@kadata no probs. Thanks sha i was admitd based on d merit list. And i dnt hav my original waec certif yet wat do i do now.

Use whatever you have- It would be accepted for now. But there'd be another screening while you're in final year which must require your WAEC Certificate.
Best of luck.

Miatha:
@KADATA no am nt ,am a student but ve a cousin who is also expecting d suplmentary list and since am in Lag on hols decided 2ask here. @Greatdesi, acomodatn forms will be out 4 freshmen immediately school resume(abt 9k).

@bolded
^^
I'd look out for you then. Jux bookmark this thread. As at yesterday, I didn't see such- (I went to attend to some issues).

Mattex001:
thanks @kadata 4 dat info i hav bein finking bout dat isuue 4 eva. Thanks. Re u also admitd drop your numba nd lets talk, ,

I was admitted years back. I'm a student of the dept. of Med&Surg. there. We can continue here on nairaland--dropping my digits here could be quite risky. Or better still , you can reach me - matata4mbbs@yahoo.com

Greatdesi:
I heard resumption date is 7/3/2011.About accommodation how do we got about it cuz I' would like to stay on campus

That wouldn't be a problem at all. When school resumes and you are screened :

¤you'd pick the accomodation form at the office of the Dean of Student Affairs.
Note: The Dean doesn't issue the forms. His office does - so you don't get yourself embarrassed. Or better still, ask where it is issued[b] after you've been screened[/b].

¤After submission, go to the bank(which would be specified by then) and pay the accommodation fees.

¤Change the accommodation fees teller to receipt at the office of the Finance Officer in your Faculty.

¤Then head back to where you submitted your accomodation form and show them the receipt of the accommodation fees.

¤You'd then be issued a room.
Good luck

Computer Science vs Computer
Engineering
What is computer science?
Computer science (CS) is the
systematic study of algorithmic
methods for representing and
transforming information,
including their theory, design,
implementation, application, and
efficiency. The discipline
emerged in the 1950s from the
development of computability
theory and the invention of the
stored-program electronic
computer. The roots of computer
science extend deeply into
mathematics and engineering.
Mathematics imparts analysis to
the field; engineering imparts
design. The main branches of
computer science are the
following:
Algorithms is the study of
effective and efficient
procedures of solving
problems on a computer.
Theory of computation
concerns the meaning and
complexity of algorithms and
the limits of what can be
computed in principle.
Computer architecture
concerns the structure and
functionality of computers
and their implementation in
terms of electronic
technologies.
Software systems is the study
of the structure and
implementation of large
programs. It includes the
study of programming
languages and paradigms,
programming environments,
compilers, and operating
systems.
Artificial intelligence concerns
the computational
understanding of what is
commonly called intelligent
behavior and the creation of
artifacts that exhibit such
behavior.
Other important topics in
computer science include
computer graphics, databases,
networks and protocols,
numerical methods, operating
systems, parallel computing,
simulation and modeling, and
software engineering.
What is computer engineering?
Computer engineering (CEN) is
the design and prototyping of
computing devices and systems.
While sharing much history and
many areas of interest with
computer science, computer
engineering concentrates its
effort on the ways in which
computing ideas are mapped
into working physical systems.
Emerging equally from the
disciplines of computer science
and electrical engineering,
computer engineering rests on
the intellectual foundations of
these disciplines, the basic
physical sciences and
mathematics. The main branches
of computer engineering are the
following:
Networks is concerned with
design and implementation of
distributed computing
environments, from local area
networks to the World Wide
Web.
Multimedia computing is the
blending of data from text,
speech, music, still image,
video and other sources into a
coherent datastream, and its
effective management,
coding-decoding and display.
VLSI systems involves the
tools, properties and design
of micro-miniaturized
electronic devices (Very Large
Scale Integrated circuits).
Reliable computing and
advanced architectures
considers how fault-tolerance
can be built into hardware
and software, methods for
parallel computing, optical
computing, and testing.
Other important topics in
computer engineering include
display engineering, image and
speech processing, pattern
recognition, robotics, sensors
and computer perception.
Should I pursue computer
science or computer
engineering?
Scientists and engineers are both
interested in the nature of
things, in understanding how
ideas and objects in the world fit
together. But in general, they
seek to understand the nature of
reality with different ends in
mind: the scientist seeks this
understanding as an end in itself,
the engineer in order to build
things. Thus CS is closer to the
underlying theory of
computation, with its roots in
mathematics, and CEN is closer to
the design of physical devices,
with roots in physics and
chemistry as well. Students with
an urge to build things, to
measure how things work in the
laboratory, those attracted to
physics and chemistry as well as
mathematics, should seriously
consider CEN. Students with an
interest in the true nature of
symbols, information and their
manipulations, the forms and
limits of algorithms and data
structures, should consider CS. Of
the three great divisions in
computing, namely theory,
software and hardware, to a first
approximation theory goes with
CS, hardware with CEN, and
software with both, but mainly
with CS. The more general the
software, the closer to CS; the
more hardware-specific, the
closer to CEN. Thus a student
interested in creating his own
new general-purpose computer
language would best be served
by a CS degree program, while
one interested in designing a
software interface for a new
high speed serial device by the
CEN degree program. Students
undecided between the CS and
CEN programs are urged to
discuss the matter in depth with
academic advisors within the CSE
department, the College of Arts
and Sciences (which administers
the CS programs), and the School
of Engineering and Applied
Sciences (which administers the
CEN program).

where luvola when you need ha/him??

