Unilag Postgraduate/Msc 2016/2017: 51 Examination Formats and Question Types



As candidates get ready for the Unilag Postgraduate examinations, I thought it wise to help you with the exams formats to guide your reading.

Exams date is not out yet, it will be sent to you on your phone after the end of this application exercise.

The dates are likely to be end of September. so keep reading my blog post for updates that is all i will say for now, will brief  my inner classroom with  more details I know.


Unilag has a habit of postponing exams to distabilise students, either by design or ignorance, students every year fall for it.


This year will not be exempted.   dont fall for the trap.

if I were you this is the time to prepare very well.



ONLINE CLASS UPDATE:


Start doing review of the past questions now, join in the class discussion, and contribute, it will boost your confidence.

It will be too painful to find out that the exams papers was in your palm or Laptop all this while and you did nothing about it.

Your sponsor wont find it funny o.


MY Top 5 Classes of the Week from the ONLINE CLASS are:


1. MPH/MSc Public Health
2. Msc Env toxicology
3. PGDE/Edu Planning
4. Electrical Engineering
5. MBA


Bravo guys! keep digging it, soon the result will show.


After exams will host u guys at 4-Point or where?
only for those who got admitted sha.


From my 5 years experience in these exams and plotting a trend analysis, this is how the exams will go this year.

hope it helps your prep.


Meanwhile lets take the news...


==============

News in Brief:


1. Exam Pass is also called Acknowledgement slip, its not ready yet. it will be about a week to exams, so don't print it yet and dont fret too.

2. Application Forms will close 29th JULY  But I know it will be extended by 2 or 3 more weeks.

3. I will send you cut-off marks you need to work towards. check my next posts

4. Transcript is not needed now for Application, its needed for REGISTRATION, which is after admission, so pls forget it and read for exams.

5. Payment Online is better than paying cash in Bank. my opinion though

when using online payment option, PLEASE USE INTER SWITCH. Total fee is = N22500.

6. You do not need to submit hardcopy to the department. its not necessary. don't let anyone lie to you that it is. This is a recurrent issue for the last 3 years.

many got admission and are in class now, who did not submit to the department.

know this

a. PG School is in charge of the exams
b. Department is in charge of admission.

if you dont have your original cert and Nysc DISCHARGE, the dept will not accept your forms, and discourage you.

but actually its the ONLINE SUBMISSION that determines if you write the exams or not.

7. if you have your Original cert, you do not need transcript anymore. Tell others

8. Transcript is only for those who apply with statement, after they get admission

9. passport size is not cast in stone. just make sure its normal size and fit into the document

10. You payed in bank and still cant login. please wait after 24 hours and try again

11. some courses are not available, pls don't chose them- geology, geophysics, MELS, occasional, etc

12. Your Ref Nos is your matric number until u do your matriculation, so guide it jealously

13. calculator was not allowed last year exams. but it seems it was an error in the part of PG school. so practice with one

13. its not late to join my e-class. infact this is the time to join. The discount is still on

14. serving corp members who will pop in September/October can apply. Just upload your callup letter in place for Nysc discharge
