I admire the thought to your words, it really would be a welcome development, cz I have also pondered on ways to give students a chance for multiple applications to different schools

But...back to the statement in bold

If a large portion of students accept a particular school and forgo others...there is no assurance that the school can occupy them all, and that would leave them hanging

This is when cut off mark comes in to play

It’s really sad that after 38 years of setting up the Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB), she’s still on the quest to getting it right. It hurts when I see bright minds deprived of the opportunity to further their education largely due to the incompetence of the examination body. A question always pop into my mind: “Can’t we just scrap this system?”

Here is my view of what I feel should be the way forward

JAMB really needs to look beyond conducting examination. She should serve more as a portal that connects the students with the tertiary institutions. What do I mean by this, students should only register through JAMB having meet up with the requirements laid down by the body and their credentials should be forwarded to the institutions for the admission process
The system should be done in such a way that a candidate can only choose a max. of 5 institutions. The payment method should also be a factor of the number of schools chose. The minimum could be 2 institution costing N4,000 flat. An addition of extra school determines how much you eventually pay. E.g. For every extra school pick, you pay an addition of 1,000 to the 4,000 flat. Access the website, fill up the number of institutions interested, print out the transcript, go to the nearest bank to pay, collect your pin and finally logon to begin your application. This will reduce the cost of printing scratch card which does not even sale for the exact amount in some part of the country. Some agents go the length of adding extra N300 before purchasing the card from them.


Once the application is closed for the year, JAMB should then sit down and process the various entries. A centralized timetable will then be designed for the conduct of the exam. Candidate who chose UI and other schools for example might take the other school’s (UniZik, FUTMINNA, IMSU and AAUA) exam first before taking that of UI’s depending on the calendar drafted. If a candidate who chose UNIBEN logon for the exam, he would be redirected to UNIBEN’s question which was set by the school herself.


This means JAMB technically have no question but serve as a middleman between the school and the candidate. This is where University standard come in to play. OAU’s questions might be more challenging compared to University of Uyo and students who wishes to attend OAU have to prepare very well.


After the examination, either the school/JAMB can mark (objectives) depending on the agreement reached and the result is then forwarded to the institutions. The result will then determine the cut-off mark to be used by the institution.
If for example, a candidate made it in to 3 of the 5 schools selected, he has the period of a month to accept just one of it creating vacuum for another potential candidate at the school he rejected.
This will balance the population across the institutions in Nigeria.

Pls who can post the one of Exonmobil here . I mean their application procedures.

@Akby

For the ExxonMobil, the application has closed already for this year but i'll still drop the process. You will need to download a scanned application form from the internet. Just Google 400L ExxonMobil SIWES and you'll see the link to download the form. Fill up the form and attach the necessary documents which includes: Passport photograph, IT letter etc (Can't remember all but it is well stated on the form).

The form should be addressed and sent to the address you'll see online. I sent it from a post office (Registered mail @ N450 to Akwa Ibom within 4 days). Other options are at the post office but use the registered mail instead because it is faster and very reliable. That's all

You will be contacted for the exam either in Lagos, Abuja or Port Harcourt depending on your location. If you pass the exam, you'll proceed to the phone interview. That's the whole process. I was later contacted for the medicals and i got in. It was just God because about 6,000 of us applied and they only picked 32 of us all over the country. I'm not discouraging you guys but give it a shot. God will surely favour us all.

Thank you

Anybody interested in Chevron? Got an info from a close friend on how to go about it

Hi guys, sorry for my mate replies. First, that you applied and none called you doesn't mean they won't if they need your service. Just be more patient and watch out for a reply from them. I applied to sooo many and got calls from few/some. A friend applied like mine and didn't even get any either. The labour market is very competitive and you just have to present yourself in a convincing way. Maybe it was my CV that helped or cover letter but I know God factor played a very much important role.
I could upload a sample of my CV and cover letter for you guys to have a feel of what really convinces people our there (later things).
I got ExxonMobil, Aviat Networks, one Vsat company like that can't remember the name and Schneider electric. I'm very much okay with ExxonMobil so no point searching anymore.
Will surely keep updating once I see any new opening tho.
Thanks

Computer science

I really can't pinpoint any particular place since computer science is wide. Just use Google judiciously to settle yourself. It's not just about any option now, it's about where you want to go that will satisfy you. If you know any, check for their address. If you don't, Google list of so so so in Nigeria. Your problem should be solved

adabsmith:
Please can you give me some company names that replied you that they needed IT student?

Electrical engineering student?

Hi guys, the surest way to get any IT placement is to apply manually. The online platform works fine if the company itself rolls out an application portal.
For the manual process, all you need do is Google the company you are interested and copy their contact address. Forward your IT Letter, CV and Cover Letter at the post office or physical drop and you are good to go.
It costs a token of N100 to send these documents (after weighing) to any state within the country (NIPOST). That's all. Just get enough company list and forward your credentials.
I get loads of calls from various companies saying i should come over for interview few weeks before starting the IT.

Hope this helps a fellow student
Thanks

Mobil has called the successful candidate for the IT. I got a call few weeks ago after the exams to verify my credentials and asked some questions. Just yesterday, I got another message saying I should come for the medicals at Akwa Ibom on 5th of April. Here is the content of the latest message Good Day.

If you are having reservation,why not enrol for Univ of Ibadan Distance Learning or Univ of Lagos Distance Learning as well.Those two institutions have a pedigree for providing lifelong education for workers and adult.Besides their Cert is the same as the full time,Ie conventional mode of learning.I am proud Graduate of Ui Dlc.

Are you saying no DLC stuff on your cert? I'm a student of UI tho and a bit sceptical when I see people following that line. Also you guys go for NYSC?
