MOUAU Admission Quota System And How To Calculate Admission Quota For MOUAU Aspirants

The quota system of admission into the Michael Okpara University of Agricultural Umudike is real, and this is simply because MOUAU is one of the federal universities in Nigeria.

If you want to gain admission into the Michael Okpara University of Agricultural Umudike, you need to understand how the admission quota is being calculated so that you can prepare yourself very well.

According to the information available on the official JAMB website as at the time of publishing this post, the admission quota for the Michael Okpara University of Agricultural Umudike is divided into three.

In this post you will see how the admission quota for MOUAU is calculated and what you should be preparing for in your admission exercise.

MOUAU admission quota analysis

NOTE: The quota as seen on the JAMB official website are as follows:

  1. 45% by merit
  2. 35% by catchment area
  3. 20% by educationally less developed states (ELDS)

See The Analysis Below.

Assuming fifteen thousand candidates (15,000) choose MOUAU in UTME, and eight thousand (8,000) candidates score above MOUAU UTME cut off marks, then the school will conduct post UTME screening for the 8,000 candidates.

Let’s say [INSTITUTION] pegs their post UTME cut off mark at 40, and only has the capacity to admit 4500 candidates.

If 5000 candidates pass the post UTME out of the 8,000 candidates, then the quota will be calculated as follows.

Quota by Merit: Admission by merit is awarded to candidates with the highest performance in UTME and the school’s post UTME screening (if any) plus any other requirements specified by the school’s board.

So, from the figures above, the merit quota will be:

45 x 4500 / 100

= 2,025 candidates.

These 2,025 will be admitted strictly based on merit.

Quota by catchment area (Indigene): Admission by catchment area is strictly for the indigene of [state where the institution is situated] and it makes up 35% of the total number of candidates to be admitted.

Let’s do the calculation.

35 x 4500 / 100

= 1,575

= 1,575 candidates will be considered for admission based on catchment area.

Quota by state category (Educationally less developed state). This quota is reserved to candidates from some selected states in Nigeria, and it makes up 20% of the total candidates to be admitted.

20 x 4500 / 100

= 900

900 candidates will be considered for admission based on ELDS (Educationally Less Developed States).

States that fall under the “educationally less developed states”.

Twenty-three (23) states of the federation have been identified as Educationally Less Developed States (ELDS). These states are Adamawa, Bauchi, Bayelsa, Benue, Borno, Cross River, Ebonyi, Gombe, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Kogi, Kwara, Nasarawa, Niger, Plateau, Rivers, Sokoto, Taraba, Yobe and Zamfara.

Conclusion.

The analysis above is to help you understand how the quotas are shared. The figures are only formulated so that you can understand the calculation. If you observe something different from this analysis, kindly share it with us in the forum by clicking here.
