The department of Medicine and Surgery, for example, which usually admits 130 to 150 students had 11,146 applications while the Faculty of Law with an admission quota of about 200 received 6,560 applications.
Data released by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) shows that 65, 954 first choice candidates will be writing the University of Nigeria, Nsukka’s 2016/2017 academic session aptitude test.
That would generate about N330,000,000 million for an institution that charges N5,000 administrative fee per individual candidate for the test.
But the university cannot admit more than 9,000 applicants in all its programmes.
An administrative staff member at the university said “It is an impossibility to assume that all the candidates will be admitted.”
