Blackmiserable:
Thank you very much for clicking, hahaha. So I was one point short of a 3rd class; 2.5 on the dot, hahaha. I finished from one of the recognized universities in this country. I read mathematics at the Bsc level and thinking of furthering in same at the masters level and that's about it. However, I have questions to enable me make the right decisions.

1) Do all the schools in the subject (Unilorin, Unilag, UI, LASU, UniPort, ABU, UNN and UNIBEN) admit Masters students yearly? That's quite ignorant but I'm asking because I am not sure.

2) I'll be rounding off service by July 2019 and I'm hard pressed: I wouldn't want to waste time at home if the job is not forthcoming, so which of these unis would still be selling form by June/July (I don't want to spend Dec at home) ? Asking because I need to tender my NYSC discharge certificate which is not ready! Do I need to tender stuffs like primary and secondary school certificates in the process?

3) Since I don't have up to 3.0, do I stand a chance without going the PGD route? If yes, which recognized first-generation federal university (anywhere in the south west or east, lol, I don't care) ? If no, which ones on the list?

4) Will you kindly tell me when forms for the university masters in 2019 will be on sale? Any idea?

Thanks guy, I really appreciate.

1) Almost all Nigeria universities admit yearly though some department or option in the sch may not be available yearly
but Pg form na yearly tin
and if a particular course or options isn't available for a particular year the sch will not advertise it ..so ensure u read advert before u apply

2) u can always google for when form will be out .. that information is online. u can even register on one of the many blogs for quick notification. And yes u need ur Waec its very important+ degree result and certificate of local government of origin + Nysc+ birth certificate + at least 3 referees. All might not be needed, each sch has its own requirement ..so get those ready ( primary sch result isn't really important as much as no)
However, some schs may allow u to buy d form and present d aforementioned only after admission
3). 2.5 is second class lower that's the minimum for admission into any MSC program in any Nigeria university. so forget watin anybody dey tell. though it is true, when they have many applicants, they will have to admit those with better CGPA first. otherwise 2.5 is a goal( u can check online for schs were u will stand a beta chance).....maths is relative fast in all Nigeria universities.. so any should do
4) Dude those are information you can get online urself ..google am

not here to make any case for Etx. They also delayed me for about 8 months or so. However, the truth is that its the school not ETX
Etx can't have ur transcript and not send it. I did a thorough investigation on this, so i am sure of what I'm saying
Etx has their own problems too with their lacklustre attitude, but a bulk the of it, is from the school
And in school like Uniben u have to enforce Servicom rule on them strictly, if u wish to get ur transcript on time
That's how I was able to get my transcript to the ETX desk after about 8months (took me just a week with servicom after I'd waited for 8months and its free) and it took less that 48hours for Etx to have it delivered

Etx actually mean well, Nigeria universities are frustrating their efforts

Many days for the Ole but one day for the Gunner���

do you need tutors

it depends on ur life's goal!! really
what do you want?
with the job will you get to where u want to be?
with the master will you get to where u wanna be
these are d questions u need to answer


and don't listening to that man above me
he knows nothing of what he's saying

sometin DAT you will have to pay up to 25k to see ur certificate wanne calm down I beg

Unseriousboy:
What are u saying? What's the synonym of underappreciated n underutilized?

No broda it isn't useless!!; u can Neva replace underutilized with useless Those courses are never useless in Nigeria it is Nigeria that is useless to those courses

That my man is the real point and not the other way How can you be studying Botany and still feel the course is useless
ur mindset is freaking weird

Unseriousboy:
Looking at it from the standpoint of Nigeria's educational system, both of them are useless in naija(let's be realistic)
Just be excellent n explore other areas while in school,work hard to attain this unique form of excellence that will make u stand different among your peers.
As long as we don't give up, we'll definitely succeed.
Note:I'm also a botany student

Useless damn menh
agreed the aforementioned courses are highly underappreciated and underutilized in Nigeria and securing a job may be somewhat hard, as is every course in this country right now, if I may add
But useless?
if you, as a botany student think zoology and botany are useless in Nigeria. my broda you need to evaluate and reevaluate what you know

blarhze:
Okay o
The people who got mails all got below 65%??
Please do you know people with 70% and above

yeah all my guys that gat the invite, non was above 64
.....I haven't seen any 70% oh, let alone any that was invited o.... You are the highest i have seen so far

From what I can see those among the first 300 have gotten the mail. Only the winners have not been invited. cos all my friends have gotten the mail( I have not gotten the mail and I score below 50). I think only those that scored somewhere between 65 and above who are likely going to be the winners have not gotten the mail.


buh let's keep our fingers crossed though maybe more mails will come

blarhze:
I had 71.99%

It is divided into 3 sessions - catch it soon and innovative ideas.
On catch it soon, letters or the mixture of letters and numbers will be displayed and you'll be asked to memorize and recite it after a given period of time.
On innovative ideas, it is either you present and defend an innovative project or you write an essay on any of the topics that will be given to you.
Good luck.

