The document analyzes application data from the 2015 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) in Nigeria. It shows that 1,475,513 candidates applied to 126 universities in Nigeria but the university system can only accommodate about 30% of applicants. The University of Ilorin received the most applications for the second consecutive year at 107,488. Medicine and Surgery was the most popular course of study, while Economics, Accounting, Business Administration, and Mass Communication were also among the most sought after. The analysis also breaks down applicant numbers and ratios by school ownership type, region, and state.
Utme2015 analysis of applications
- 2. Analysis of Candidates’ choice by: OBJECTIVE SCHOOL COURSE OF STUDY STATE School - Institution which Candidates applied to. Course of Study – Course which Candidates applied to study. State – Location of the school candidates applied to.
- 3. SCHOOL OWNER TOTAL Federal 40 Private 48 State 38 TOTAL 126 Schools in Nigeria are owned or managed by Federal government, State government or Private organizations. In the 2015 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), Candidates applied to a total of 126 Universities. 1,475,513 (1.4755m) Candidates applied to study in different Universities in Nigeria. However, it is on record that the Nigerian university system has a carrying capacity of a little above 530,000 Students. This implies that the System can only accommodate just about 30% of all these Candidates. It is however not established if this is why this year records the lowest application in five years.

- 13. STATE – Location of School The choice of where to study sometimes is as a result of Location. For proper planning and administration of resources – both human and infrastructures, it is important to know which State of the Federation have the highest inflow of Candidates the most. Without much analysis, it is expected that due to the current state of security in the North-East of the country, Candidates may for the sake of safety prefer schools in other parts of the country. This assumption we hope to establish in the course of this analysis.

The North West is also enjoying some patronage, this may be due to the unrest in the North East, which has not been able to attract more than 5% of total candidates since 2011. South East achieved almost a 5% impressive increase between 2014 and 2015. The implication is that the infrastructures in place in those schools will suffer as they may not be able to cater for this growth.
