Pls what did they mean by first sitting and second sitting in the application form...........didn't quite understand!

They are referring to the number of times you wrote waec, if you made it the first time you wrote it, then leave the second sitting blank

modupeola007:
@gegyna,I just hope that whatever criteria they will be using for the admission we'll all be chosen by God's grace!
This one that they said we don't need to submit our transcript until after we've been offered admission,how do they know people who are eligible or not? Only God knows the criteria they would be using sha! It is well!!! Please if by any means you have something very important to share or an information you want to pass across concerning this admission process, please don't hesitate to let me know on this forum. Thanks and God bless you!

I would advise you to send your transcript to uniben as soon as possible although it is subject to debate

worth:

Yes they do

I don't know if I have made a mistake cos I have read it here wer so many are talking about uploading their credentials. Help please.
Please help me ooo, and do I submit my credentials and the reference form before 30thsept?

Afternoon, you are not to submit your credentials yet. You submit after admission. Keep your reference form till after admission. You may post your transcript now or hold it

Electrical electronic engineering. But I'm yet to conclude on that though. My first degree is in electrical electronic engineering but I've been working in the banking industry for more than 5 years now. I'm a bit confused. What do you advise?.

It depends on what ur plan is, do you plan on continuing in the banking industry or you want to go into engineering field

ajeleseujn:
@adibo, good afternoon. Please, is there any assistance you can render on how to get past questions on economics?

.
I can't really say, the one I bought is not relevant to me. Although, I asked some present eco. Masters students and they gave me a breakdown of the areas they normally set from for economics entrance exam. I also heard that they sell at uniben, but I have not been able to confirm if ecostat is available

[quote author=desyworld post=37633511][/quote]What I have is hardcopy, quite bulky. Anyway, I will try to scan the most recent year and send to you later in the evening. But, remember, the most recent one I have is 2010 past question, so I dnt know if they have changed the format.

desyworld:
Anyone applying for MBA here. need some tips and how to prepare for the entrance exam

I have MBA past questions, although the most recent year is 2009/2010 session

ajoskele:
Brotherly, morning.

NOTE: I never buy form, buh I get FAITH!!

@brightballer, let's hook bro. Where are you?

Hahaha, very funny. Well, the just shall live by faith, God will confirm it

ajoskele:
Morning guys..I noh fit sleep..


Plenty tinx just dey ma mind.

Morning, things like what?

Those applying for foundation programme (jupeb), the form now expires on the 9th of September and the exam is on the 26th of September

forku56:
Pls any info on d entrance exam date? Pls u shud help in keeping us posted on recent developments cos some of us are outside edo state. Thanks

No information yet but judging from past sets. Some will write in October, others November, December.

It seems my school made a mistake in the date of birth in my transcript, they turned me from a youth to a 43 year old man (1972), which is different from my age on my application slip and other supporting documents. It has already been posted to uniben. Will it have any effect? Or do I need to ask the school to send another one?

psalmsyn4qrs:
Please have you also gotten you original certificate, cos i only have the statement of result, pls if you've gotten yours, how did you go about it. Thanks

Yes I have. Someone did it for me while I was in service, so I dnt know the precise steps but it is still very similar to d transcript method. The cost varies according to year of graduation

psalmsyn4qrs:
I'm also a graduate of AAU, Pls, how did you go about your transcript and how long did it take. Could you pls mail me your number, here's my mail, www.samsyn@hotmail.com

It is quite easy, pay 6k bank draft in the bank, convert it to receipt at bursary, then take the receipt to registrar's block, they will give you a form there which you are to take to your department, the department secretary will then type your transcript and later forward it back to the same registrar's office, that is the final bus stop, they will post it from there.
The time depends on several factors, some who used parents did theirs in less than two weeks, mine took almost a month

ajeleseujn:
Fellow economist..

Greetings my rational fellow

mcshegs:
Wat specialization pls ??
I want to apply for economics too.
And pls can we bring transcripts alongside d referee form for submission or transcripts shld be brought down first??

I applied for econometrics, d referee form will be submitted during clearance. The issue of transcript is open to debate, a fellow brother here advises that we hold the transcript for now and submit it during clearance, but as for me, I have done mine and will be posted to uniben next week. So, it is up to you to choose

forku56:
Good morning, pls (1) is d skl fee of 120-160 to be paid once? (2) does this fee cover for d 2-4 semesters or for just a semester? (3) pls how does d entrance exam look like, is it smtin we shud study hard for, cos some of us are busy with work now. Dis wud help knw if we shud put more time revising. Thanks

ajeleseujn:
In reference to 2014/2015 postgraduate thread, there was nothing like past questions for departments conducting the test. What I also observed from the thread was that the test comprises of 100 questions: 50 questions on English and the other 50 questions on your course.

Okay thanks

[quote author=Senator060 post=37314355][/quote]I actually have reasons for doubting the Past question. I stay close to Benin, so i asked a friend in Benin to buy it for me and send it to me, it was 1,500 naira. On getting it, it was not what i expected, the most recent year is 2009/2010 questions.
Also, the mode of questions seem different, the questions were of three types (General Paper, English and Quantitative methods 50 questions each, making a total of 150 questions). This is contrary to what i read in the Uniben Postgraduate 2014/2015 thread, because those who wrote last year, said it was just 50 questions taken from their course of study. I guess they have changed their pattern of questions.
So, since i bought it, i have not actually used it, so i dnt end up wasting my time

Henrrique:
Pls is this application still on going??

Yes, it expires on the 30th of September

seco50:
OMG. I just found out I made an error. After submitting my application form I discovered I filled my first name as SUUNY instead of SUNNY. can it be rectified? **Please advise**

It cannot be changed online, you may be able to change it at Postgraduate office in Uniben
