planetuzor: Before I got to funnab from lagos yesteday was almost late. I got there by 3pm(they close office by 4pm) then trekked down to COLMAS(believe me that COLMAS building location was just too far fom the main gate and its like an outskirtch of funaab. it took me like 25mins jogging Down there.#sweating seriously -all ma cloth got soaked up.) then I went to Eco dept and after that I went to acct depart too. I was then told by the guys in eco dept to quickly go change my course @ the ICT that I have 19munites to get there before they close for the workday.

Then I hurriedly Jogged to meet the guys @ the senate first then asked them my question then was directed to go the the other building where ICT office is. When i got to where the ICT guys office, they had all carried their bags to leave the office. I stood there looking at them to excuse me a minute to even hear what i came to do but they were just chatting among themselves, carrying their bags off the office, leaving me alone in the office wondering how i will come from lagos to abeokuta to be disappointed. Then suddenly one guy just came into the office, asked me young man what do you want and i explained to him I need to make a correction of a course (at that point all other questions I would have loved to ask skipped my mind).

Then he collected my slip and gave me back, then said go online and refill.. #Thanking God mood and also appreciating you for the eye opener. If you had not asked me earlier would i have known? nope. Thanks again!

You're welcome brother! That's the benefit of being open minded; ability to listen and make a JUDICIOUS decision.

Honestly, am so happy for u and I pray that may the Lord grant u success in ur application.

As sharp as a tack!

Goodluck my humble brother!

planetuzor: According to what a staff i met at the ECO department which letter called(phone call) the HOD right in front of me to confirm what he is telling me, he said their economics department does'nt accept ND for their 3 years program. they only accept HND and must be in Economics.

What have u been able to do at ICT? Have u been able to change ya course?

I told that dude earlier but he wouldn't listen. I must commend u for being objective and not SUBJECTIVE, you've approached the challenge and that's excellent. That dude had got enough TIME to do that earlier before now but I sincerely wish him success.

You've taken a step, may the lord bless and crown ur struggle!

planetuzor: Just came in from Unaab now.. Gasping really hard. Omo this guys no go kill person!

prinxadegoke: @planetuzor Go to funnab ICT or admission office if dey can change ur dept because I also waited lastyr admission in UI because I chose Econs nd I hav OND banking and finance. Econs does nt accept OND all over Nigeria's universities. D same also happen to my frnds dat chose unilorin lastyr. Pls go dere so u dnt waste ur slot. May God help us all....

Hmm... Seems u have wealth of experience in this issue. I said it EMPHATICALLY in my previous posts but it didn't catch the air. Although, am nt sure of all over Nigeria but am sure of most schs in south west.

So my dear brother, I humbly ask for the course that u're now applying for?

planetuzor: Bros is it correctable able na editable. And the problem now is that I choose economics first choice and second choice.. How do I correct this? Rooommmm

#sad mood!

I don't know how to answer that brother! But be hopeful and prayerful, miracle does happen everywhere!

planetuzor: All through ur business admin degree course. Did u do any subject related to econmics like statistics, quantitative analysis and co?

Yes of course, I did Micro and Macro economics, Business Statistics (1&2) and Business Mathematics (1&2), Public Finance, Cost Accounting (1&2) and all that.

Sanguine: In anticipation of the call up text message or email for the screening excercise... Anyone has any idea what is required of us for the screening excercise? So no one goes there and start looking like lukumon omo iya mufutau...

*************************
Are you guyz prepared for the screening/interview??

Yes of course brother!

Walexz02: yup bro, it has realy been a while, well, I did nt abandone the thread nor do I try to lag behind. Its jst that am a little bit lazy to comment this days(since there ain't critical issues to tackle). I have been and still in prayer mood for we all aspirants, and am sure God will accept my prayers.
Ya'll that are yet to submit your transcript should please signify yourselve stating your school and what is hindering your transcript from reaching funaab uptill now, am here to help most especially poly ibadan students.
To ya'll trying to keep the thread breathing, I say a big kudos to u. One love.

Yeah, I understand u brother!

planetuzor: I really didn't ask anybody o. I just assumed since Uniben does accept accounting for economics then unaab should

#pls room hope unaab accept accounting DE for economics..

# Elephant Voice

Can't help laugh! Funny dude!!

ASSUMPTION? U gotta be kidding me!

FUNAAB does accept ND in business admin into her own business admin BUT UNILORIN only accepts A'level into her own business admin. What can u say abt that?

Every sch has its own policy, u should have asked.

Because I wanted to be ABSOLUTELY sure, I visited the office of the HOD for ECO in FUNAAB. Just as I did in UI and UNILORIN.

It is always good to confirm from the right source ( mainly at the DEPARTMENT cos admin only knows the general info and what we find online sometimes might nt be correct or probably outdated. For instance, u can find it on UI web that the sch accepts 2 O'level sittings but when u go to some departments there such as ELECT/ELECT, they will tell u that their department will not accept that and that admin only has general info).

Despite the fact that I have lotta friends, mostly my childhood frds at FUNAAB, I still went down there, just to be rightly sure.

Being a while now Walex!

planetuzor: Shocking!! But wait oo, do they accept Accounting?

Logically, I should be asking u that, cos u're applying to ECO.

planetuzor: Why won't they allow u?

