Is a score of 32 for engineering enough to sail through to interview stage for PhD? |
Re: NDDC 2016 Postgraduate Foreign Scholarship Application Commences by VicWonder: 8:44pm On Jun 04, 2016 |
For civil engineers thr questions were so unfriendly. No single civil question, not even common maximum bending or shear force of a simply supported beam. The questions favoured electrical, mechanical and a few chemical engineers. Shame on the test organisers, if anyone relevant from NDDC sees this please find a way to factor the lapses from the examiners into your interview call up list and perhaps consider using a different agent next year. There are too many legitimate complaints about the format and organisation of this years test. 3 Likes |

Most people failed because they refused to ask questions. Most especially those that wrote the second day. In a competitive test like this, you must be friendly with people. Last year results was a bite high when compared to this year. Most people passed. NO COMPLAIN from applicants despite that fact the organization was poor. They repeated all questions last year. NDDC used Mr.Godson. he was applauded. This year, they also consulted Mr. Godson.Now, he employed the same approach used in 2015, applicants are complaining about method they once applauded. I was against this approach last year, most applicants misunderstood me. I guess they can see the adverse effect now. Any way, I wish u all success. |

dexter1983:I agree with you dexter1983 .. I guess the prof who was contacted to set those computer questions has a major in computer architecture. He just dogged into computer architecture and Operating system and concentrated all his questions therein .. I can assure you that those questions were/are not pragmatic and very low leveled. |

ND4Best:I have forwarded an email to the hierarchy of NDDC, but I will be expecting an honest review from a few of you guys to back it up. Doing so, Im sure all these will change next year. Its either the organisers sit-up or get kicked out. We cant be chanting "CHANGE" and insist on unjust ways. So far I have compiled these observations: 1. Questions repetition (buggish-Algorithm) 2. Unfair selection process (A lot of high potential candidates will be unfairly dropped) 3. Test not standardized (This goes against standard International practices) Lets wait and see what the selection process will be like. **fingers-crossed** |

professorgome:Exactly my point... If you're using a skill based test, let it be. If you're using an aptitude test, then let it be. You cant appraise a candidate's performance potential using just one topic, this is not classwork. Its a NO-NO. |

professorgome: I happened to write on the 2nd (Thursday). The questions for ICT were so narrowed into the core subjects like "Digital Logic Design, Data Structure, software engineering, fundamentals of algorithms and advance computer architecture". At first, i was like how on earth will this guys bring this kind of questions into an exams like this... Well, i was lucky when i stumbled to get my 41/50 out of the hall after several system issues when they used IE browser to drive the exams with an incomplete browser plugins. I had to switch to FIREFOX to avoid further issues Well i won't dispute the very fact that the questions where easy!!! Men it WAS VERY HARD. As below: (1) Consider a max heap, represented by the following array; 40,30,20,10,15,16,17,18,4 After inserting a nodes with value 35.Which of following is the updated max heap? (2) The boolean expression AB'CD'is? (3) How can you define an interrupt? (4) In which one of the following methods for resolving the priority, the device with the highest priority is placed in the first position, followed by lower-priority devices up to the device with the lowest priority, which is placed last in the series? (5) Sieve Technique can be applied to selection problem? (6) Some bit field members are stored: I) left to right II) right to left III) in circular array. and so on........ All i can say is, you just need to practice very well for the interview. Because from experience, you can score the highest but you are not guarantied to get the scholar because interview is another hard phase of this marathon. God is the only answer to all of our questions and not man. You never know that your Scored 7 can take you to where you never expected... Keep praying and believe in him. Also pray for good governance of NDDC 2016 because 2015 government was really a mess. Can you imagine i was interviewed with an IPAD+INTERNET last year? lol.... I know this year will be good and we will have a lot of lucky people. Let's all pray for Mrs. Ibim Semenitari because she's a woman of her words just like our dear Dr. Christy Atako. I wish Dr. Christy Atako was on board.... Na God WIN |

jezrel90: Please which address did you foward your complaint to? I'll like to do same. Engineering is a very wide field, from Agric to Civil, to Petroleum, Mech, Polymer etc.. I don't know why a general engr exam will consist of over 70percent of electrical questions. It is unacceptable. 1 Like |

My test was medical. The questions were all totally out of line. It was Really an embarrassing situation to witness as the failure rate remains alarming. I must say it wasn't just a fair choice of questions. They would have specified the field of medical candidates they needed in the entire process |

aamstih: I just know the test was scheduled such that everyone from the same state write at once.....i think its good since the cut off will vary by state... Exception to this are guys that wrote on 4th, some of which did not get scheduled initially.... MyTake |
Re: NDDC 2016 Postgraduate Foreign Scholarship Application Commences by Nelzone(m): 12:59pm On Jun 05, 2016 |
Oga u people paro too much. The test was arranged by states, and cut off is also by states. if u feel u wrote the first day and got 34, meaning the test was equally hard for those from ur state, meaning u peoples cut off wd be lower. then ur other guys that wrote the next from another state, that they are all gettin 50/50, their cut off will also become high, so make una kul down, these people cast somehw, but they also know wat they are doin. When u get to the interview u might hear people that got 20 and got call, meanwhile u might know someone that got 35 for that same field, and was not called. if u care to ask the there, they will tell u the person was from another state. If they dont zone the slots by state, dont u knw that some states would be gettin so much why some wont get one. Whether or not una agree, people from some states areusually more intelligent (based on stats) than others. I didnt mention any state oooo. lol. so peeps relax. and just keep prayin, last last, na God na get power Thermok: |

engribanga: 41/50. Whao! Did do guess work? Or you actually new the answers. The 19 I got were all guessed work. Tell me, did you see the questions before that day? The way you listed those questions makes one believe that an insider or something showed you the questions and you studied them. Because there is no way anybody would have scored 30, except you are lecturing computer architecture. God will see us through. |
