If you still want to know more about these universities, I enjoin you to continue reading as I explain in details, why these are the easiest university to gain admission in Nigeria.

Reasons These Universities Are Less Competitive

Now, you would want to ask me, why is it easier to gain admission into these universities I just listed mentioned above? Well, there are many reasons why these universities are the less competitive and easiest. Listed Below are few of the reasons:

They have Considerable Less Number of Aspirants:

One of the basic reason why these universities mentioned above are less competitive is because they have considerably less number of aspirants. Thus, the truth is that universities are even looking for more students. One of the mistakes many students make is to apply for admission in those top universities in Nigeria Having too many aspirants. Well, there is actually nothing wrong applying for admission in universities like UNN, UI, UNILAG or OAU. But the truth is that if you are not very sound academically, then you can’t gain admission into those schools. So, if you are not good enough, why don’t you apply for a less competitive university that will give you admission easily.

Their departmental cut off marks are low:

Another cogent reason why it is easier to gain admission into these schools I just mentioned is because, their cut off marks are way very low. And thus, students with low cut off can still find their way in gaining admission via the university’s merit list. In my view, these are the best and less competitive universities for students who are unable to meet the required cut off marks and other admission requirements for their courses in other schools.
