Yes

Thanks

Saimeritus:
NYSC discharge certificate was thoroughly checked before the test.

Meaning those who didn't have it weren't allowed to write the test right??

BlackGoldBoy:
You have time.... they've not hit the labor market yet that's why they are sitting out MPNU test invite....na laff I dey laff....

Bro, it's not as if we want to happily miss the test.
We also know how the labour market is, and deep down we aren't happy that we'd miss such an opportunity.
It's just that we've been hearing that people without the NYSC discharge Certificate weren't allowed to write the test.
Or do you know anyone who was allowed to write the test?

sirusX:
You both can still go. All you need to do is make it in time for the morning session tomorrow and write with the first batch....then other CDS plans can follow

The test is worth a shot if you were invited

That's true!
The problem is we are hearing they are asking for the NYSC discharge Certificate, and those without it weren't allowed to write the exam.
I'm currently serving in Ibadan, if there's a possibility of them allowing us to come, I'd gladly come there tomorrow.
Or do you know anyone who was allowed to write the Test without the Discharge Certificate?

Diamondwriter:
Hey...
No I'm not. I'm supposed to write today, but since my chances of writing are slim, I chose to sit this one out and prep for kpmg.
How about you?

I'm also sitting it out

Diamondwriter:
Yes

Hi. Anything new and are you still going?

Saimeritus:
I pray. There is no harm in trying.

Hi. Anything new and are you still going?

Diamondwriter:
I rescheduled my test for 2pm on Thursday, Friday is clearance, and Saturday is KPMG test.

If I call on Monday and they say it's okay, I will try my luck after CDS. Tho it's kinda far from where I stay.

That means you are currently serving in Lagos right?

Saimeritus:
From keffi to Abuja.

Wow! Nice I just hope they won't change their mind that day

Diamondwriter:
Did you finally call them? It slipped my mind

Lol, guess we are in the same situation, I haven't called them either. Guess that would have to be on Monday

mos4phy:
Those saying that people without NYSC discharge certificate can still write the test would see what I was saying come test day.

So are you advising we shouldn't bother going?

Diamondwriter:
I have bro. It's on my next CDS date so I haven't really decided yet. How about you?

Mine actually fell on CDS day also, but, I rescheduled it to the next day. But, I'm still thinking if I'd go

Saimeritus:
I got their mail. I will be going for the test.

Ok, where'd you be coming from? or are you serving in Lagos?

Diamondwriter:
Lagos, I think I will.

Have you gotten any email from Dragnet, and are you still going for the exam?

Saimeritus:
100% sure.

Have you gotten any email from Dragnet, and are you still going for the exam?

AbdulhafizBajeh:
Please do you have any idea when the test will be scheduled to take place??

No, I don't.

tempest01:
there is no engineering technical questions. Skills test will come later

Please, How's the skill test like?
What kind of questions are usually asked?

EngrVin:
I remember my friends traveling from Kaduna to Lagos for nlng exams but weren't allowed entrance cos of nysc discharge

When was that?, and if you're in our shoes, what are you going to do?

Diamondwriter:
Mine's June

Where's your preferred centre and would you be going?

mos4phy:
Are you sure you made it clear the situation. I don't think that would be the case oh. From the inside info i have. If you aren't with your Certificate, you wouldn't be allowed to write it as stated on ExxonMobil's terms

Alright.
So what would you advise we Corpers do??
Should we just try our luck or we shouldn't bother at all, what's your take?

Saimeritus:
I call dragnet, they replied in affirmative that we will be allowed to write the test since we have been invited. When is your POP?

Wow! please, are you sure??

Diamondwriter:
I will call them..

Please, let me know whatever they tell you. Thanks

Diamondwriter:
I'd like to go but I would like to find out from them if we will be allowed in

Maybe you should call the dragnet helplines, guess they might be of help, just to hear what they'd say.
I'd do the same over here.

Diamondwriter:
I'd like to go but I would like to find out from them if we will be allowed in

With what I've been hearing, we might not be allowed to take the exam.
Except, you just want to try if you'd be lucky.
What have you heard so far?

Diamondwriter:
We are in similar situations.. Where's ur preferred test center at?

Lagos, and you?
BTW, are you also planning on going or are you thinking of not going?

Good evening everyone, please, what of people who presently don't have the NYSC discharge Certificate but would round up by March.
Is there any hope that they would be allowed to write the exam?
Your replies would be much appreciated,
Thanks.
