There are two sections in the exam,
Section A. Question on Engineer in the society
which is compulsory for everybody.
For the exam we were asked to Explain and differentiate between lack of culture of maintenance and culture of lack of maintenance in Nigeria.

Section B. Three Questions to test knowledge of 1. Electrical knowledge
2. Electronics knowledge
3. Computer Engineering knowledge
You will pick anyone you like

I picked the one on electronic.
The Questions are 1. What are Rectifiers
2.Explain and mention different types of rectifiers
3. And one other question which I can't remember

Oral defence

You will present your certified binded project writeup. There is mark for
1. Dressing
2. Current affairs
3. Follow coren writeup format, marks will be awarded based on what they want like safety standard, Bills of Engineering Materials(BEM )etc
3 Questions will be asked based on what you presented in the write up. Like where do you work. What's your duties, roles etc

Don't present voluminous project writeup like PhD thesis o. Just present a writeup up to 10- 30 pages.

Those that will register as Electrical Engineer, Electronic Engineer and Computer Engineer will write the same exam.

The questions are generally basic ,not difficult not too technical or theoretical. No mobile phone will be allowed in the exam center

Try federal housing . Hotel there are cheap . Try Richie guest inn, lugbe . It's inside federal housing . You can call 09064028394. That's the place I lodged when I went for the coren exam in August. I paid 15k . Please do your investigation very well before you book their hotel room. I'm not recommending them but they have a nice room and was treated well then

What is the difference between lack of culture of maintenance and culture of lack of maintenance?

Hi. I think you can tell the head office in Abuja to send it to the local branch office in your state.

Hi. I think you can tell the head office in Abuja to send the seal to the local branch office in your state. You can then easily collect it there.

[quote author=abbati19 post=133015444][/quote]The terms "lack of culture of maintenance" and "culture of lack of maintenance" both highlight issues related to maintenance practices in Nigeria, but they differ in focus and implications. Here's an explanation and differentiation:

1. Lack of Culture of Maintenance

This phrase refers to a systemic absence of maintenance as a regular and ingrained practice in society. It implies that maintenance is not part of the norm or value system, and there is no structured approach to ensuring the longevity of infrastructure, machinery, or systems.
Key Characteristics:

Systemic Neglect: Maintenance is not prioritized in policies or practices.

Planning Failure: Maintenance activities are not planned or budgeted for, leading to reactive rather than proactive maintenance.

Cultural Gap: People do not see maintenance as essential, often waiting for complete breakdowns before taking action.

Example: Roads, public buildings, and utilities in Nigeria often fall into disrepair due to a lack of regular maintenance culture.


2. Culture of Lack of Maintenance

This phrase goes a step further, suggesting that the absence of maintenance is a habitual or entrenched norm. It implies a deeper societal acceptance or tolerance for poor maintenance practices as a way of life.
Key Characteristics:

Entrenched Behavior: The failure to maintain is normalized and perpetuated across generations.

Resistance to Change: Efforts to introduce a maintenance culture face societal or institutional resistance because people are accustomed to living with dilapidation.

Blame and Excuses: There is often an attitude of deflecting responsibility, leading to continued neglect.

Example: Public institutions that consistently ignore broken facilities or equipment, treating the dysfunction as "normal."

You choose and write yourself