I went to the department in March this yr and was told that "Eco doesn't accept Business Admin in ND as DE applicant into its department".

planetuzor: Yoo da fu e jare bother mi... Am an accounting student oo, yabatech, applying for economics!



#Elephant Voice

Kk! How about ya second choice? Oh, I wish to study ECO too but FUNAAB won't accept me noni. I love ECO so much!

Hallo brother! Which course are u applying for? Just to know a little abt u! Besides, are u an ND holder?

The purpose of FUNAAB screening exercise is to cross check if there are discrepancies between what u have in ur CREDENTIAL and what u uploaded on FUNAAB official website.

For instance, FUNAAB conducted screening exercise for 3009 UTME and 220 DE applicants and later another 64 DE applicants out of 35000 applicants that applied to the institution last year. The point is, all calculations must have already been done before SELECTING the number of applicants that will be screened for admission. That is, the online Reg serves as basis for eliminating some applicants based on FUNAAB expected standard.

As regards the purpose of call for TRANSCRIPT, Every institution uses it in assessing the number of required CORE courses taken by the applicant and how relevant are they to the INSTITUTION's expected standard. And to assess the final CGPA. Some foreign institutions will go in long way to take it to CONVERSION AGENCY to help in converting the scores to what they understand.

Don't forget also that the screening also assess applicants' character and behavior. So try to dress cooperate when u're being called for interview and avoid putting on anything that people may attach to as a member of anti social group.

I pray that our applications will be SUCCESSFUL.

My dear Reader,
It is obvious that FUNAAB is confused, what an ambiguous notice the sch has on her website!

Dear Reader, this is just my own point of view.

There's no two-way abt it, I MUST bag BSC award. Even if it has to be through part-time, I don't give a damn.

While it's indisputable that HND graduates are very much okay as they pass through baptism of HELL before been awarded HND certificate, it's quite unfortunate that the GOVT is not responsible enough to sketch out EFFECTIVE plans to make HND graduates relevant in our society.

Come to think of it, HND graduates are required to have a minimum of FOUR/FIVE years of experience after graduation to be qualified to apply for Master Degree. This is absolutely unfair but when u ask them on the television, they will say that they're working on it, of which it's not so in reality.

Furthering of ones EDUCATION in foreign country is easier than HND except in EUROPE.

I hereby urge us to CRITICALLY examine this ISSUE.

I have calculated my risk before choosing FUNAAB and the downturn is low, so am confidently sure that I will share admission testimony on here just like u will also do.

All is well!

Asb4love: Will funaab accept declaration of age 4 som1 without birth certificate during screening?i.e in place of birth certificate?

Yeah bro! Just make sure that u have an affidavit from HIGH COURT.

Sanguine: Beeni o. KoDUROsoke ni ooo. Lol. I sight you here bro. #winks#
They say delay is not denial. Would that phrase be appropriate in this situation
Well, I'd say this Delay as it were, is some blessing in disguise...

#fingers uncrossed#

Hopefully!

Osumare2013: OAU conducted her post UTME first last year (may 29 2012), admission list came out 3 months later and they resumed for the session march 2013, while FUNAAB conducted her exam between june 6-8 2013, admission list came out 2 weeks later and resumed for the session september, that same 2013. Which is better?
LAUTECH won't resume for the new session till late January. All the schools you mentioned will resume later than FUNAAB, except UNILORIN. FUNAAB and UNILORIN move at the same pace. The post UTME won't exceed this month.
The post UTME was postponed solely cos of the candidates. People are having problems with their registration and the university management decided to give more time to solve those problems. Other schools might have decided to go on with the exam leaving those affected as disqualified, thereby reducing the number of candidates.
Oga, can you pls hail FUNAAB for me?

FUNAAB, I hail ooo!!! Seko DUROSOKE

To be candid, I ain't writing post UTME. I thought u guys were asleep here.

Imagine, OAU conducted her post UTME yesterday and even released the results. OAU that has a relatively slow academic calendar now seem to be more proactive.

What's wrong with FUNAAB? Why is FUNAAB trying to draw back the hand of time?

UNIBEN also conducted her own yesterday, Lautech of all unis will conduct her Post UTME tomorrow, UNILORIN is also abt to, UI online Reg has already closed but FUNAAB will rather, extend her own for reason not made known to applicants.

This obviously has turned to a guessing game among applicants. FUNAAB, how soon will it be? Will it hold in July or August? Will applicants wait till November or December? Lol!

4reigningqueen: The programme was smooth only that there was really no time to socialise despite living off campus.
I did accountancy but now going for entreprenuerer studies.

Yeah, am also applying for Entrepreneurial studies as my second choice course of study.

Dankylove: NOVICE!!!

The sch is like an industrial area, them like money for there, no be small. There's CASSAVA BREAD BAKERY there, cashew processing, production of honey, livestock animals etc.

Every Wednesday, they sell palm wine there.

As regards the environment, almost every where is GREEN, a very neat environment. Nice structures and things are done in orderly manner.

For people who have strong heads, there are paramilitary officers who are there to make u adhere to the rules and regulations of the sch.

The transportation system is fairly okay but the sch has limited accommodation for students. So, most students live outside.

One is not allowed to dress anyhow around the SENATE HOUSE. Hope these make any difference to u sir?

4reigningqueen: **drags her in**

Your post is therefore unacceptable to us and we condemn this unreservedly!