I wrote the November /December WASSCE in year 2008 and up on till now , I'm not in possession of my certificate. How long does it take WAEC to release its certificates?? Or yet still, has the 2008 Nov/Dec Certificates been released?

Reasonable replies awaited. And scammers--pls keep off!!!

Amadi or whatever your nomenclature sounds like, the University of Uyo is neither a habitation nor a consortium for half-baked, retarded, unscrupulous and ill-fit creatures whose frontal lobe lie close to the coccyx as you are. So I'd advise that next time you try scamming, ring your bells where your victims can detect its frequency with greater ease.
*sighs*

@Mattex
the university of uyo will still issue you an admission letter. So I guess, that may cover it.
Screening and Registration of freshers will start when the University resumes the session ,which has already been dealt with.

@Miatha

the supplementary list is still awaited. From indications, you seem to part of us-- the list will surely be released. Why it is taking time is because a good number candidates who may have deserved to be admitted had issues with their post-utme results , which the school is to blame. And as a moral obligation, the university via the Dean of Student Affairs, Prof. Effiong Johnson, promised all aggrieved candidates that their results would be released, and if found meritorious, would be admitted. So might take a considerable length of time- which most has been spent already.

^^
I don't think an e-mail may get you the response in the time desired. One thing in Naija university system is that there is hierarchy. And the higher the hierarchy, the more likely it is that you'd get 'answers'. I'd give you two options--
option 1[/b]try to make contacts with medical students already in the system, say 300level+ , and ascertain whether it is obtainable for your school- and the conditions attached thereof. They may give you some info and you may likely proceed to step2.

[b]Step2
As you rightly said before, the registrar is a good place to start. If you get to see him , ask him about 'the necessary guidelines and conditions' concerning inter-university transfer, especially to the dept of Med&Surg. . This is because the rules always tend to differ or get stricter when Med&surg dept is concerned (as obtainable in my school). If he has the required information and gets you satisfied , then applause. If not , I'd advice you to proceed to the dept of Med&Surg and seek to see the MBBS co-ordinator or the head of department. This is where your patience would likely be necessary because it would. If you aren't able to see him/her as the case may be, then I'd advice you to look out for the Secretary to the College of Health Sciences.
Wish you goodluck.

Idyllic:
My fellow medical students, pls I need your help! I just gained admission into O.O.U to study Medicine, but due to some reasons I want to cross(INTER UNIVERSITY TRANSFER) to University of Ibadan after my first year and[b] I don't have any idea how to make this happen, not even how to get the form, 100 level CGPA required, connection required not to talk of when the processing normally commence.[/b] Pls no matter how insignificant what you know may seem try to contribute, it will go a long way to help me. May God reward you handsomely as you share. Thanks.

I believe you have to know the University rules and regulations concerning inter-university transfer and more specifically into the dept of Med&Surg. You may need to go to the school and find things out for yourself.
And btw- I think U-I- only admits graduates of para-medical disciplines into Med&Surg. 200level.

[size=8pt]My dear Medics,
do you think you will practice in Nigeria at the end of your training. If you will, why? and if you won't, why not?[/size]

I want to take this poser from a perspective. To me, they're two perspectives on why a Nigerian medical student would want to practice in Nigeria or outside. On one, I would practice in Nigeria, if and only if the system improves- that's if we have one at all. Outside that, I'd be banking ashores. By the way, I have some MBs to pass before thinking of this anyway.

If I were yhu, I'd opt for Mech. Engine @ Federal Poly Nekede for professional reasons.

^^
I still remain impressed by the responses gotten on this thread, considering the fact that a similar step was taken in the past and it met with abysmal failure.
I've seen Medics all over Nigeria here who are above 1st MB. Having identified early preparation as a factor, what other factors could exist that could help us thrive? Your responses are highly appreciated.

That should be when school resumes. Yet still, get your acceptance fee ready =>just 10grand.

Buying all these books isn't necessary. You'd only need a few based on advice from senior colleagues and your lecturers' recommendations. And based on your understanding too.

danbas,

your effort in starting this thread is well appreciated. My interest is rather in scholarships. I did Mobil2010, and my name came out- did/have you done it before? If yes, what is their terms/conditions with respect to medics- considering the fact that we don't use c.g.p.a ?

Hello Medics,
I'm Ema. Just finished pre-med. yr from Univ. Of Uyo. Pre-clinicals would be starting by March.

gud thread,

hope people are responding,

hopefully

medical students are too busy

Why would someone compare Medicine&Surgery with IT. Yes, I agree that they are two indispensable fields , if mankind must make headway, but the comparison thereof is just uncalled for. Let me give you guys an insight into medical school.
After the pre-medical year, medical students go over to pre-clinicals. This stage lasts for 18months<in Nigeria> and it is here that medics delve into anatomy , biochem, and physiology. Meanwhile, other students studying these individual courses for their first degrees are using 4 years each. But medics use 18months of their schooling to complete the same course content as them ---4years*3 =12years.
What more stress could anyone ask for?
IT could be difficult. Yes. But Medicine aint beans either.

I know that starting a topic for this is kind of irrelevant, but I need help all the same. I wanted to find out if undergraduates of Medicine/Surgery in Nigerian Universities are eligible to apply for the ptdf scholarship or is it only limited to courses in the oil and gas sector. Helpful replies are seriously appreciated.

Ups guys!! I made the list too. How about our letters @eddie30 & vickipad ? Received yours yet?

How many yhu don claim? Go sleep 4 ground jooooorr
