Diploma is a two year programme run in some
universities with respect to other programmes like the Regular programme (4-7years), Continuing Education Programme(CEP) {6years}.
The Diploma programme in UNIZIK is structured in a way that after two years, upon completion and scaling through with a Cumulative Grade Point Average(CGPA) of at least 3.5, one gains admission into the regular programme through what is referred to as the direct entry admission.
Like other programmes, the Diploma students have their own time table and it's more or less
structured like the Regular programme- they attend lectures the way Regular students do. (Some lecturers might want to merge the two classes to ease the burden of repetition- merging REGULAr 100L with DIPLOMA 100L, depending on the course.)
The CEP is a weekend programme, hence their
lectures are usually on Fridays and Saturdays.
*The Diploma programme is HIGHLY competitive
and has no room for the non serious students.
Though it's a fact that a good number of the
students are quite unserious. For instance, in a
class of about 300 students, at the end of the
programme, only 20-30 might gain a direct entry
admission. The direct entry admission is structured
in a way that the best students gain admission. For instance, if the school is to take 20 students in a department, the count starts from 4.5 CGPA
downwards. Assuming the 20 falls in 4.0, they stop. So in essence, 3.5 is not a guarantee for direct entry admission, hence Frank's candid advice is for the student to aspire up to 4.5
CGPA.

The programme has its own examination schedule. Just like other programmes have their separate exam time table,so does Diploma.
While in the programme, you can retake JAMB. A
good number of my friends gained admission
through JAMB while in the Diploma programme. So the programme offers you two chances of gaining admission through JAMB and a direct entry
admission.

Determination, a good relationship with God, hard work, dedication to one's studies are key factors to succeeding in the programme. Feel free to associate with like minds(dedicated mindsets), make friends with people above you who are in good academic standing, so that they can put you through in areas of difficulty.(Applicable to anyone that calls himself a student)

Dedicate those two years to hard work and you
shall reap the fruits in no distant time. Make
adequate use of your leisure, you can hangout if
you wish cos all work and no play, makes 'Frank' adullard- but their should be moderation in
everything you do.
