Hello fellow NOUN students. I am a Political Science student(fresher) here in benin study center. Please I need someone who have experienced my current predicament to answer me. I just did Pol126 e-exam today and my score was 69/120 which is equal to 40.25/70. Added to my tma score of 29.5, it gives a total score of 69.75/100. My question is; Does noun round up exam scores before collating the results or are they simply going to give me a B? I finished my first semester with 9 straight As and it pains me to be commencing my second semester exam with a B.

Hiploko:
let's start by creating a thread for that. I hope all NOUN students would buzz the thread so that it makes FP and we go from there

Hiploko:
what then do we do? Can we collectively report to NUC and do a media hype about it so that they take it serious? Can we have lalasticlala and seun do us that favor of front page so that they would address this issue before it gets outta hand?

olumbha:

lakesidepapa:

Bros, you should have done your research well rather than displaying your ignorance here.
The National commissioner representing South East still has some years to run on his tenure hence the reason why no new commissioner was chosen for the zone.

If only the conduction of such exams were fair, no one would be complaining.
Do you know what it feels like preparing for an exam you know will probably have no effect on your chances. Your so-called colleagues stick to your face. They tell you where, how and to whom they've submitted letters and money.

It is indeed discouraging

Hey Obi, I disagree with you. I think you wrote like you have some beef for Medics. After internship and service, catering for a Medic is no longer the responsibility of Federal Government, you're on your own, except you get government job or start residency programme. However, just like Youth service, the internishp is partly a job and partly a training programme. Most of the practical aspect of Healthcare are perfected at this stage, that's why it's mandatory, but at same time interns are like the artery of every teaching hospital, they provide a great deal of services, that's why they are paid.

The issue raised here is the poor system of recruiting medical interns in Nigeria. It's not so in organised countries. There shouldn't be any exam or payment whatsoever before internship. It is mandatory, meaning you must do it, to progress in your profession. It should be by placement just like NYSC programme, it's as simple and straightforward as that.

In Medicine and Surgery, Someone who has passed his primary exam is very qualified for residency, and shouldn't be subjected to any form of exam or payment.
MDCN or other bodies for other profession should take up this responsibility and organise the system.

When we talk about corruption, we tend to overlook some of these things, there's no need for acceptance fee after securing admission into school, acceptance for what exactly?? This country is too messed up, most people don't know the extent we have damaged our system, otherwise why would parents keep paying acceptance fee without any legal challenge. I don't blame people who call this country, Zoo.

You shouldn't antagonise this because if it is corrected, your kids or relations will enjoy a better system, if he or she studies a medically oriented course.

MegMich:
I'm tempted to ask.....did you get yours on merit or did you work round it?
Pls b sincere!

eleojo23:
I will reply you with a question followed by an answer.
Using NYSC as an example, what options are there for anyone posted to highly insecure states like Borno and Bauchi? The answer is, the person can decide to go there or apply for redeployment. Such options should also be available for internship if the practice of posting is adopted.

As for me, the later is what I would do.

Kcinho:
Same thing the older generation will tell you about how they didn't sweat to get one. Those that went to Maiduguri in search of a placement and came back disappointed after a month there plus the humanitarian services rendered were also considering proximity and security Abi. Things have changed. The same nnewi you did your internship is now a no go area if you don't have the connection or two hundred thousand or more especially for non-indigenes.
Ask your younger colleagues from 2013 till date.

justirich:
it depends on your time period for you. nowadays you have over 600-700 attending interview in Nauth and Unth each during their last interviews. for just less than or a little above 100slots. then just this week, fmc umuahia had over 500 candidates for interview for slots under 50. ask your junior colleagues. Besides internship as your earlier comments suggested is not a labour market. there is a clear difference. just like comparing law school to job search. Infact both are same, law school for lawyers and internship for medical professionals.

eleojo23:
You shouln't place getting admission and internship on the same level. There are two different things.

Internship is an extension of the medical program.
There are already approved centres with enough slots to go round but corruption and a lot of irregularities has made it difficult for these graduates to get these slots.

Look at the NYSC program for instance. It is almost mandatory for every graduate to serve before seeking employment. Does anyone struggle to get NYSC posting?

So, in the same way, we are saying that the regulatory bodies of these medical professions should adopt the practice of posting graduates to these approved centres. That way, it will be mandatory for these centres to take in the graduates.

Chartey:
Haba Obinoscopy! If house job is like admission then why is the license after graduation temporary with a time frame attached in which one must complete house job? Spots for internship were never meant to be contested.

Kcinho:
Bros chill cos it's obvious you know nothing about medical internship/housemanship.
It is compulsory just like law school before you go for your NYSC. And there are designated hospitals licensed for the internship.
For doctors, if you don't get a place within a stipulated time your license expires and you pay for another license before you can start hunting again. So it's not same with normal hustle for job which every doctor will still do after NYSC.
No housemanship, no NYSC.

eleojo23:
Internship program is not supposed to be a job search. It is part of the medical graduates program necessary for full licence to practice and that is why there are specified approved centres/institutions.
-Internship placement should not be something they should struggle to get.
As for the job search, many people, after internship and NYSC still enter the labour market in search of jobs like other graduates so you don't need to worry about them being spoon-fed.
There are currently many medical professionals looking for job.
