Many of the students applying for 2017 UTME would like to apply for admission to an institution where they stand a chance of being admitted. Following observations, most candidates who apply for admission into over-competitive institutions like UNILORIN, UNILAG, UNIBEN etc. end up not gaining admission. So instead of applying to these over-competitive ones, why not try these other institutions that are less competitive and can give you a better chance of being admitted. So based on last years statistics, below are the list of schools that are less competitive (meaning they do not have a high number of applications); Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Modibo Adamawa University of Technology Federal University, Otuoke, Bayelsa State Federal University, Lokoja Federal University, Gashua, Yobe State Federal University, Gusau, Zamfara State Federal University, Dutsin-Ma, Katsina State Federal University Of Petroleum Resources, Effurun Federal University, Kashere Federal University, Wukari Federal University, Oye-Ekiti Federal University, Birnin-Kebbi Federal University, Lafia Federal University, Ndufu-Alike Federal University, Dutse
