Well said. like I said people shld be reading small small. and contrary to lag, in Obajana Elect and Chem wrote. They had their questions. we even saw some Academy students who said its about 50 people or so tthey will take. So I really dont know about another batch sha. Buh I sha know that those disciplines wrote in Obajana and that Lag and Obajana was working together. if u have a snap shot of the list u guys looked at in lagos, u wld see my name, and I wrote in Obajana, so they had a unified list. and the academy is supposed to start about July/August, interview shld be within next month. Guess by then we will know. AM ONLY AGAINST PEOPLE HAVING FALSE HOPES. u do know companies dont enjoy running tests like dat sha, except KPMG. even with the number dangote invited, u wld know they want sometin simple... So elect guys and chem just be preparing small small like I have always said, but dont put all hopes on it. Those guys in lag cld have said anytin just to put the situation under control. In obajana, sometin similar happend, they cld have driven gate crashers, but that wld be wicked, after that distance. The way they sounded, if u are good with body language, u wld know that they were the fate of the gate crashers werent even certain. Imagine having t write 'not on the list' on top ur sheet, while others are writing their serial number.

Suite305:
There's nothing misleading about the information. I wrote mine in lagos and prior to handing out the question papers, the lady coordinating the exam took about 30mins to explain the whole GETS programme; the vision, the selection process,....etc. She insisted that we the candidates ask any question about the program rather than reading stuffs on social media. She told us that the next batch for this year would be for chemical and electrical engineers. So I would suggest that guys from those discipline start preparing. The exam was purely academic covered topics from 100L-400L... at least as much as I can remember. And it covered several courses.
The lady also told us that the cut off mark was subject to general performance. And those who eventually scale the test and interview would be taken to Obajana, where they would be trained for 12 months, after which the trainees would be absored to any of the dangote subsidiaries where vacancies exist. She told us this year is the 5th batch since the commencement of GETS. All trainees from the 1st to 2 batches were absorbed 80% and 75% of the 3rd and 4th batch respectively. According to her the trainees would be evaluated quarterly and the overall performance determines if one would eventually get absorbed in any of the dangote subsidiaries. In other words it's not enough scaling the hurdle of test and interview. The academy is also another hurdle. Accommodation and transportation during the 12 months program is free and a stipend of 80k would be provided to each of the trainees. Trainees would also be given 2weeks leave, the timing of which is at the trainee's perogative
Please I believe this explanation I've given is elaborate enough I don't have any source in dangote. This information was provided freely to all candidates who wrote their exam in lagos (at least I can speak for the class I wrote mine in)............I'm saying because some Nairalanders are silly(sorry to say) and they'll ask some very silly follow-up questions
Kind regards

Bros eee, I know for certain tthat it was not only mech engine that wrote in lag, Mining did. and 1 tin everybody seem to be forgettin is that the official advert that even came out for GETS 2016, which is even the first time dangote advertized GETS, was for 2 discipline 1. Mech Engin/ Automobil, then 2. Mining. But the academy offers elect and others, even civil, buh civil was not mentioned thruout the test at obajana. wat i am simple saying is that people should not be given false hopes. its ok, if u want to be studying small small just incase, but not cos u heard that u wld be invited soon, thats most likely not true to be blunt. people on nairaland spread rumours based on assumption. Elect wrote at obajana, chemical did too. I dont now who didnt write at lag sha, buh I knw mining did, 30 people from wat i heard, cos the list was clear, lag and obajana was usingg same list, was just a case of the venue u are closest to. I said there was even a column for ur list serial number on the OMR sheet. Bottom line is; I am 88% sure dangote is done with test. maybe for another batch goin into the academy, they may do test, but this 1 was for a batch. ok lemme give u another hint, obajana was supposed to write 5th and lag 6th, they moved it to 6th, cos both side wld write same. Bro last last, just be readin small small, but dont let it be with the hope of they wld soon invite again. thats my point. people saying that is based on assumptions, not fact.

karleone:
Oga mi, how will Dangote inform the general public of its recruitment for 2016 GETS for different engineering disciplines, only to shortlist Mechnical in Lagos? It's not done nah. Or, are you trying to tell me that it was only Mech Engine that the valued, reason why they were the only ones invited?
Bros, I believe, even though it's faint, they'll still send out invites.

I got the invite 1 week before. And oga, where were u wen i was here almost begging people who got the invite to say sometin, likeI tolda guy i met there, i was almost beginning to tink I was the only one invited, until a day before that 2 people indicated they were invited, 1 fellow obajanite and 1 lag who even nw gave me more info, cos he was doin mining to in lagos,... all d tins i wrote nw after the text, are from my experience during the test. not before.. bros check page 9 of this thread if need more info on where i was before the test

kecy19:
You're blabbing, you for drop the invite for here when you did receive yours. You come here days after you've written and and give us a passage to read. We don't need it.