Thank you sir

Stephaustin:
Fear not.
Attend the finals at your venue.
I made it to the finals, but my school is in South South zone. So, we had our exams at Faculty of Engineering, Uniben.

I attended the final round. The contest is really legit. There is no scam about it.

what were the questions like?

I made the final too....will you come

Just call servicom and provide them all this your details ( as long as you are sure you don't have any problem with the school). Something will be done about it and its free of charge. Transcript processing should not exceed 21 days, that's servicom law.

After battling with my school and etx-ng for almost 5months. Someone told me about servicom and i reported the issue to them. Lo and behold I gat my transcript delivered within 2weeks
Although the school didn't find the issue funny with me... I really can't go into detail but try servicom

Trust me it always happens to almost all final year students especially those below 25. so don't take it too personally.
I remember missing out on almost all my final year test and group assignments. My own problem started when it became clear to me, that no matter how hard I read I was never going to make 1:1. Reading became pointless to me.. I literarily started balling, a lot of mixed feelings set in and all I wanted was to graduate as soon as possible so I can get the freak out of the hellside school


Buh hey I still gat to maintain my standard there and then and I'm sure u've gat a standard to maintain too
let ur set standard become ur motivation

U must maintain ur standard. if not you will be disappointed with yours when you set eyes on your transcript

Wait !!! which university you say be the most sought after in Africa?
op u get fever

he should go to jamb office I don't see y dis isn't solvable

I gat the invite too. Is anyone coming from Auchi 07033883111

I will go for a scholarship foundation that is associated with a particular school/ schools... its always better that way

plus you can start with me
in dire need of a master scholarship

Jman06:
Op I must be realistic with you. Your best bait is to go for your masters and PhD so you can become a lecturer. Along the line, take up teaching jobs in sec schools to support yourself financially and also do a diploma in education to give you an edge.

Prepare your mind for the above while you pray for a miracle to happen along the way so you can probably land a job in other big organizations.

Don't listen to anybody telling you that you will work as medical representative! You have no knowledge of pharmacology and no good pharmaceutical company will employ you for such because the job requires a sound knowledge of pharmacology to deliver. There are medical detailing to be done, clinical meetings and so on. You need to convince the doctors and healthcare professionals on why they should prescribe your drugs. Good companies know that only pharmacists are in a position to do that job. That is why they spend money to employ pharmacists for the role. Only poor companies, mostly one-man businesses who cannot afford to pay pharmacists would employ just anybody to pay them peanuts. I was once a victim of such poor companies and so i am advising you from experience. Follow my advice above or write JAMB to choose a better course. A word is enough for the wise!

very good write up...... aside the write jamb and choose a better course part. Trust me this is Nigeria.. No course is guaranteed anymore though some are advantageous no doubt
But if you love Biology..then get you Bsc-stamp it with an Msc and then crown it with PhD..the good thing is you will have to spend roughly the same time it takes an average Nigerian student to get an MBBS ..to also get those.. most especially if you get money for a private university
knowledge is still power...get loads of it
and the world we look for you
wish you success.... #from an upcoming biologist �

Mankia:
Hello Any update on aptitude test result or invitation for interview?

nothing o...I even sent an email requesting for update ...buh no reply

I personally prefer marine biology, as Nigeria has a lots of water bodies for projects and other studies ..and most sch has analyzing equipments, so u won't have to spend much on travelling around Nigeria ,looking for a well stocked lab.. cell biology and genetics on the other hand can be very tacky in Nigeria ..u will not be able to do research in some area, as the equipments/apparatus are not in d country or the ones available are very crude. But which ever one you go for is great. However Nigeria has a lot of hydrobiologist and marine biologist, we need more geneticist and cytologist.

MrKaplan:
