Has anyone applied with NECO results via Uni assist and got admission especially for BSc. I plan to apply with NECO as I have a complete result but all C’s and I also have a WAEC with a mix, E,D,C,B. I’m not sure if WAEC Carries more weight

NECO is equivalent to WAEC. Present your best result.

Ohraykon:
can i pm you? My friend wants to move to university of trier from his current
school in Luxembourg.

Sure

Ohraykon:
Good morning guys, anyone knows anyone who schools in trier?

What do you wanna find out about Trier?

sowetto:


Thanks a lot. Can someone book an appointment for Bachelor degree and use that appointment to apply for a Masters degree and vice versa?

Not sure about this, but the answer is most likely no.

sowetto:


Thanks for your response. If a person doesn't get an appointment for the semester they applied, will they need to reply for a new appointment for the next semester or will they remain on the queue?

You will remain on the queue. That's the situation as of now. I don't know if they will change it.

You can choose april 2024 as your start date for visa. I'm just saying you could also get an admission for winter 2023. The reason is that summer admission period is usually short. And you could get visa interview invite before you are issued admission letter. The idea is to always have a valid admission at hand.

sholape1500:
Hello guys, pls do I still need an updated admission letter even if I have been enrolled already?

Nope. Your enrolment certificate and your existing admission letter will suffice.

sowetto:
Hello guys, my brother wants to apply for visa appointment for April 2024. But I have seen on this thread that Cat B takes a little over a year.

Is it too late to apply for April 2024?

Now sounds like the perfect time to apply.
However, nothing is guaranteed. I'd say have a backup plan.

In addition, ensure that you have a valid admission at all times. If you get an interview invite but have no valid admission, you will have waited in vain. It may be wise to target schools that defer admission and schools that allow you to start both in winter and summer semesters.

And even if April 2024 is your desired start date, if you meet the admission requirements, then you should apply for winter 2023.

All the best.

Hello everyone, greetings
Can anyone please point me to where I can get a presentable document Explaining the Grading System in Nigerian universities? I applied for admission at HTW Berlin, during the application I attach a simple explanation of our grading system but I received a mail from the school with the title 'missing documents' and I'm asked to reply with an 'Explanation of the Grading System'. I need urgent assistance please!

Your uni in Nigeria should have that. It's usually in the Faculty handbook that you receive upon matriculation. Many schools also have it as pdf on their website. So check your uni's website. It contains details of the grading system and description of the courses.

MrAAA2:


The entire team is working on it.
Sorry for the delay sir.

Hahaha. I don laugh tire. It's giving bossy

Divwake:
okay thanks.
But any other alternative?

None that I am aware of, sadly. German students stay longer in high school than nigerian students. Therefore, our ssce is not considered an equivalent to their high school cert.

Divwake:
Good morning my people.
Can SSCE holder secure Admission in German University?
If no, can he get admitted in Nigerian University, and apply for Admission with his 100L transcript?

First question, no.
Second question, yes.

Waposh:
Hello my fellow nairalanders
Does it make sense if my elder brother is the one providing me with the sponsorship letter, I hope it's not a red flag?

Red flag, how? It is even less suspicious when the sponsorship letter is from a close relative. As long as he meets the requirements, there should be no problem.

I got my Admission Letter (AL) for the summer semester of 2022. I did the first semester online, however, when I paid for my second-semester enrolment fees, I was advised to ex-matriculate and defer my studies to the summer semester of 2023, because, they don't carry out second-semester studies online. I have also gotten another AL to this effect, which bears the second-semester arrangement so I can attach it with my other documents to show my admission is still valid.

Is there anyone who is in Category B, who applied in January? I will like to know if there is any positive news on AD (appointment dates).

Is it an advice or a directive? I mean can you choose not to exmatriculate or they say you have to?

By deferring your studies, does the school mean that you can continue where you left off?

If the first answer is yes and the second answer is no, then you should not exmatriculate.

chisomonyeke:


I went to sterling branch in port harcourt and the lady saying they can only do transfer for s hool fees while the gt bank branch is saying the firm A takes about q month and he also said they usually do gir school fees

I am really confused

Exactly as I said. Even for sterling, people get different results from different branches. But in the last one year there seemed to be more positive outcomes from sterling than from other banks.

My advice would be to find someone who's done it in PH and ask them for the specific branch.

chisomonyeke:

Please someone should answer

There is no rule on how to fund your block account. Just fund your account. Of course you know Form A is much cheaper than sourcing your fcy from the black market.

Funding block account with Form A is not so straightforward. Most bank will tell you block account does not qualify for Form A (because the beneficiary account is in your name. They will tell you they can only transfer directly to your school/institution). But some banks will process it for you. The interesting thing is you will even get different responses from different branches of the same bank, even sterling bank. It's rather confusing.

