abeg,

, ehen sorry no vex, all you have to do is come to niit, why are yu delaying,

Hello All,

Before you start thinking of which school is good and which one is not, it is important you know the reason why you want IT. If you are able to say for sure that you want IT, then the school you attend might not be totally important. Most times, people want to do IT because they think they will get more money and open up several job opportunities for them. I must say that truly it does but it requires a lot of hard work and dedication. I have been an IT instructor for several years and found out that 90% of students in Nigeria just want IT because they can make more money been IT professionals. Once they start the classes, they realise that it entails a lot of hard work, dedication and self discipline which they can not cope with and just simply run!!!!!!!!! I knew i wanted IT and attended NIIT in year 2000. If you ask me, i will say NIIT is the best training institute in the country as i have been working as an IT professional with the knowledge i got from the Centre in Surulere for over 6 years now. I will advise you join NIIT, read and research alot, be willing to hear from experienced professional especially your instructor, share ideas with friends. Please dont just pick up materials, read and then read cheat sheets and just pass the exams. I have been oppotuned to interview people for jobs with loads of certifications and found out that they are very good with theories but not practicals that is required to get the job done. In conclusion, i will recommend NIIT because i gained immensly by attending the institute.

@Poster!

I worked as a student education counsellor at NIIT and I think,I can say some few things which might be of importance here,every organisation has its good and bads,Among the bad NIIT is still the best and of course it is the first IT training institution in Nigeria,yeah of course,it is relenting because it is only relying now on its past glory.But guys I must be sincere with you,the catch with NIIT are their books Lay ur hands on those materials and you are just good to go.I learnt some stuffs while I was there which I didnt need any faculty to train me and point of correction it is not the Nigerians there that are exploiting,it is the Indians themselves,putting unreasonable targets even with the meagre pay they offer.So I will still recommend NIIT if you cannot go online and google for the infor yourself and of course by this time the 9th NIIT/Nigeria Scholarships will be out so you can avail yourself the opportunity of getting the form and trying your luck,Dont 4get,it is only a partial scholarship ooooooo!ALL THE BEST!

NIIT, still remain the best in the market, take a try and you will be able to discover the truth. NIIT, don't find you job, rather they teach you to pass your certification and the rest is left for you. What else do you need from them. Am working on my own as a Sun Java programmer from NIIT. And it pays me more to know am the only expert around my niche. It's well.

Well, APTECH, NIIT KAROX, ALL,, , they make no difference if you don't put in your own effort. We nigerians are just lazy. You don't do the complex mathematical part of software engineering taught to students in prominent institutions and yet you won't still study. I'm a student of Aptech, and though i hear students complain and in some cases their complaint is plainly true, yet my own effort coupled with the schools influence makes the difference.

niit are thieves, their price is extravagant. their scheme is not a scholarship. i passes last years exam and was asked to pay N170,000. just for oracle. that is not a scholarship, they should give it another name

@Scrubber
True TALK!!!

If you ask me, I will say the term SCHOLARSHIP as used by NIIT is juss a DECECEPTION. As a young boy in 2004, I went there for my Oracle DBA training and I was made to pay N 175,000.00. And I still ended up having to study seriously HARD( u can't pass exams or neither become a GURU at what they teach u alone.) U have to get other materials especially for their JAVA.

My Advise - Get a cheaper Institution where you can get access to good materials and at least a minimum conducive environment. Then use the change u have to get a very Good Laptop - which u can then install the required Softwares - AND THEN STUDY VERY HARD!!!.

PHOTOCOPY NO EASY. - so Give ur self to I.T 100% or BACK OUT!!!

OK truly I agree wit most posts to some level but I'd like to tell you my part of the story

I'm presently on IT at NIIT Ajah and I can tell you that apart from the basic problems which we may face everyday (that are quickly solved) I think it's the best IT firm in Nigeria as they have reasons and results to show for it.

I support the center stuff really because at my center everything runs smoothly and u'd have to switch the AC off urself wen u want to freeze! The systems are ON and Available complete with datafiles thru the day and the staff are well qualified and certified at thier various levels, well maybe becuase my boss is also an IT guru and wouldn't take rubbish guys, u even have to take exams to work here!

Truly the price you pay is not a justification to expect the impossible (that is) going from IT illitracy to guru in 6 months without burning the midnight candle on your own,

I was also quite experienced myself before I could even be taken as an IT student but wat I've learn from interactions and the available textbooks have made the dark areas bright,

I would like to point out the problems with Nigerian students, because we pay much cause of our bad economy, we always want to emphasize the money more than the reason we paid the money!

ok I wouldn't want to sound too NIITish because really they dont pay well and it's the indians exploiting us

please i want to know what the NiiT scholarship exam is all about exam,i applied 4 it and i have no knowledge.Any 1 wants to profer any assistance to me to do so here ciao,

niit is a school to b.no longtin.thanks

omoluc:

yes, thanks very much for your effort to help me out. I appreciate your advice.
however what basics do i need to be admitted into one of these schools (do i need any basic requirement)?

it is advisable that before you go into niit, you should have your SSCE. not that it is a basic cariteria, but just an advice from the information that i have. apart from your SSCE you do not require any additional qualification.

wen u attend the presentations (aka interview) at niit, you will get excited and decide to go for their programs because of what it can get you in a country like nigeria (certificate wise).

if that is how and why you got into niit, you can say it's full of shit because personally i think you fell for their marketing schemes.

but whatever you do in niit, the devidends of it depends on how willing you are to learn than how good they are in teaching.

their books are very good.
being a part of niit gives you alot that you will only find out by experience
niit has a very broad coverage and is very recognize as well as their certificate.

i'm currently doing my dniit in Warri, and the experience is more of practical & usable than just theory.

the fact that you have to study hard at niit should not scare you if IT is your field because then studing hard would not be so hard.
wish you luck.

Thx 4 all ur replies.
But can som1 gain admission without the SSCE certificate.

Heard one wouldn't be able to secure a job with only an NIIT certificate, you will also need a university degree to back it up.
How true is that?.

@Dclique
I think you should make a new trend for this your post,because it seems that nobody is checking out this trend.
Am also interested in learning from your topic.
Thx

Interested candidates should call Fred on 07062220549 or 07041714295. Our salary is very competitive

I attended NIIT after 10yrs of programming. I picked up programming during the ASUU strike in my 100level together with my roommate. It was just fun to us and I only used the help file in QBASIC, not even a book.
Even though I read Mechanical Engr, my first job was as a programmer just like my current. Going to NIIT was for the certificate after working for 5years, but I picked up a few things which helped my understanding of Oracle database and PL/SQL.

NIIT is not a bad school, but being a programmer requires your interest and passion.
Starting off on your own may be rough so I advice you get a mentor to guide you or a friend to program with, just try out things dont be afraid to fail many times. After you understand some basic things, then select a course you want to study at NIIT If you have the money. Else just get and read good books.
Wish you the best.
