MOST PREFERRED / SOUGHT AFTER COURSES IN NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES / POLYTECHNICS

It's noteworthy to see here that the third and the highest level of tertiary education in Nigeria is the University, followed by Polytechnics among others. However, the pressing issue we want to discuss here today, is that although there are hundreds of courses available for students to choose from, most students go for popular courses which we will be listing below in a short while. We think that it's important you note that there are presently 124 universities with Federal government controlling 37 universities and the state government controlling 37 universities, while the Private sector controls 50.

In total, all aspirants have a choice to choose over 570 courses from each courses, which are most times, categorized into Faculties.

However, the truth about these courses is that there are some courses that have enjoyed consistent preference. We have seen where majority of students choose these courses.
We drawing this date from what JAMB aspirants have used in their course choices in both the JAMB 2013 and jamb utme 2014 to show some of these courses.

These obviously would help those still in Secondary schools and future JAMB applicants know how competitive a course is before finally locking their choice down on it, however, let let the number of competitors or applicants in a course stop you from going into it. Because you're better than most, if not all. The choice is yours.
From my findings; Medicine & Surgery is the most sought-after course in the whole of Nigeria universities.

Also, out of the whole 124 universities; only 35 offer Medicine & Surgery, 16 Federal, 14 State and 4 Private universities respectively.
