It depends on how you present yourself . I attended a state university by even PhD holders from so called federal university can't stand on the same podium with me . You need to know your onions and have self esteem. Don't ever think someone is better than you. A pharmacist students are been taught same curriculum nationwide

Apology for any typographical error
As a job seeker or regular individual with a degree, have u ever been discriminated because of the kind of university you attended..or do u believe one can be discriminated not because of a CGPA or grade of degree but because of the kind of university he or she attended

With the huge competition in getting admitted to high ranked schools like UNILAG, UNN and the likes...

Are there a bit of disadvantage for students who end up switching to less competitive universities..

Am talking about schools like maybe Gombe state university to pursue probably a good course like pharmacy which they couldnt study in the high ranked schools and eventually come out with good results..

Quota system Universities aren't to be trusted. Once I see the university on application letters I dump it in the bin.

If it's not OAU, UNN, UniBen, Unilag, FUTO, FUTA, UI, Covenant, UniIlorin, Babcock and Yabatech please go and apply for tradermoni.

Well, all I can say is that if there's a job opening in nnpc, Exxon Mobile, agip and d likes, and a 3rd class geology graduate of oau applies for d job with his contemporaries with first class from other universities, that oau geology graduate would definitely av an upper hand and would be considered before d others

Some companies only recruit from certain universities for their graduate trainee programs. A top HR of one bank once mentioned it in a training i was attending.

Asour:


True.

All good though, they run their company.
While I'm not surprised about this(since those schools serve as a filter for these firms in recruiting in ways the bank is biased towards), it probably serves to prove a point I have observed: which is that, racism , while a terrible vice, is a scapegoat and all other forms of vices(classism, Ageism, lookism, tribalism,etc.) in the Prejudice family continue almost unnoticed.


The very HR/Top executive perpetuating such recruitment practices (who I'd assume is Nigerian)
could find herself abroad tomorrow in the US/Europe perhaps complaining about a prejudiced treatment meted out on him/her by those citizens. Forgetting about how he /she perpetuated the same back here.

Many Nigerians/Africans may never suffer racism in their lifetimes (especially because they would never leave the continent) but they'll suffer other prejudices in many ways back here.


May God help us.

If the competition for a job is too stiff, the employer may decide to use your university or qualification as a criteria.
for example, when my elder brother finished his program in OAU(obafemi awolowo uni), an opportunity presents itself and he applied.
he said almost 1000 graduates applied for the job. The employer conducted an exam for them and only 200 of them passed the exam.
a month after, the qualified applicants(200) went for second test. On getting to the venue, the employer just told them this: if you're finished from state universities or you have anything less than 2.1, pls go home. At this point, the applicants remained 52 as i was told by my brother. They then conducted another exam for the remaining 52 applicants, of which only 2 of them were employed. My brother and a lady.

no state universities allowed for their graduates trainees. Only federal unis in some places and covenant, babcock . It was sad and disgusting to hear

Must e an insecticide sales job. This story must've been from 1982. I've been working for more than 10 years and serious employers seek skill. Wen a KPMG says they want a 2:1 that's the criteria regardless of school attended.

NaWeDeyHere:


There are companies also using the JAMB admission cut-off mark to screen off candidates or graduates who attended Universities with very low low low academic standards. imagine one Yobe University who admit JAMB candidates with cut-off marks of 40 geting into government and private companies in Lagos where the cut-off marks are between 250 - 300

lastchild:
it's not true, no matter how you present yourself, the school you attended can bring down your rate.

that's just the Nigeria mentality, why do you think people run to Europe to study, despite that some schools in Europe can't be compared with "university of Ibadan" there's one in Belgium that their citizens mocks, but the moment a Nigerian graduated with 3rd class from such low rated University and comes back to Nigeria, automatically he supercedes a first class student in UI.

if you said you graduated from unilag, in their minds they'll always rate you higher than someone that graduated from "Nigerian international Atlantic something something university"

that's just the fact, no matter how you present yourself

so i advise people to go for notable universities, e get why
