Does anyone have a clue as to when the last year's scholars got their notification? Cos if they got theirs much later than us then we may just be lucky to be expecting it next week.
With each passing day I get happier and Happier bcos God is doing wonderful and amazing things in my life everyday even today. My soul praise the Lord. NDDC, you can only delay but not deny what the Lord has approved.
Thank God for you brother.Quote:

At the same time we the future NDDC Scholars are up on Naija hot Jobs n NDDC site everyday as if we are workin in stock exchange or telephone company killin ourself with a list that should av been a by-gone by now. My heart goes out to those that can't even sleep at night.
A new day comes with a new hope, I will neva let down my faith till i see my name or receive their txt message. I pray yhu do the same bro. Good morn'
My questions is when did this list come out for NDDC scholars last year? Cos that should help guide us on when it will come out this year. Unfortunately some folks as from tomorrow will start loosing their admission offers. God help us.Quote:

@ wiseguy. Last year's list came out in the first week of september. Some of the scholars had to defer their admission to this year.
May the best of our today be the worst of our tomorrowQuote:

@ thiz juncture, permit me to tell yu guyz dat the reason for the delay is that nddc wants the individual state govts to partner & mak the scholars havit inna berra flavour thiz tym.. Buy increasing the funds and number of scholars.. I fink thiz is good, rather dan a hasty lesser decision.. Expect the list on/b4 moro.. Thiz is ma first and last comment on the list issue.. "Plz dnt quote me!!" Thanks & Gudluck All!!
last year, text messages were sent in a 'coded' manner and up to 30% of the scholars did not even attend the interview. The list then came out in December when the injustice had already been done and dusted. If anyone is likening this year to last year, then only GOD is our help. Just know dat what ever happens, GOD is watching in 3D.Quote:

Guy take the chilling pill! Last year list the list came out around the 2nd week of september part of the reason was due to the shake up withe management and dissolution of the board. The full list was published 4th week of september. I got my letter 23rd september i kept in touch with my school and i was given the grace period of coming second week in october, depending on the nature of ur course i wont advice u to toll my line as i resumed 5th week of lectures and pratically struggles in my first semester, my advice is for u to defer ur admission if ur course is pratical base but if it is about submitting essays u can manage to cope but "u go hear am"Quote:

So count it all joy if they are working on paying ur fees asap and giving some financial support before you leave. If not u have to look for community supportto get ur self to the uk before u get paid.
That being said start packing ur bag and buying ur foodstuff in faith like i did as i travelled out of naija on OCtober 11th the very day my visa came out and i arrived the uk on the final date october 12th coincidentally on my birthday. So pray hope and dont worry.
Best wishes

Just a thought though. Thanks.
@kcesa! That was really motivational. Thanx4 sharin' this with the house.
If you can possibly do what @enjayjude just said. Then that meanz u'r really really representin' us. Once again God bless yhu.
Bros, ATAS takes up to 20 working days thats 4 weeks in reality, shouldn't you be looking at deferring your admission to a later date, as most schools open first week of September.? If you get the scholarship, you could stay back and get one year voluntary work experience before you move to start your post-graduate study. I'm even considering doing such now cos a lot of factors are making me reconsider this UK schooling option. You no longer get the 2years post-work study VISA and its hard getting a job with no previous work experience after your Msc. I know its different strokes for different folks (and there are many people who would claim the impossible by faith here), but realistically the thought of coming back to start writing dragnet test again sends cold shivers down my spine. I may have to look at January openings in Canada, truth is majority of us are not keen on coming back unless we are coming back to start a good paying job. And also I wont be fulfilled working as a club bouncer or doorman in a company after MSc.Quote:

Ezme UK isn't against giving anyone a work visa but they want to make sure you are actually working and so if you get an employer who can sponsor you under the Tier 1 visa then you a good to stay.Quote:

I try my best to make projections based on current realities. When @kcesa drops these figures then we could make our personal judgment based on that.Quote:

It is regarded the most important level of the Higher education learning curve. If are statistics are based on Nigerians who did undergraduate there then am sure you will see a very different outcome in the findings.Quote:

Some schools have January start date, do your research well, example University of OttawaQuote:
