This post is a complete exposition for all prospective nursing students and healthcare administrators in Nigeria.

What is an Admission Quota for the Nigerian Schools of Nursing?

An admission quota is the required number of students any institution can afford to give admission. This means that institution will not give admission to any additional prospective students should the quota be reached. Let us say that the admission quota for LUTH School of Nursing is 150, the institution will not admit 151 students. It is therefore imperative to prepare well enough for the examination of any School of Nursing as admission is competitive. Furthermore, over 10, 000 candidates apply to some Schools of Nursing in Nigeria. Comparing the quota rate and application, you will see clearly that the competition is stiff.

However, it is common among aspiring nurses who failed to secure admission to say that the admission process was not credible. The institution can not admit more than its required capacity. This is according to the laid-down guideline of the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria. Let us now see the admission quotas and accreditation status for all health institutes (schools of nursing and midwifery) in Nigeria according to each state. This list is in alphabetical order. You can use the table of content to navigate to your preferred state.
