By Promise Barisua ✨ Last Updated: September 25, 2026Competitive Universities in Nigeria, anytime I write articles on Jamb Cut of mark and Admission process, I always use the term “COMPETITIVE UNIVERSITIES“. What really are competitive Universities? Competitive Universities are those that everyone wants to gain admission into. These schools Usually have large number of applicants every year and at such difficult to gain admission into.
Apart from the fact that these schools are strict in their cut off point and admission process, there is a pride you have when you study in any of them. A student of the University of Ibadan will be proud to say, “I AM A UNILAG STUDENT”. It is good attending a school you will be proud of.
