BASIC INFORMATION FOR POSTGRADUATE APPLICANTS INTO UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN, NIGERIA.

UPDATE: 2014/15 U.I PG FORMS ARE ON SALE. visit https://postgraduatenigeria.com.ng/201415-university-of-ibadan/ for more info
Presently, the postgraduate school at the University of Ibadan is advertising and receiving applications for its 2013/14 academic session. The University of Ibadan is a “Harvard” of some sort to many Nigerians. Within Nigeria and West Africa region, University of Ibadan has stood out, and is still standing tall within its academic equals. The following is to assist all those applying for postgraduate studies at U.I
1. The Sale of Forms for the 2013/14 academic session commenced on 10th June, 2013 (this includes the sale of scratch cards) and is going to close on the 19th July, 2013.
2. On-line registration is better done using the latest Internet explorer, goggle chrome or opera web browser. Mozilla firefox does not work for the registration.
3. On-line Registration is done at www.registration.pgschool.edu.ng . The first step is to fill in your bio-data, print out your invoice and pay at the bank. The form fee is 13,000 naira for academic and 18,000 naira for professional programmes.
4. Those registering for academic Masters will pay 2,500 naira for English Proficiency  Test. All these payments are done at designated banks.
5. After getting the scratch cards from the banks, you can continue your on-line registration using the codes (pin and serial numbers) on the scratch cards.
6. All Prospective Applicants should submit all credentials including NYSC discharged certificate or exemption letter. Corps members who would have completed the NYSC programme by the start of registration (especially batch C ‘corpers’) can apply as their certificate would be ready for presentation by the start of the registration process.
7. For an academically good student, (CGPA>3.0/5), the chances of getting admitted into University of Ibadan are bright,but it still depends on the competition into the department being applied to.
8. For The English Proficiency Test, it was only introduced last year (i.e 2012/13 session). The test was based on basic English language which includes lexis and structure, antonyms e.t.c. A revision of JAMB use of English would help.
9. Prospective Postgraduate Students can take the sample proficiency test for revision. After submission of the form, download the English Proficiency test sample question from the website.
Wishing you all a successful application into the Postgraduate School at University of Ibadan, Nigeria’s Premier University.

  1. Please I don't know if you have 1st hand info on the guidelines especially for Post Graduate Diploma. I have a deficiency in Maths (O'level) is there anyway to remedy that? Thank you

  2. well this is not first hand, but it depends on the dept you are applying to. If you are applying for a postgraduate diploma in fields outside engineering, maths and related courses, then there should be no problem. What the department you are applying to?

  3. Pls, because of the ASUU strike I can't get my lecturer to sign my refree form and also to request for my transcript. I heard submission of application forms end on the 31st of August, and transcripts must have reached UI by then…I'm in a fix, I don't know what to do, pls advise.

  4. ^^ The postgraduate school at university of Ibadan is on strike so it would still take some time before registration finally closes, but why not give a call personally to your referees so they would fill the form privately for you? Also for your transcript, it ASUU that is on strike not NASU, your school's exams and records should be working. Thanks.

  5. I clicked on the link & I saw a notice that sale of pg forms will be from 27/12/13-10/01/14. Is that for 2013/2014 or 2014/2015?
