Wait—What Do Merit, ELDS, and Catchment Mean?

It’s not just random numbers thrown around. They mean different things:Merit: The top-tier requirement. If you’re not from a Catchment state or ELDS area, this is your benchmark.
ELDS: Short for Educationally Less Developed States. Students from these states get slightly relaxed entry scores.
Catchment: Close-by states. Think Sokoto, Zamfara, Kebbi. You might get a softer landing here too.

This tri-score system gives more people a shot without dropping the bar completely.
So, You Made the Cut. Or Maybe You Didn’t. Now What?
If you scored above the mark:

Nice. You’re through the first door. But don’t relax too much. Next steps come fast: post-UTME, screenings, document checks. Miss a date and it could all fall apart. Head over to the UDUSOK admissions portal and keep refreshing. This time, it’s worth it.
Didn’t make it?

Look. It’s not the end. Consider applying for less competitive courses or watch for supplementary lists. Sometimes, departments lower scores after the first round if seats aren’t filled.

Don’t give up just yet.
The Honest Truth?

You’re not alone in this. Thousands are staring at the same chart, calculating odds, checking categories, second-guessing what “catchment” even means. It’s a lot.

But now you know. And when you know what you’re up against, you’re not guessing anymore. You’re planning.

The clock’s ticking. Your next move counts.