Why the misleading info about electrical writing later. dangote test is finished. I wrote at Obajana, it was Mech, mining, elect and chem that wrote, other disciplines join closely related, for instance geology did mining. if you guys are saying chem, elect, mech, or wat so ever didnt write in lag, who nw wrote, only mining, there was a list from what i gathered. gate crashers at obajana were tld to write 'not on the list' on top their paper cos most claimed they where invited, so they said they were gonna check later, or write ur serial number if urs is on the list. I really dont think there would be another batch or a seperate elect test. make una nor carry people go dey read in prospect of dangote invite. the invite comes days before, so if need be, u can do some readin den, thats if the elect tin is true. buh i sha know that at obajana, mech people were many, they sat at both extremes of the seat, then a chemical, or mining, or elect seats in the middle. the dude opposite me was elect. and I also sha know that we did same questions in lag and obajana. so elect peeps had their for the area of specialization section... wat next nw is we should be waiting, praying and hoping. Its now left for God to add His list to who ever they wanna select. one tin was and is certain, the test general part was konk, even a first class grad of mech engine would likely still complain, cos the moment u tinking u are killing turbines from ur area, steel from chem abi i dont know comes in, it was just too many random questions. except dem normal O level chem P1V1 kini, and diagrammatic, and some normal maths .. then the area of specialization part was generally easy. my mining was like german or choose ansa, or true or false. buh was still easy esp wen compared to the first general part.

Wait oo, so u people mean to say Abuja people that got success msg feb 29th have been contacted?

PLLEASE ANYBODY WITH SOFT COPIES OF GENERAL ENGINEERING QUESTIONS SHOULD PPLEASE SEND TO nelsonwithu@yahoo.com....PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ OR DROP DOWNLOAD LINK

Ikehiemma:
Hi, I'm finding it difficult to register. I filled the form, checked the box, then clicked register. But nothing happens. What could be wrong?

Bro, seems u have done the test or even got it before. can u throw more light on the settings generally. wld be much appreciated.

ksstroud:
Dear Karleone,
I'm good.

Bros Tis simple...
From Oshodi, enter ikeja inside or ikeja along, if tis ikeja along, cross the railway and trek to ikeja inside "under bridge " from there ask anybody you wanna take keke napep going to Oba Akran and tell the keke man that you wanna drop for Dangote agro sack main gate.
..............
Tis even Trekkable if you are not a butter guy... From there you can still shadow many companies lined up for that Oba Akran road.

At all....
Do well to try your best in answering most questions, tis 70% guaranteed that if one passes the test, s/he is on the way to GETS....

Success to you ALL

for those that asked since. I actually studied Geology. My own test is at Obajana in Kogi state. at the training academy specifically inside dangote cement factory, and its 5th may, they actually sent a text not a mail. 1 text was sent initially without date, den I called the number attached and was told its 5th. then a corrected msg was nw sent later... So anybody else goin to Kogi? esp from Abj.. then also ideas on hw the test is like please?

Please I just got a text message saying I have been invited for an aptitude test at Obajana, Kogi state. who else got this kind of message. The date wasnt included, but when I called the number they attached, they said its on the 5th of may.

Please for those that got success msgz on feb 29th. does any of u still have ur msg, if u do, please drop the number that was attached for contact. Thanks

That February test may be be contract by other banks entirely

Please has anybody who wrote in abuja around feb 16th, and that got a success message on monday sayin u will be contacted soon, have any of u been contacted or something.

Yes thats true oo. can somebody tell us wat this so called next stage is about?.. and also, are we just concluding that its Wema bank... cos the interviewer ssaid clearly in Abuja, that they are recruiting for 4 different banks at the moment

freshyabstel:
bro plsss where is the venue for the test in abuja 2moro, plsss help a bro. Thanks

Nice one man, dont need to tink too much to know u must be a genius. so wat was the interview nnow like?

sir09:
Didn't still know why ppl are saying the test is difficult well here is the clue for those that will be writing in Lagos....I wrote mine today.
There are 20 questions in all: here is the break down;
verbal;
A passage was give to read on customer service satisfaction and question goes like these: from the passage a question will be ask and u are to choose either
(a)True (b)False (c)Can not say
That is the format for number one to 4.
number 5 question says what is the word used in place of 'contract' (a)Bond (b) agreement (c)dexterity (d)agreed
questions 6 to 10 choose the word that is nearest in meaning to the opposite words giving
6. Plod
7. Matriculation
8. Adroit
9. Admirable
10. Baleful
question 11 to 15 its all about reasoning very simple
11. There is 31 days in a month and one month in a year is 28 days which of the following is the month.......use ur common sense
12.you applies 3 and u remove 2 what are u left with?
use ur instinct .
13. A woman give a Begger 50 cent, the begged is the woman sister who is the begger?
common sense again didn't need to give options.
14. add 30 with 1/2 plus 10. use ur number 6. if u like pick 25 and score zero.
15. ..........not giving that
question 16-20
basic simple interest mathematics
I=PRT
try to study on that.
there is one percentage question
the lastly one time and km calculation.

Second aspect 20 min.
1. give five problem a company encounter and give solution to the problems using internet(online)
2. in five lines write about customer service and tolerance.
3. In five lines in what situation can u reach a compromise.
That is all for whytcleon Lagos test today. if I could master and remember all the question why can't u score all the marks u needed to and processed to interview. the funniest part of it people still fail and were as to leave the venue immediately.
I think have tried my best.
success.

If its abuja, I know they will still be conducting tomoto, cos i got another test again inviting me for tomoro. so i'll be going tomoro...

chiniski:
Please I missed the test today. Does anyone have an idea if there is a retake?

Can anybody who did in abuja confirm that it was similar to what sir09 just said.
