ShadowCracker:
Now that you have been admitted into a university, there will be less time for nairaland.

Me sef I just got admitted into Ui this year so I know I am saying.

Monday gift oghenekaro .

Goodluck to you mate.

I was recently admitted into the University of Benin, in my first attempt, and I intend to make a first class in my intended course of study. So, I'd like to get some piece of advice from those who made a first class, as well as from those who came close.

What important lesson can you share with me?

Addenda- Do not comment on this thread if you believe in the age old clichés of "first class is a scam","school na scam",and other inane cliché about education in Nigeria.

You bored and old folks will conjure up any story, just to get attention. Smh

Hardwork.

This is a classic example of how ignorant and ill-exposed Niegrians, perpetuate poverty.

The youth leaders in Delta state should act and advice their people to shun cultism and yahoo just like Edo youths leaders did.
There is no gain in cultism honestly.. the years wasted, poor academic results and supremacy battle all for what? I remember one room mate back then that left Uniben I think or one of those Southern unis to start afresh in Lag. and still had the 'green boys' on his trail. He was their member tho. and from the things he said, he just felt unsafe. in his previous environment and had to switch just like that, no expulsion nothing. The guy was a handsome guy with girls at his finger tips but his life wasn't just stable.

Moral of the story.. Say No to Cultism.

Cultism is still a menace in Edo state. It's just on a low-key due to the fact that most members are into internet fraud.

The amount of cultists on this thread is staggering.

You don't need to specifically learn Gatsby or next if you know react. You can start applying to jobs and learn your DSA well.

I remember when you used to tell people here to forget about DSA now things don change.

He should learn how to fix mobile phones. But please, ensure you enrol him with a boss who's willing to teach him well. That was the mistake I made when I wanted to learn how to fix phones: I enrolled with a terrible boss who took no slight interest whether you're learning or not.

BluntTheApostle:
Yes. I studied the combo as a course in the university.

The degree I got is a BSc in Mathematics and Physics.

Wow! Never knew you could do that combo in a Nigerian University.

BluntTheApostle:
Mathematics and physics.

If you don't mind me asking, are you doing this combo in a Nigerian University?

Ibime:
Well, seeing how I have 1st class in Mathematics, I would give y'all my secrets. . . but you have to pay for it.

Let me give you my cent as a final year CS undergrad.
The school will expose you to the basics and fundamentals, you are left to figure the rest yourself. Just the concepts across various domains. No lecturer will sit you down and start teaching you the hottest framework in market. Just be solid in a language, and build lots of projects.

Advice based on personal experience:
- Start grinding data structures and algorithm from day 1 in school.
If you sabi number of opportunity wey I don miss because of DSA! I for don dey ball now.
- For practical oriented courses, build projects while taking those courses.
Most students will just learn / cram the language syntax, pour in examination hall and that's all. You can easily add these projects to your CV.
- Explore internship option early. If your algorithm is strong enough, apply to those tech and finance companies outside the country.
- Join your school tech communities, go for hackathon and competitions, etc.
My school is not even among the top 4 federal university in South West and we have decent tech communities.
- Make intelligent friends. You'll understand the crazy things people are doing.
- If you have interest in AI/ML, you are in for long ride. AI/ML has the craziest learning curve. You have to read research papers, publish articles, and so on.
I have a coursemate who is studying DSA for one of FAANG companies AI resident role after scaling through the application phase. His CV is badass, he has a research paper in top AI workshop, lots of projects, more than 4 internship and job experience, lots of community work.

A friend of mine currently have a job that pays above #350k (His first job). I also have a SWE offer, I'm expected to start after graduation. I recently had 2 promising interviews with remote companies, hopefully it comes well.

So, it's not just about the school but how well you can put in work.

Can a student of applied mathematics follow this advice, if he's planning on entering into the field of software development? There's an elective course in Data structures in 300lvl in my school for applied mathematics students. Seems I'll take that course.

Let her have the kid. In 17 years time it's your mum that will be bragging about her grandchild. And your sister at 34 will be proud to have a daughter who people will be asking of she is sister with her mum. Na belle she get. She nor kill person

This is a terrible advice. The girl should only be allowed to conceive that child, if the family has sufficient resources to take care of an additional human being else, she's better off having an abortion.
