2. RADIOGRAPHY
Radiopgraphy is one super dope course that so many people are yet to discover, with little effort
you will easily gain admission with it, cos only few schools offer it and they have very few applicants. To be honest with you, Radiography is one course
that science inclined students can take a look at. It is one of the less competitive medical courses and you might just get it if you choose to study it at the university.
Radiography is the imaging of body cells, tissues and organs for the purpose of diagnosis of certain
3. LANGUAGES
I
know some people will bemad at me for putting yhis course on no 3, languasges is one of , if not the
best less competitive courses in Nigeria, Languages is a very vast course in Nigerian tertiary education institutions which has different aspects that you can major in. The course is peculiar to those in the arts.
With the study of a particular language, you can get really important job roles at Embassies where you can become a translator and be paid handsomely for it.You can also work in most media houses and at the customer service centres for some top telecommunications companies and banks in the country, as well as other companies in Nigeria who need people that are fluent in certain indigenous and foreign languages and you can even work in the embassy
Courses under the Faculty of Languages in some Nigerian Universities include the following:
Linguistics
Arabic
Hausa Language
Igbo Language
French
Yoruba Language
Chinese
Hindi
Portuguese
Spanish
Russian
4. AGRICULTURE

I think everyone is starting to know how lucrative and less competitive
Agriculture is another less competitive course to look at in Nigerian universities. The course enables you as a graduate to create your own job, produce raw materials for industries, go on agricultural tours, helps in the diversification of the economy, to mention but a few.
Some of the best courses to study under Agriculture In Nigerian Universities include the following:
Agricultural Engineering
Animal Production
Crop Production
Agricultural Economics
Agricultural Science Education
Animal Science and Technology
Soil Science and Technology
Fisheries and Aquacultural Technology
ailments and graduates in the field are in demand these days. They are paid handsomely as well.
5. BUILDING TECHNOLOGY
Building Technology is the less competitive version of Civil Engineering and applying for it can get you into the university sooner rather than later.
Building technology is the study of the technical processes and methods used in the constructing buildings. It combines both architecture and civil engineering.
Graduates in this discipline can choose to go for further certifications that can enable them work at some of the top construction companies in Nigeria.
6. MATHEMATICS /STATISTICS
Interestingly, Mathematics and Statistics are less competitive courses in Nigeria. They are there for students who love to play with figures. People who study mathematics or statistics can work anywhere and be paid decent salaries.
7. ZOOLOGY
A science course that is one of the less competitive in Nigerian universities is Zoology. This branch of science deals with animal behaviour, animal physiology and life. Zoologists work at zoological parks, wildlife research centres etc.
8. C.R.K/I.R.K
Christian Religious Knowledge and Islamic Religious Knowledge are also less competitive. They are courses apart from Theology that teaches students the in and out of these two major religions in the country.
Graduates of this course can become teachers or lecturers at various public and private education institutions in Nigeria as well as clerics.

9. HISTORY
History is another good course in Nigerian universities that is less competitive and peculiar to arts students. By the time you know it, you are through with your studies.
Studying history is studying about past events as described in written documents, it keeps you informed and sets you up to becoming an archivist, a demographer, diplomat, foreign Affairs analyst/specialist, immigration specialist, market research analyst, to mention but a few.
10. VETERINARY MEDICINE
Veterinary medicine is one of the medical courses in Nigerian universities that is very less competitive. It is an alternative to medicine and surgery but instead of humans, animals are the ones being treated by a veterinary doctor.
This course deals with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease, disorder and injury in animals. Science inclined students would do well to check this course.
