GENERAL NOTICE

DISQUALIFICATION GROUNDS:

1. (i) Candidates who have not completed the National Youth Service Corps programme or

(ii)currently undergoing a Postgraduate programme need not apply.

Such applicants will be automatically disqualified.

EDITORIAL:

This session is very worrisome for most applicant especially if they are still serving.
let me say t categorically clear here, what the school said and what people are interpreting are two different things.


(i) Candidates who have not completed the National Youth Service Corps programme:

this is saying if you have not served you cannot apply, using another section of the requirement to better understand this session as lawyers normally do

if you go down to point 4 its says


All academic transcripts must reach the Deputy Registrar/Administrative Secretary, School of Postgraduate Studies on or before the start of the session admission is being sought.

here it means during screening is when your papers will be examined if they are correct or not.

so when is screening?

screening is done after a candidate must have been successful in the examinations and offered admission.

in this case, 2016 set, tat will be later in the year, DECEMBER/JANUARY 2016/2017

Now, the big question is this, will those corpers currently server have their discahge certificate by december?

The answer is YES, they will.

so why the hoot, anybody disqualifies themselves on this flemsy Excuse?


since 2011/2012 i have been on this game, i have , i repeat I have never seen any corper who applied for the form while still serving that was disqualified, because as i said, your NYSC dischareg cert will be out by the time admission/screening time comes.

this is so simple and common sense that many people miss it and miss out.

this means corp members currently servicng and will pass out in septeember are eligble to apply for unilag msc or masters programme.
those that will pass out next year cannot apply for this years' form

i will need Sen Ben Bruce help here.


Hope that clears that.


(ii)currently undergoing a Postgraduate programme need not apply.

MY ADVISE:

Its a taboo if you is running a PG COURSE in Unilag and still want to apply for another one, it not done, because it will lead to clash in matric number.

As a student, you retain your matric number anytime you study in UNILAG either undergrad level of postgraduate level.

What is Possible?

This is what you can do and its possible, you can run another pg program in another school while you are a student in unilag still. but  dont get the rationale or this, msc/masters is not fishing festival, its hard work!!!

Next we will treat the 2nd, 3rd and 4th requirement i details.


2. Candidates awaiting Bachelor's degree results need not apply.

3. A holder of Degree obtained from an Outreach/Satellite are not eligible to apply.

4. All academic transcripts must reach the Deputy Registrar/Administrative Secretary, School of Postgraduate Studies on or before the start of the session admission is being sought.