Now, people talk about Sterling bank a lot because in recent times, it has been the 'surest plug'nin terms of success and speed. At a point sterling bank would fund your block account within 3 days, especially the head office branch at Marina (for those who live in Lagos). In the past GTBank was the surest. At some point Zenith, then Keystone. I do not think GTBank or Keystone even do block account via Form A anymore. So, the situation is always changing because block account is a grey area in terms of eligibility for form A.

Sadly, I don't think Sterling is as fast as they used to be. A friend has been waiting for them to debit him for almost 2 months now. And it is not even block account. I guess the whole september rush also affects speed. When people heard that Sterling was fast, they all ran there. (especially the UK people). So I imagine they now have a huge backlog. Meanwhile I heard Union Bank does it in about a week (not block account though).

To answer your question, it doesn't have to be Sterling bank. But be aware that it hard to get a Nigerian bank that will do the transaction, talk less of doing it quickly. And currently, Sterling bank is not fast.

Divwake:
I'll advise for you to cancel and book again with the right start Date.

Why? Clearly, the embassy does not consider your programme start date.

Shugarlipz, ultimately, the decision is yours. I'll advise you not to cancel. Get another admission letter for summer.

With the way things are going, you may have to wait till next Winter. (isn't the waiting period 12 months?). Just ensure you have a valid admisssion letter at all times.

More importantly, explore other options. No one knows when this semi-embargo will end.

charliesyndrom:
As part of the checklist for students visa, it was stated that applicants born before 1992 can't make use of NPC birth cert and that an age declaration deposed by the family head is required. Does anyone have a sample of this special age declaration deposed by the family head? Does it require my family head passport photograph to be on it also?

Someone told me she was born before 1992 and used npc birth certificate without issues. I cannot confirm if this is true.

Anyway, to your question:
Yes. It requires your family head's passport photo as well as yours. Essentially this person swears an affidavit attesting to the date you were born. This affidavit is the used by npc to issue you a certificate of age declaration.

My advice is just go to NPC and tell them you want to do age declaration "deposed by your mum or dad (or whichever family head you choose). They have people within the premises that will handle the affidavit. There's a standard format. You give them your details and the passport photos. They will take it to the High Court to get it stamped. But you'll pay some money for their services, separate from the cost of Age declaration that npc will charge you.

Alternatively, you may decide to go to the high court to do the affidavit by yourself and bring it to npc. In any case, don't worry about the content. Once you tell them what you want, they'll handle it. There's a standard format that is usually followed.

Montenate:
Please do you have to have your student visa before you can book your Lagos to Germany flight??

No. Because you could be a citizen or permanent resident. They'll only check that at the airport.

Just be careful not to book a flight for a date prior to the validity of your visa. For instance you can't fly on the 5th if your visa is valid from 6th.

ozonaija:


Is this only for people above 30 years ??

Yes private health insurance is the ideal option if you're 30 and above.

Montenate:

MrCadu:


Thank you bro. I did and i was sent some bunch of attached documents to my email. When I contacted my school. I was told to contact a public provider and submit contract for evaluation.

Do anyone have a public provider contacts for evaluation??

You contacted your school for what exactly?

And why did they ask you to send to public provider for evaluation?

It is not supposed to be complicated. That is the insurance that I use.

MrCadu:
Please is there any insurance one can apply for while still in Nigeria which requires one to start paying when one gets to Germany for studies for students above 30yo? Most of the insurance in Germany i come across are for below 30s. I need help please.

I replied to this earlier. Just get Educare24 by Dr. Walter.

MrCadu:


For 30yrs + & above

Dr. Walter, Mawista & Care concept are good options.

englishgirl55:
Am still study online in Nigeria, i paid my school fees but i have not paid for my insurance, so how do i go about registration for the insurance?

If your school did not request for insurance as a requirement for enrolment, please don't stress yourself.

When you get to Germany you can do that

UPDATED2020:
any ideas on which I can choose

There are many of them, and their offerings are similar. Anyone will do. AOK, DAK, TK are some of the popular ones.

UPDATED2020:
what about me that I am under 30 bro,which issurance can I make of

Statutory (i.e public) health insurance if you are less than 30.

MrCadu:


Thanks.... which of the statutory or private health insurance you know of that can guarantee me a digital health insurance while still in Nigeria. I was filling one of those this evening but they were requesting me of my iban number and account details. Please help further ��

Try AOK. My advice is that you inform them upfront that you are not yet in Germany.

MrCadu:

I got this mail above, please is any temporary digital insurance i apply whereby I can pay fee when i get to Germany? I understand most of the insurance will start running even while one is still in Nigeria

Why not contact the statutory or private health insurance companies in Germany (if you're 30 and above) and confirm.

As far as I know, you wont be charged for insurance until you arrive in Germany. You can sign an insurance contract from Nigeria but they will usually ask you to inform them when you arrive in Germany. That has been my experience.
