FACTS ABOUT MOUAU ADMISSION In this Article I will be addressing some questions pertaining to Mouau Admission Process. To start with, Let's read this article, posted by the Former webmaster of Mouau, Obioma Kelechi Anyawu on April 11, 2013... It goes thus........ " Basically, admission at MOUAU is based on a competitive quota system. What does that mean? This simply means that during the admission process, each dept/course is allocated a certain number of student slots within the total admission quota for the entire University and these slots are competitively allocated.

CALL; 08064933665 FOR MORE Page 2 THE GENIUS SOLUTIONS FOR MOUAU PUTME AND DE SCREENING EXAMS So assuming the University has about 8,000 slots approved by NUC for a particular session, this number is divided between the Depts/courses. Soil Science, Botany, Agronomy may be given less than 100 slots each, while the more competitive Agribusiness, Microbiology, Comp Eng, Comp Science, may be given about 200 slots each. And other depts/courses in order of size and competitiveness. During the selection process, all the students who applied for each of these courses are listed according to the scores they have, in descending order. Then selection is made based on the quota allocated for that dept/course for that year. Therefore if after sorting the names a candidates name falls as the 156th person in order of score for a particular program that was allocated 120 slots, obviously such a candidate will not be admitted. Typically, applications received for the programs mentioned earlier ranges around these figures during Post UTME, Soil Science - less than 50, Botany - about 100, Agronomy - less than 30, while Agribusiness (Dept in COLMAS) - about 6,000, Microbiology -almost 2,000, Comp Eng - about 1,200, Comp Science- over 1,000, Agric Engr – about 700 - 900 etc. With the explanation above and the figures shown here, you will discover that a candidate who was not offered admission in Comp Eng, will find another candidate with the same score, being offered admission to read Agric Engineering. This is because the competition is less heated there. Equally a candidate who COMPILED BY OBIORA OKEKE AND POWERED BY THE GENIUS. CALL; 08064933665 FOR MORE Page 3 THE GENIUS SOLUTIONS FOR MOUAU PUTME AND DE SCREENING EXAMS was not offered admission to read Biochemistry, will find out that the scores of several of those admitted to read Botany/Zoology are much lower than his/hers. And when this happens such a candidate will start complaining and claiming that he/she was denied admission as a result of corruption and bribery, obviously not understanding the way the system works. I can categorically tell you that the merit admissions at MOUAU are processed 100% on merit. After the merit admissions, then comes the supplementary admissions. But many of our prospective students do not know that supplementary admission is not automatic. You need to indicate interest and apply for it. If you don't apply for Supplementary Admission at the right time, the result is that a candidate who scored lower than you, but who indicated interest and applied through the proper channels will be admitted and you still find yourself without admission and probably complaining. Frequently Asked Questions 1. WHAT DOES SUPPLEMENTARY LIST MEANS. After the regular merit admissions lists have been announced and published, successful aspirants are expected to pay the required acceptance fee within a specified time. At the end of the period, the admissions unit, takes stock of the spaces that have not been filled or taken up by paying the required acceptance fee. When the time is right, the University then calls for applications from candidates who have not yet been admitted and who wish to be offered COMPILED BY OBIORA OKEKE AND POWERED BY THE GENIUS. CALL; 08064933665 FOR MORE Page 4 THE GENIUS SOLUTIONS FOR MOUAU PUTME AND DE SCREENING EXAMS admission. The announcement usually comes with guidelines on how aspirants can apply and the particular courses/ departments that are open for applications. Sometimes the guidelines will include the average scores that may be eligible to apply for each course/department. From experience, this admission list tends to generate the longest list and largest number of aspirants being granted admission. The time frame given to receive applications is usually a very small window of time, this makes it imperative that aspirants who may wish to apply need to put their documents together in order to reduce their reaction time to the call for supplementary admission applications. (Excerpt from VNTI) You have all heard of it from the Horse’s mouth, its best not to delay when the supplementary forms are released. Wish you all the best. 2. WHAT ARE MY CHANCES OF GETTING ADMISSION WITH MY AVERAGE ? The higher your average, the better your chances of getting admission. 3. WHAT LIST WILL BE PUBLISHED Some list that would be published includes: Merit admission list, Catchment area, Educational less development state (ELDS), Pre-degree(P.D), Direct entry(D.E) and the Supplementary admission list.
