The France People are coming back.

Not true the only thing that count in the Labour Market here in France is your class of degree.
Example of you graduate from that your unknown University with First class you will get better job than a graduate of Unilag or UI, or Unimaid or ABU or UNN.
Fact.


Haba where did u study?
Do u understand what "I have no idea"? Actually mean?

Please Is This True About Private Universities?

Good morning everyone, please Is it true that if one attends a private University if not covenant that it will be hard getting a job later on in future as most companies only accept graduates from good public universities and then for private if not covenant universe then forget it?


I am asking this question because I didn't pass this year's jamb so I decided to enroll in a private University around my region, Delta state, the University is western delta university but lots of people discouraging me that private uni is only good for girls and not boys, to make matter worst my sisters said most good paying company only accept graduates from covenant only if it's not public uni,

please I need advise from experienced ones here, if I enroll in this private uni will I have a hard time securing a job later on in future?

Dts a lie, once a uni can mobilize you for nysc program then u r good.

Hello, don't go to university to search for a job, Go to university , get knowledge and employ people.

I graduated from Unzik 8 years ago, I never worked for someone,rather I saved money and opened my own business, now I have 14 workers whom I am paying salaries every month.

The mentality of some Nigerians is to get express work after graduation. Thus making us to be lazy and visionless.

Where the problem comes in is majorly MBBS. The hard truth is, Doctors from private universities are not too regarded where Doctors from public universities are especially in job placement. There are exceptions though.
whats your field and why do you think so?

In addition to what others have said, don't restrict yourself to just Nigeria. You could decide to do masters overseas or similar, so you need to ensure these institutions are recognized outside the country as well.

Guy private universities are fuckingly recognised, go for the best eg Igbinedion university, cu, babcock,Biu etc....
Atleast someone failed in Igbinedion but made first class in a public university,

A certain time we had mock trials back then we killed unn students, them no sabi for law at all...
Igbinedion has made ist class in law school, how many private universities have tried that,or how many public uni can confidently boast of a ist class in law school...

Op, to tell you the truth, most Nigerians esp the youths are hypocrites. I can assure you most ppl bashing the private unis do so out of jeleousy, most of them cant afford the money to be trained in such unis coz they are expensive. Nigerians would complain that the universities are not enuf nd there is so much burden on the public schools, and private unis are springing up to lessen such burden, but instead of them to support and encourage the universities theyll keep critcizing. Some of the so called public uni are even delapidated. I was in the medical hostel of the so called great uniben and the place was a disaster. The thing is that most of the people that attended these private unis dnt even give a sh¡t abt these criticisms, when they are done with sch, majority try to leave the country to further their studies, while most of the critics are still in the public schls studying a course they neva wanted to study after spending majority of their youthfull years pursuing admission into the so called decayed public instituitions where they are treated as slaves, as if slavery equates quality education.

well, some yrs ago, I was working under one accountant in a small firm in lag. When I told him I wanted to write JAMB he sat me down and advised me abt choice of school. He told how he felt dehumanised wen he went for one interview. He said they first called d major public schools and later packed d rest of then together in one category called "others". Of course less than 5% of the "others" were considered

Graduating from Covenant or Bowen university doesn't guarantee you a job. Right now it's not even about having an MSc degree in this country. The country is fvcked up. Except you are from an influencial home then your getting a job is sure. If you are from an average home likes me then you better pray for a miracle to get a job in this dying country after you graduate.
Shut up!

Lyoncrescent:
To be honest, this public vs private uni debate is far drawn. My simple advice is try and get quality professional certificates in your field. Some public universities will swear they have the best LAW faculties yet when they meet babcock law students in Law school, they discover they are also equally good. If you go to babcock or unilag to study accounting, try your best to have your ICAN or ACCA by the time you graduate. Same thing with professional IT certifications. Gone are the days employers have perception towards particular universities. Now its about your individual abilities and qualifications. I work with brilliant graduates from Adeleke university and Joseph Ayo Babalola university just like i have colleagues from Ambrose Ali University and IMSU who are also brilliant and good at what they do.

In conclusion,every university in Nigeria is below par. Take any subject field in the world and No Nigerian university is in the top 30 in any field. That alone says all universities are crap here and thus only individual abilities matter. It is as bad as the admission process. Do you know that if you are in the UK and you want to do a Masters degree in UNILAG, you must physically come to Nigeria to write exam and do other things ?Whereas if you are in Nigeria and want to do masters in UK, all na online things. Even babcocks website is one of the worst university websites known to man and last i checked it used a run down theme with 2015 listed at the bottom of the website. No information on research being done, faculty and departmental information and other things all missing. God help us.

That's not true....Private University graduates get solid jobs too. it's all about YOU. A few companies recruited recently and a large chunk of their intakes were graduates from Bowen, Caleb, CU, Babcock, Crawford and the likes... with a few from public schools. Sooo... it's about who u really are not by Uni whatever.

Like I said earlier, it depends on the schools. It's not a private university vs public university thing in general as you may feel. And even the school don't matter as much as the individual in question.
