Unjust system of Admission: A review of medical students

This paper is designed to study admission policies’ effect on both students and institutions, how admission policies have been positioned, and the contemporary issues facing the sector in terms of creation of a new university. In order to achieve this objective, the study focuses on identifying what universities’ policies on admissions are by a standard literature review of government policy. The literature review covers major policies on university admissions, an approach that has received little attention from past studies on university education in Nigeria. A qualitative approach is adopted using interviews as the sole research instrument. Medical students who are newly admitted, and those who failed to gain admission, were interviewed with the hope of unveiling issues that affect the admission process. Therefore, this paper fills a gap in knowledge by studying government policies on Nigerian university admission with the aim of understanding how universities operate. The findings reveal that the admission process is an element of university business management that requires effective maintenance in order to produce quality graduates that will make the situation in the country better.
