You just cant wake up in May and decide to start an Msc programme before Nov.
There is the form buying, filling and submitting stage.
If you buy any Msc form now in Nigeria, the earliest start time is November and thats for a school with a 'sharp' calendar

dotobo: The problem now is this: Is it mandatory to serve first (after B.Tech/B.Sc) before going fo M.Sc in Nigeria?

Hi...

Its mandatory that you serve first before thinking of going for your masters.

Applying for Masters without an NYSC certificate can be likened to someone who applies for a job without his NYSC certificate as well.

You would be denied Admission.

dotobo: Also, I graduated with a B.Tech in Agricultural Economics, CGPA: 2.95, and I'm planning to switch lane to ICT/Comp. Sci or Business Related M.Sc. What do you advice?

Thanks in advance for your candid advice and opinion, they are most appreciated....

A business related M.Sc like finance, risk management, Cooperative Econs and Management...etc is quite ok, but I doubt if its possible to switch from one field/faculty to another for your M.Sc program.(Eg Agric Econs to ICT/Comp. Sci)

Good luck.
