These days even people who didn't attend a higher institution get Jobs ahead of the so-called graduates.

Now this is a completely different case, Most company do this to save cost. Its called cheap labor.

highland:

In some organisation it matters, but for me , the real things is ability to perform.

olajide_07:

yes it does in fact it plays one of the most important roles in respect of the grade a first class from abia state university and a second class upper from university of lagos can they be compared with the various penalties put before you can assess admission into these schools no just saying

Dstar4u:

Would the university you attend determine how good job offer you would see. For example, you studied in oau & osustech with the same grade & course

kokoye:

It could matter.

If you have schoolmates on the interview panel (and coursemates for that matter), they ought to naturally have a soft spot for you and that's a leg up. You may end up talking about life in the school or department instead of the actual interview . .and that's always a good thing.

The reason why ivy league schools are powerful is because they have their ex-students as the high and mighty in the big corporations.  These big men of course send such companies to their alma maters for recruitment.  That is really why people strive to get into such schools, apaprt from bragging rights, of course.

Not at all, your university education is what you make of it. University education is about your ability to use the research tools, intellect, and facilities available to you like the library and internet to improve yourself and prepare yourself for future opportunities.

@Jarus there are people in Unilag just making up the numbers. Attending a particular school will not simply expose you, you have to take advantage of the opportunities the university provides.

Agreeable. However, Jarus also made a good observation, taking into consideration the location of the school. Universities in the heart of cities have a tendency to expose the students to lives beyond the university environment. This, to an extent, helps in molding the student's personalities and worldview which is a vital component of university education.

You have a point. That's why UNILAG has the largest population runs girls in Nigeria.

why not tell him the truth? i presently work in a company where the university matters alot.Apart from graduates from abroad, my company only accept a minimum of second class upper from UNIBEN and OAU.

Yomit2:

In Nigeria university u attended doesnt determine d kind of job u get. It is often times based on your ability to pass aptitude test,how well u can prove urself in d interview and luck .
