ADMISSION QUOTA AND APPLICANTS VERSUS CAPACITY

Gombe State University has a carrying capacity of approximately 7,525 candidates across its academic programmes. However, admission remains highly competitive, particularly in professional courses where applications significantly exceed the available spaces.

For instance:

▪ Medicine and Surgery received 2,231 applicants competing for 100 available spaces.

▪ Law recorded 1,187 applicants competing for 50 available spaces.

▪ Nursing Science attracted 2,363 applicants competing for 75 available spaces.

▪ Computer Science received 1,241 applicants competing for 200 available spaces.

▪ Pharmacy recorded 967 applicants competing for 100 available spaces.

These figures clearly demonstrate the intense competition for admission, especially into professional and highly sought-after programmes.

The University therefore advises candidates, particularly those with average or lower UTME scores, to consider alternative programmes where admission opportunities may be more favourable.
