lillya: I did Cowleg. This ur name sha. Well am not good with maths but the rest was good all in all am hopeful. I loved how the exam was conducted, you breeze in b4 u know it u breeze out. What abt urs?

lillya: Mine was in NIIT wuse Abuja.

cowleg:

Cool!!!!!! Success to.us

eduxerxes: ȋ̝̊̅̄ didn't borther to write after my experience in 2012. I did the exam, had A++. Applied for Oracle 3G, and I was asked to pay N150,000 for the training. I now asked where the scholarship comes in and they said..."Normal training fee is 350k, that it has been subsidized to 150k" damn! Its still not affordable, I had to forego the whole thing. I think they shouldn't be misleading people with that term "scholarship" because its purely ICT subsidy (just like fuel subsidy ish)!

arshavineering: when NIIT requested application for a scholarship I laughed ; cos those people can never do anything free for any person..them and mtn I no know who better pass...try get A++; u go still pay money even if na 100naira

braindamage:
...I wrote..and passed.

cowleg:
did you got full scholarship?

braindamage:
..It is a partial scholarship. Like a (60-70)% scholarship.

vivalavida:
All of u will pass.
No one will fail
NIIT is just after ur money.
They will give u all partial scholarship.

nairalandist:
I'm surprised that Nigerians are still falling for that NIIT Scam.

Every year, they gather people at different locations across the country and promise them some scholarship and a possible trip to India. At the end of the day, everybody ends up paying through their noses.

If they want to offer people discounts for their training programmes, let them do so in a public advert instead of tagging it a scholarship. It's daylight robbery!

braindamage:
...Not daylight robbery.. I am a recipient. Would have paid 2x the amount I paid for the present program I run. The partial scholarship still offers me an extra space for a second program. I feel they have sticked to our agreement so far. Most colleges in the UK and U.S offer partial scholarship too. If you stay in Abuja, send me a mail(epum.michael@yahoo.com), we could meet for me to lay credence to all I have said.

nairalandist:



I don't know if you work for NIIT or something, but the truth still remains that the 'scholarship' being advertised is misleading. Instead of calling it a scholarship, let them do adverts for price reduction in the cost of their fees. It's lack of educational policies that make for-profit computer schools like NIIT advertise scholarships without being screened.

And please.... never compare NIIT too UK & US Colleges. These are universities we're talking about here. Do you think a Nigerian can go to the USA and open one computer school there and start advertising scholarships without getting bounced by the government? Oga!

If you stay in Abuja, send me a mail(epum.michael@yahoo.com), we could meet for me to lay credence to all I have said....sadly, you've failed to understand what I spelt out. First, I don't work for NIIT. When you pass the scholarship, they give you an acknowledgement letter(see attached picture carefully, please read it). I never compared NIIT to UK and U.S colleges, I only said that the issue of partial scholarship is not alien to NIIT. I sincerely do not think it is fair to call the scholarship misleading, our educational policies have a myriad of problems, I don't think this is one. I personally would not have the money for this program I enrolled for, if not the partial scholarship presented to me. They have been open and transparent so far to me.
