Top 30 Most Competitive Postgraduate Courses in 2016/2017 Unilag Admission


The Unilag admission process for last year has come and gone, both the merit list and the supplementary list has been released and students are done with registration and started lectures intensely.

But the admission exercise left with loads of information that students of data can gain from and make forecasts for the future.

One of such data is the competition level of each course.
the number of people that applied for each courses, the money made by unilag from sales of forms, the weak courses, the dying courses, the courses for the future, the money courses, the trending courses and many more...

In this post, I will just cover one of such, which is the top competitive courses.


The heat is catching on as Many applicants are just waking up...
calling and asking

"Pls sir, when will Unilag Pg 2017 form come out?"

First week in June, I always reply.


However,


The purpose of this post is 3-fold

1. chose your course wisely
2. Know your competition
3. Strategize


As an MBA graduate, I know the import of STRATEGY.

To win in the marketplace you must KNOW YOUR COMPETITION.

below are the top 30 most competitive courses last year 2016.


How to calculate the competition 


The numbers attached to each course below is the official number of candidates admitted by each department.

Admission ratio to competition is 1:10.

To calculate the estimated number of people that applied;

multiplied the admitted number by 10 = Total Number of people that applied for your course.



An Example 

MBA admitted 659 people last session.
to calculate the competition

659 x 10 = 6,590 applications.

that means at least 6,590 people applied for MBA last year 2016/2017 session.

multiply that by N22,500 will give N148,275,000


That means Unilag made roughly N149 million
from sales of MBA application forms

Now, when I tell people there is money in Education - that is my proof there.
Anyway, that is story for another day.


Now look for your course below and find out your competition just multiply numbers admitted by 10 that will give you a fair gauge of your competition and start preparing.

Dont let Unilag use your N22,500 for popping champagne or planting flowers


enjoy!
