In some courses, we have two types of masters. One is called academic masters while the other is called professional masters.

Academic masters presents you with advanced topics in your field and the choice of narrowing it down to some specific areas thus giving you the opportunity to understand and contribute your own quota in those areas, promote the field more and make use of what you've learned at your place of work.

Professional masters is more job oriented. It perches on the day to day practices of the field in question with respect to actual work environment. It's more accommodating to people from other departments since it's more like a training for the job than an academic research in the field in question. It's usually more expensive though.

The one you choose is amatter of choice.

Here are some examples:

MSc Comp Sci (Academic)/ MIT (professional)
MA Bus Admin (Academic)/MBA (professional)
MA Pub Admin (Academic)/MPA (professional)
Etc.

Good write up. What I want to add is professional master is a terminal master ,that is after its completion u cant use it to run P.H.D. While academic masters is the opposite. So if you want to use your master degree for P.H.D don't apply for professional one.

Unedith:
Check at Laurel Educational Hostel, behind Agbowo Complex. It's within walking distance frm UI gate, but u can ask a bike man to take u there, since it's ur first time. Also, u can tell bike man Shiata Guest house; it's beside d hostel.

How much

BornSad:
I suggest you get in touch with someone in your department about this. You either join one or create one. This is because every available group is created with respect to department and set. We don't have anything like NOUN MSc/MA group as little or nothing could be achieved in such a broad gathering.

I'm a new student of info tech, I believe there is a group on whatsapp for that. Pls add me 07062212246, if not add me to your own what's app pls. I have a lot to ask u. Have send u Pm too. Thanks.

samguru:
Just walk into any study centre, for a start you should not spend more than 80k for registration and access to the portal.

You are not buying any book.

tobybasten:
I guess you came up with all this in ur mind.
Firstly - they picked HND and B.Eng graduates for this program. if ur University awards Bsc EEE or Mechanical, I think that might have been a disadvantage coz from the list I saw 25 candidates selected with either HND or B. Eng.

How many were selected in all? Do u think they may call more?

mirinskirin:
If yu had 2.1, and thought yu did well in d interview, I am sorry, yur grade might have disqualified yu.... from unverified info dat I have, I think they were sceptical about the ease of a 2.1 graduate getting anoda job easil and MSC guys too... however to nullify this, I need someone to please indicate if yu are a BSc graduate wit 2.1 that was called..... and also I learnt the process could be considered for a higher graduate program. Just hope that is aw it is gonna be... all d best.... better days ahead....

I don't understand that part of your post

Suffy:
I was interviewed in Abuja and hv not recieved any mail yet. A fellow whom i know so well dat was interviewed same day told me dat he got unsuccessful mail, not just him bt with few other peeps that he contacted after he recieved the mail. It is shocking dat no 1 else is confirming this.

Like how many of you did the interview in Abuja?

Devdaz:

Thank you. Don't worry you own will surely come . U did u interview in Lagos on July 2?

Devdaz:
its true.... I also receive it and i did in Lag

Please receive which type of email exactly? You people are increasing the tension in me oo. Lol

Suffy:
I dnt know about other locations, but some candidates who were interviewed in Abuja got unsuccessful mail

Are u sure is this program?

kzptin:
Yes we all thought we did well. I even saw d satisfactory look on my interviewers' faces, i could swear i'd already gotten d job. Now they are in collaboration with ITF, i expect they would take more than 20. But i also noticed some of them who got the job had been working in Lagos. If u go through dat december thread u would see dat, u would see where they talked about resignation from their previous jobs (i mean the successful candidates). Experience may have edged us out. And u know people in Lagos are most likely to be working compared to people in Enugu and co.

Thank you bro I appreciate you . I pray all of us will be pick.

kzptin:
They had recruitment in december. I remember, i wrote my test in enugu, just about 4 of us from enugu made it to the interview in ph, total of people who had the interview in ph was just 36 (4 of us who wrote in enugu plus the porthacourt guys), Lagos people had their interview a week after we did. About 30 of them had interview in Lagos. Afterwards 20 people were taken on the whole. The stipend they were to start with was 25k. They resumed in january 20th or there about. We waited past 5weeks before any of us was contacted. But for some reasons they picked Lagos guys. Those who had their interview in Lagos. Probably they considered home address on cv and proximity to the training centre. After our interview in ph we exchanged nos, we called ourselves across and discovered just one of us seemed to have been contacted. If u didn't have ur interview in Lagos u have to be exceptionally qualified to be called. I don't know about people who wrote in abuja, kadunna and co. But i know majority ( 80 percent) of the people who were called had their interview in Lagos. U can google nbc dragnet 2014. U will find out dat about 16 out of the 20 people called had their interview in Lagos. It might be that the interviewer in Lagos graded them too highly. On another note it was rumoured dat the payment would be 150k after the 18 month trainining. But i know for sure some of u guys would be employed as managers (as though u passed through management trainee recruitment) after the interview based on performance. I didn't get the job then, it pained me, dat was 6 months back, but i thank God dat my current job now pays me more than 10 times (their monthly stipend) monthly. Goodluck you guys. And if u miss d job don't worry much sometheing better is coming. Am a testimony.

Thank you. Pls during the interview did you think you performed excellently well? I just want to grade myself

BornSad:

kevoh:

I need it too bro. babatunde_wahab@ymail.com Tanks

tobybasten:
I hope they pick a handful of us. Have a feeling they might get across to us this week.

Maybe after the ramadan festival. How many places the interview took place.

Devdaz:
U are certainly on ur own if u posted to other plants... What u can do is to choose any of their plant that maybe u know someone in that city that can accommodate u. And mind u, u will definately be posted like two times before the end of the programme and its 4 months OJT each time u posted to other plant.

Ok. Thank you. Is it 100 per cent certain that everybody that completed the program will be retain? How much are we going to be paid if we are employed fully. Sorry for asking too much questions.

Devdaz:
Its 30k for HND recruitment.. And there is one guest house for accommodation bt its far from training location. Unless u will be wake up as early as possible to meet up with staff bus. The working hour is nowmal working hr 8am-5pm

Same as bsc right? Pls are u on the program already?

Suffy:
"he wished me best of luck in my future endeavour", does this mean you were not successful? how come no one has being mailed yet?

No. Is not true. We asked the man told us directly it will take up to 2 months before they call anybody . So relax

Moyosoreola:
FOI

For those raising questions regarding the NBC stipend

I did my interview on thur 2nd 2015...And after the mumbo jumbo I did a little research.
I met one of the technical trainees that are due to graduate in 2015 and I asked him how much dey are being paid.He was very reluctant cos he told me dey are being monitored pointing my attention to a security camera...I made him realise he should calm down dat there is no voice recording in the cam....but after a whole lot of "wyning" He finally decided to talk he told me dey are being paid 25k per month with free lunch bt no transport and accomodation allowance .Then I told him thank you.

U mean no accommodation for us?

Pls I need an answer to this question. If my employer did not do my clearance for a month I am going to collect the allowance for that month ? Thank you for your quick response
