University of Lagos, UNILAG is known for providing a conducive environment for teaching, learning, research, and development where staff and students will interact and compete effectively with other counterparts globally.
One interesting thing about UNILAG admission is that it is transparent and totally on merit. Gaining admission into the institution is not an easy job; hard work is required in order to be offered admission into your desired course.
Because of the name the university has made for itself, the school has become everybody’s dream university in Nigeria. The first thing you have to do is to count the cost before you fill it in your JAMB form. If you desire to study in UNILAG you must be well prepared and have what it takes to secure admission into the school.

University of Lagos
This is one of the institutions that students like to choose as their first choice to study Medicine and Surgery, Nursing, Pharmacy, Electrical engineering, Mechanical engineering, Civil engineering, etc. According to a statistic released by JAMB in 2012, UNILAG is the first preferred institution in Nigeria by JAMB applicants.
Because of the reason above, it is important that your WASSCE/NECO/GCE results be relatively okay and you must have a good JAMB score.
