Thanks for this wonderful note sir.

I will like to know if i can still apply with my expired passport as its taking eternity to get it renewed.
also sir i will to get a breakdown of EMU Masters Fee for International Relations ( I mean a breakdown like the one you just did)
The accommodation too, On campus or off campus which is better and how much can one prepare ahead for this.

I am asking all this questions because my sponsor requested for the proposed fees in order to make a good preparation.

Thanks and God Blessings.

Applicants should be aware of Exorbitant and Flaming lies of Recruitment agents

University approved recruitment agents are those approved by the university to recruit students for the said university. This is basically contract-based agreement and designed to make application, counseling and guiding the applicant's lot easier.

However, the agents have turned to YAHOO YAHOO business by excessively milking the applicants to their bone marrows. Some of these agents tend to lure the applicants by providing false information to the applicants such as distorting the tuition fees, recruitment conditions etc.

I have received so many messages on how the agents have manufactured figures just to deceive unaware applicants. It's really sad cos if the applicants can pay the service charge levied by the agent...then there is no need to deceive the applicant again.


Below is the message sent from an agent to one of the recent victims also from Nairaland:

"Currently, The school offers 50% scholarships

Hence tuition for undergraduate is 3100€ and For masters it's 2326€ and they accept installment too.
The good news is that the school also accept installment payment, therefore, for admission one need a total of 2300€ which includes application, tuition part payment, embassy documentation and visa, also our service charge. The break down of the 2300€ goes thus:
Application fee 50€,embassy documentation 500€, tuition deposit 1000€, visa fee 250€ then our service charge is 500€ only paid after visa is issued."
.

From the message above, the agent either purposely lied to the victim regarding the Master program tuition fee in CIU or lacks knowledge of the master program fee (too bad).

1. At CIUcurrently: per graduate course is 350 € and without deficiency courses, students are expected to undertake 7 courses plus a thesis (1050 €). The registration, insurance, and other fees is 295 €. Total master program fee in CIU is 350x7 +1050 +295 + VAT= 3795 €+ VAT

2. Visa fee currently at Turkish Embassy Abuja is 250 USD, not 250 €.

3. CIU does not charge application fee

4. Embassy documentation of 500€ is deadly. Nothing like embassy documentation since applicants would be providing the required documents at the embassy unless the documents the agent would provide would be fabricated.

5. A service charge of 500 € in this economic recession is enormous as per exchange rate.


Am just here to alert the applicants to also do more research before falling fully into a coma. This victim already paid most of these charges and this thread just opened the eyes.

I got a message just this morning from a lady of 37 years, She said the agent promised to get her undergraduate admission in TRNC provided she pays the required fees. The legal age limit for undergraduate in TRNC is 25 years...which means this agent will forge or distort the applicant age.

Unfortunately, the said applicant sounds very interested and care-less about beign rejected visa, or the nemesis after some years.

Definitely, you can't meet up EMU admission for this semester. So you can apply for next entry which I believe your passport should be ready by then. EMU does indicate applicant passport number on the admission letter and that same number is sent to the embassy for a visa. The fees of all University are mostly written on the website of the university, just check under fees, briefly, it cost around 6500 USD to complete a master for now at EMU which is inclusive of 50% scholarship. I can't say which is better between on- and off-campus dormitories. The only thing is in off-campus you may find friends or enemies to share a room with and reduce the cost of the room and bills, but on-campus does not allow sharing beyond regulated capacity. Also, you can find the fee for accommodation on the website. Just visit EMU website!

If there are other things you can't find kindly spell it out.! Best wishes!

The people they attended to on 22nd and today are those mostly without appointments or printouts. This is General for any students that had secured admission.However, would be difficult to attend to those they had attended to before. Meanwhile, two applicants also here on Nairaland were attended to around July Ending, they returned their documents to them that name not on the list, but were attended to on 22nd and asked them to come on Next Tuesday for their passports.

18 of the people I recently got admission for even some just paid 3 days ago without appointments were attended to. 12 among the 18 students were asked to pick their passports on 29th. While the rest 6 were told they would call them after communicating with the university.

May I know the school you applied to? If is EMU, kindly imbo me your full name and confirmation of payment number. Am preparing a list to follow up with the embassy in TRNC before Or on FRIDAY.

Sir. The name issue is really frustrating. Schools will resume soon and people are still having these issues. Even many of the people rushing for interview this Tuesday and thursday. Many didn't see their names because they just paid recently. They will probably get their passport back with the same “name not on the list" tag, putting us in the same category while resumption states us in the face. I'm just hopeful the embassy will attend to us after now

Sending names and applicants details to the embassy passes through several doors. University here don't interact with the embassy directly as I have mentioned severally.

The details goes from university to Turkish embassy in TRNC and another chain of doors.

tcitachi:

I've sent it sir check ur mail

I can confirm that your details were sent more than a month from the university based on the record I just received.
Also, I called my link in Immigration office in TRNC, they also sent your details to embassy in Nigeria as I had to follow those that paid today so as to get their names sent.

Be patient till first Ist-2nd week embassy as I learnt the university have just sent a memo as well stating students frustration.

The embassy will keep attending to FALL applicants until November, however, most students that will in arrive after October may not be able to register depending on the university. If you can't pay within first week September, I will advise you switch to Spring entry (Feb 2018).

Kindly go to the embassy on the said dates. As I mentioned in my earlier posts, embassy doesn't wait for list directly from the university. List of students comes from the embassy in TRNC via EMBASSY in Turkey.

During those dates, the embassy will directly verify students from the recently opened channel with the uni to fast track the visa specifically for TRNC prospective students.

I met some students yesterday at the embassy, students from Near East University, EMU, CIU, METU etc, I thought I was the only one tired of waiting for the usual response from the Embassy "we'll call you". The information about coming to the Embassy on 22nd and 24th of August was for those who are yet to be interviewed and not the "name not on the list" category, tho we couldn't have wasted time and transportation yesterday to the Embassy so we had to make it worthwhile. We got to know that the lists are already there (Embassy) those who went in for interview yesterday were given new lists to check for their names luckily some saw their names so if you are reading this and you are in this category like me lol be rest assured that your name is there! (I'm not talking about those who just paid school fees this week or the last oh), At some point, someone ( I really don't know his office or name) he asked the category of "name not on the list" to be on a queue, trust me with all joy we obeyed, after our level of organization was satisfactory to him lol he told us not to wait again that we would be called, I couldn't laugh cause it was so sad after standing from I guess 9am till we left the Embassy by 6pm there about that was it "go home". Anyways some of us would go there on Monday just to see (it's funny ba... the purpose of going to the embassy is to go and see, I told my parents same too "I want to go and see the Embassy on Monday"wink.
N:B I'd share info whenever I have, please guys do share too when you get an update.
