You cannot work as an Engineer!!

If you can switch and you think you can cope , please do.

You can work anywhere with a Mechanical Engineering degree, Even in a hospital.

Cheers!

Mcpat I believe your post should have gone to the literature section particularly the poems for review section.

This is clearly prose poetry in action.
Thanks bro, I think it would have done better there. Romancelanders had problems with reading the long text

FYI, I'll date a man who reads because I read myself and what's more important than finding a partner with whom you share common traits.
What an ardent reader you are!

RomanceDont Date A Man Who Reads!!! by mcpat(op): 1:33am On Dec 27, 2015
Don’t date a man who reads. He will be interesting. Your romantic dates will be like Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Your late night conversation will take hours to end. He will throw ideas and expect you to bounce something back. Brain exercises are not for the lazies.


Don’t date a man who reads. He is fine spending time on his own. He can entertain himself for hours with or without you. A Brief History of Time might be your worst enemy. You might wonder if he is having an affair with Emma or Jane Eyre. You will always have to share his time with books. And, when you work late, he won’t get upset; books will keep him company.


Don’t date a man who reads. He is hard to please. Ideas and imagination are the fuel to his brain. You will chase the knowledge and become a better version of yourself. He might want to teach you How To Win Friends And Influence People.


Don’t date a man who reads. He is intelligent. Smart people know to invest in themselves. You will have to keep up and be more than just a pretty face. Beauty fades. Intelligence will show you the road From Here to Eternity. He will turn you from Good to Great.


Don’t date a man who reads. He will listen to your thoughts and dreams. He won’t let you sit still; he will make you chase them. It cannot be harder than The Journey To The West. He will tell you that your only limit is you.


Don’t date a man who reads. He will Think And Grow Rich. He knows reading is always a bargain. He will borrow thousands of people’s brains to turn his vision into reality. The Richest Man In Babylon will be put to shame.


Don’t date a man who reads. He is a critical thinker. He has seen different opinions through thousands of pages. Reading teaches him great analytical skills. Every little challenge will have a strategy session from The Art Of War. If you have a tough decision, he might have the solution. And you will have to learn to accept help from others.

Don’t date a man who reads. He has a sense of perspective. He knows his problems will never be harder than the people in The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas.

Don’t date a man who reads. He will always want to try new things. He will always try to get more out of life. For him, life is like an adventure like Around The World In Eighty Days. He will teach you how to Choose Yourself.

Don’t date a man who reads. His inner child is more alive. The Age of Innocence will never come to an end. His curiosity and creativity will survive through school. And he won’t stop asking questions to find The Art Of Happiness.

Don’t date a man who reads. He can be empathetic. He is used to putting himself in every character’s shoes. He will be there to pick you up when you fall. He knows Attitudes of Gratitude: How to Give and Receive Joy Everyday of Your Life.

Don’t date a man who reads. He will like to challenge you like A Call To The Wild. He will give you book suggestions that will drive you crazy. He will push you hard to grow, and to share the journey with him. Nothing will be nice and smooth like a bed of roses. But the more you open your mind, the more things you will discover. And the more you read, the more you will realize you know nothing. And you won’t be able to stop chasing new ideas.

Don’t date a man who reads. You will have a hard time reading him. The key to his heart lies below thousands of books. You will have to read things you don’t like. You will read things that will make you cry. You will read things that make you comfortable. That is part of every relationship. It will take real effort to meet his Great Expectations.

Don’t date a man who reads. Because he is a storyteller. Everything through his eyes will look magical. One day he might tell your children The Greatest Story Never Told.

Never date a man who reads. He is dangerous. Even if he looks like The Hunchback of Notre Dame, you will always find him sexy.
You might never leave him. Because every moment is like a new story in A Thousand And One Nights.

He will be smart enough to see your value. He will treat you like A Little Princess. One day he might tell you that your Love Story was Right From The Beginning.

EducationRe: Senate Asks JAMB To Extend Validity Of Results To 3 Years by mcpat(m): 12:10pm On Nov 18, 2015
IMO extending UTME validity to three years would only make admission into federal universities harder.

-n the sense that the number of prospective students who failed to gain admission with a jamb score of over 200 from the previous year would be merged with fresh UTME takers and people who couldn't take the test the previous year.

Thus increasing the number of applicants and reducing the probability of gaining admission.

More so, I noticed that i was unable to revisit already answered questions during my SJT, am i to expect my numerical questions in that format? I know knowledge of this before the text is not totally pertinent but i am curious like that.

Reply the invitational e-mail. Stating reasons why you would want to be rescheduled to abj. Sukunmi is a nice person. Good luck on that.

@all, you guys should take out time to narrate your test experience and what kind of questions you encountered, if not for anything to make this thread useful for the next set of Inbetweeners.

I had my test today and will share my experience later.

@maltida how he received it isnt the issue now dear but to hopeful because i dont think he would be asking for clues if he had not pass that hurdle.

I received an invite for the aptitude test earlier today and would be grateful if anyone can direct me on what to prepare for; numericals, abstract, critical reasoning et al with a detailed review of how your test went if you can, not necessarily mentioning any question whatsoever.

Thanks in anticipation

Ksslib:
I did a google search and was fortunate enough to find something that ll keep me and some of you busy for the main time esp those who are skeptical about their chance of being **na till I complete am***?

http://myschool.com.ng/uniben/news/30395/uniben-admission-list-2014-2015-out-now-on-jamb-website.html#pgTp

These are real testimonies and lamentations from actual people,not robots who wrote the exam,not some dem say dem say... I hear say....my fathers younger brother from my mama side said..

Yes,the list is always based on the performance of students in a particular year but from my observation,even if they do vary from year to year,its only with a few marks. Or lets just put it this way----there's this invisible range schools always try to maintain. I believe there's a way they mark results to balance things out.. I believe that was what jamb did to PPT candidates who wrote last year.. ##just saying##

Use your score take gauge person wey get/no get ur desired course for that link to get little idea on what to expect. I no talk say make u use ur score take gauge person own to know weda Uniben go give you your course or not Oh! I say use am take get LITTLE IDEA on what to expect..ehen

Disclaimer: Iam not in anyway saying anything ive said above stands true. Iam just thinking out loud. And remember to always take what an aspirant says with a pinch of salt..

But that doesn't mean there might not be an element of truth in it.. Shalom
Morning Ksslib and other Uniben Hopefuls,

My Motivation for this post is strictly to clear the air and urge you guys to waste time not bothering about things you have no control whatsoever. The University Admission Board of the great Uniben have been known for their high level of meritocracy over the years and i dont see this one being an exception.

The normal cut off mark is 50 (Aggregate Score) but way higher in professional courses and courses where prospective students have high scores. Shouldnt be more than 65 for any Engineering course, 72 for Law and 75 for medicine. Accounting should come in at a solid 60 albeit Federal character and catchment areas also come into play. If you score above 50 and you dont meet your cutoff, you may be placed in another department depending on your 5 O'level combination and availability.

You have done what is expected of you, sat for the test and did extremely well. What i expect of you now is; finish that level you are currently on Candy crush or your favourite movie pending the provisional admission status. Back in my time we were not opportuned to see our scores before the admission list came out thanks to a prolonged industrial acction opined with some mangement issues. I wish you the best.

CAVEAT The scores posted and this post as a whole has no connection to the University of Benin and the University admission board. They are just my speculations from my ample years of observation/research.
