwise, the Supplementary lists are for
bargain.
