But looking at any this group's financials, one can comfortably say that all is well. The group has a huge leverage, in that the bulk of the materials and labour consumed is locally sourced. Even the chairman Aliko himself said earlier this year that he was not affected by the forex crisis, since 80% of the forex he needs is just to pay expats. For the half year 2016, sales were over #290billion, compared to #230bn made in the corresponding period of 2015. There was also about #8billion recorded as forex gains from offshore operations.

The dream is for the academy to grow to a university by 2020. In Feb this year, there was a major MoU signed by the group with the Germans concerning the running of the academy. VTS- the program for the OND guys has not be holding for some time now. So GETS is the major essence of the academy for now, and given the level of investments made so far, we can be sure GETS will hold, and it will soon.
To handle the issue of the prolonged wait, this is what I will say:
If you know you really aced the test, and there's nothing that can make you score below say 60%, then relax, and get engaged with something while you wait. If however, you're only hoping to pass, then you may want to forget GETS already- pretend you never applied.
Also, If your confidence is in God concerning this, and you're sure He wants it for you, then also relax, stay in faith, and engage yourself with something while you wait-that makes the wait easier.

I hope to see us all in November. Sleep well

I wrote MECH test, with so many chemistry questions : Chemical guys should go and prepare with Mechanics questions. It's inversely proportional, Dangote Standard.

Some guys like emmabod,Gnen, Kecy19 & Eckzavia sent me private messages (PM). I guess it's in connection with GETS test. Network was bad so I couldn't access the messages.
To that effect, here are the tips to help you guys pass the test: prepare with GMAT especially the field based aspect and also read some psychometric charts (abstract reasoning).

Try and ace the test, those who wrote in May(mech,mining, Automobile plus chemical & electrical guys that gatecrashed at Obajana test centre) didn't do quite well in the test according to information from an inside source, though the overall best did excellently well.He scored 73%, right now he is on the merit list, the interview will just be a formality for him.
You guys should try and do well in the test because they aggregate the test and interview scores in order to determine the overall baseline score to use in determining those who will be selected for the trainee programme.

Hopefully, two weeks after you guys's test(elect & Chem guys) all the departments (mech,mining, elect & Chem) will be invited for the oral interview at the same time.

BEST WISHES!!!

Thanks for the info. but still need ur assistance. Pls I ll appreciate if anyone that has GMATH could snap the chemical engineering questions there and send it to me @ denisjoe2005@yahoo.ie


Thanks as I anticipate your timeous response.
Re: Dangote 2016 GETS Closes On February 5th by rhajaan(m): 10:03pm On Sep 16, 2016
[b]It's going to be Gmat. Two parts.
First part, 60 questions comprises of general knowlege and general engineering knowledge.

Second part, 20 questions on your discipline.
Bro prepare for everything and prepare well.
If you really want the GETS, don't loose the chance. You will calculate alot but trust me it could be easy.
Prepare for numerical and verbal reasoning, then browse through your mechanical Engineering courses very well.
cos the moment u tinking u are killing turbines from ur area, steel from chem abi i dont know comes in, it was just too many random questions. except dem normal O level chem P1V1 kini, and diagrammatic, and some normal maths .. then the area of specialization part was generally easy. my mining was like german or choose ansa, or true or false. buh was still easy esp wen compared to the first general part.
There's nothing misleading about the information. I wrote mine in lagos and prior to handing out the question papers, the lady coordinating the exam took about 30mins to explain the whole GETS programme; the vision, the selection process,....etc. She insisted that we the candidates ask any question about the program rather than reading stuffs on social media. She told us that the next batch for this year would be for chemical and electrical engineers. So I would suggest that guys from those discipline start preparing. The exam was purely academic covered topics from 100L-400L... at least as much as I can remember. And it covered several courses.
The lady also told us that the cut off mark was subject to general performance. And those who eventually scale the test and interview would be taken to Obajana, where they would be trained for 12 months, after which the trainees would be absored to any of the dangote subsidiaries where vacancies exist. She told us this year is the 5th batch since the commencement of GETS. All trainees from the 1st to 2 batches were absorbed 80% and 75% of the 3rd and 4th batch respectively. According to her the trainees would be evaluated quarterly and the overall performance determines if one would eventually get absorbed in any of the dangote subsidiaries. In other words it's not enough scaling the hurdle of test and interview. The academy is also another hurdle. Accommodation and transportation during the 12 months program is free and a stipend of 80k would be provided to each of the trainees. Trainees would also be given 2weeks leave, the timing of which is at the trainee's perogative

To that effect, here are the tips to help you guys pass the test: prepare with GMAT especially the field based aspect and also read some psychometric charts (abstract reasoning). ABOUT LOCATIION
Bros Tis simple...
From Oshodi, enter ikeja inside or ikeja along, if tis ikeja along, cross the railway and trek to ikeja inside "under bridge " from there ask anybody you wanna take keke napep going to Oba Akran and tell the keke man that you wanna drop for Dangote agro sack main gate.
..............
Tis even Trekkable if you are not a butter guy... From there you can still shadow many companies lined up for that Oba Akran road.
[/b]
THE ABOVE SUMMARIZES THE WHOLE THREAD......#TEAMELECT..Wishing us success

Why nobody has come out to share the outcome of the test? Could it be as a result of the toughness of the questions? You guys were given tips on what to prepare with unlike the Mech guys that wrote in may.
Well, the truth is that one cannot easily pass the test unless one has prepared well before the test using the right material, in this case GMAT as earlier said ,because the formulars required to solve those calculations cannot easily be remembered under examination condition.

All the same I wish you guys all the best, although I am sure those of you who prepared well will still come out gallantly.

Success to you guys!!!
