@beckissluv scroll through the thread, you will get the needed tips to help you do well in the test. All you need to know have been posted on the pages of this thread.
At last the series of GETS2016 tests will finally come to an end by October 7th and for sure the interview will come up by November for those that will scale through the test hurdle.

BEST OF LUCK!!!

@JosephJuwon, won't you come to say happy new month to us here?
To those scheduled to take their test next week, I wish you all accuracy, speed, excellence, and good success.

For the rest of us who have since written our test- my dear agwuabia, wapadunk, ukeachu, and all others, my wish is that the November mentioned by the HR people becomes the time that has been scheduled for our resumption-that interview comes up this month. Can't wait to finally get to be trained together with you guys.
Happy new month, and happy independence to us all. God bless.

For the test....indianbix.com is a very good resource for training...I am not guaranteeing word for word questions....but for electrical....going through the tests on the site refreshed my memory....and some formulas and analysis techniques hidden in my latent memory were unearthed..

That said...for the general question...study a mix of indiabix with GMAT...... excluding verbal....but including spatial analysis.....

Don't prepare for the test expecting word for word repetition of questions....prepare as if you really want to understand the underlying concepts in whatever you read....

The HR did not give specific timetable as per response or feedback....

please what was the duration of the exams?

Hello Mr. Nduka,
please this is not the right thread for your post because it's clearly a contradiction to the subject of discussion. As such, please could you kindly retract it or post no such again.
Thank you.

Just saw the invite also. But I'm thinking it's not for GET, i guess it's for the Refinery application.

That true, But if I may ask can someone gatecrash this exam?.

I never applied for the refinery program

Thanks my brother, has been busy lately. Very soon everything will be over, the reason why this year's GETS has taken time is as a result of logistics issue. Everything will be over towards the end of the year as the last set has written their test today at Obajana.
What we should be expecting now is interview invite ,once they fix the date for the interview,expectedly from now till the middle of November. Moving into the Academy is likely going to be in December,as all the departments (Mech, Mining, Elect, & Chem) will move into the Academy at the same time as GETS BATCH 6.

patience is what GETS2016 has taught me. Though the wait is worth it considering the technical and managerial skills and other benefits one stands to gain if one is eventually selected. To be honest with you the training is by far worth more than Masters degree especially for young Engineers like us.

WISHING ALL OF US SUCCESS !!!

I think they want to bal it Jan - Dec of every year

@agwuabia, Thanks for coming around. For sure GETS training most definitely makes a better engineer out of grads like us than M.Eng does. What's your take on this new invite some people are saying they received?

The new test invitation slated on the 15th of October is for the Refinery ,it's different from GETS. In future they want to transform the Academy into Technology and Management Institute(by 2018) and finally into a University of Technology & Management (by 2020).

THE DANGOTE INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT AND TECHNOLOGY WILL HAVE FOUR (4) SCHOOLS COVERING ALL DANGOTE SUBSIDIARIES VIZ:

1. School Of Cement Technology (SCT) covering Cement & Construction Technologies.
2. School of Fertilizer&Petroleum Technologies (SFPT) covering Fertilizer, Petroleum, Refinery & Petrochemicals.
3.School of Food Technology (SFT) covering Sugar, Salt, Rice etc.
4.School of Management Education (SME) covering Leadership & Management training.

In summary ,for now those that are invited for the Refinery test, if they scale through the test,group discussion and the oral interview they will be taken to India to learn Refinery Operations. In future, they will no longer be trained abroad but here in Nigeria at the DANGOTE UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY & MANAGEMENT, OBAJANA KOGI STATE. First batch is currently in India for the Refinery operations training.

Hope my explanation is elaborate enough and educating.

It very sure is. Thanks for taking the time. nice night, sweet dreams.

Agwuabia U are the man... Nice info you are dropping here... I hail. AGWUABIA FOR PRESIDENT!!!.... buh please do u know if the slot for GETS is segmented info various branches as in like maybe 10 mech, 8 chem, 10 elect and so on,... or its just by performance, in which case if the best 50 people are mech, they will only take mech... and wat chance does someone that wrote for Mining Engr, buh is a graduate of Geology have?

Thanks man.
Yes ,the training is done according to your departments. The last batch that just graduated (batch 5) last July 29 had a total of 34 successful graduants broken into this number according to their departments:

MECHANICAL......................................21
CHEMICAL............................................7
ELECTRICAL........................................ 4
INSTRUMENTATION & CONTROL........2
TOTAL.................................................... 34
This time around with Mining and Automobile included the number is likely going to increase.

As for your last question , the chances are high.Mining is part of Geology, school like UniJos does the course as Geology & Mining. You know most schools in Nigeria do only the drilling aspects of Geology because Nigeria has much interest in Petroleum industry because it's a money spinning business leaving the Mining aspects of the course. But in all, drilling & mining use almost the same principle in operations the only different between both is that in drilling you go deeper in depth in searching for crude oil and natural gas while in Mining you don't go that deep in searching for coal, Limestone, gypsum and laterite. Also in drilling, the natural resources you drill are in liquid or gaseous state while the natural resources you mine are in solid form.

Hope my write up has been useful to you.

I hope to meet all of you on this thread in the academy. But this dangote refinery test slated for saturday october 15, is it for those that have B.Eng or M.Sc?

Hello House,
Any other last Nov applicant whose application reads "..........awaiting scheduling interview" who got invited for the Oct 15th test?
And to the rest Aug applicants who are waiting for medical/job offer, may God smile on you soon.

@Agwuabia, your posts on this thread and GETS have been helpful to people, Weldone and God bless you.
