Wrote this exam in 2013. Had to travel all d way to Abuja from Lagos. For a top notch IT grad the exams should be generally easy. But u have to be on top of your game. I scored 72/100 and wasn't successful. The Anambra boy on my right scored 80 and immediately received a congratulatory message that he was successful. He score was 80 so I'm thinking that is the threshold to qualify. Obviously Noah children (aka know-know or people wey know people) will be involved. Targeting 90 something this time around. There weren't any programming questions if I well. But I won't be surprised if they asked about which IT Company is currently facing INVESTIGATION from the EU and other current IT stuff. I think they asked about the OSI 7 layers as well.

Is it a multiple choice type of questions.

What of Biochemistry graduate... Can we apply?

I wrote it last year (2014) when I was serving and there were some cray networking questions... subnetting, routing, switching, internet security etc.. then some funny current affairs quests like what date did obama d gay law in america, who was the 52nd secretary of state in America, how many ministries in nigeria have websites with .gov.ng Etc.

This is not to discourage any one, read on networking, logical reasoning and out of the box current affairs quests before making that journey to Abuja.

The process is free and fair (I knw people that were serving in d dept that organises d scholarship in nitda and dey knew officials there but didn't still get it).. u are only competing with people from your state, d best 2 from every state gets d msc award.. making it 72 awardees.

If you've entered your result details once, I guess it automatically saves it but does not show it when you return to the page. To confirm, check if you have a TICKED box towards the end of the page. It should read "ed" when you hover over it or click it.

Maybe any can help with this, I'm having issues ing my Degree, NYSC, et al. I doubt if it's the file size. Anyone in same shoes?
Those that have gone past this stage, how did you your docs?

Thanks for the anticipated response....

I applied last year and may do so again this year. The 2014 questions were crazy, a departure from the 2013 format (Didn't apply then but some friends were beneficiaries). MacMaster has said it all. I actually called some friends after the test and adviced them not to waste their transport fares. Lol. In the end, they wished they had listened. The process is fair to the best of my knowledge. Just read and hope for the best. It's just 2 beneficiaries per state. Shalom.

if you win the scholarship..there will be a screening session.. They will only ask what course you wanna read, whether you already have ission or planning yo apply for ission (so it's still very much open). If you can tell them that biotechnology involves or s ICT in medical sciences or whatever sciencr..then you are fine. Afterall,,the world is now after multidisciplinary research. But if they still refuse, they will only tell you to immediately apply for another ission on a purely ICT course which ofcourse is very easy to get.

Yes. It was multiple choice computer based.

CCNA questions in essence

Nooo not CCNA specifically. More like general networking questions that any IT grad should be aware of. I then study with GRE Computer Science sample questions. It was an overkill as the NITDA questions weren't as hard.

Travelled from Enugu to Abuja last year for this exam. Very annoying set of questions. When Obama signed gay right law, how many agencies have websites, etc.... I ask and wonder how these kind of questions is a good metric for an IT scholarship selection process. Well i have successfully applied but travelling from Lagos to Abuja for the exam? I dont know.

Where can I get the PIN from?

You can get the pin from Shoprite, McDonalds or KFC.

I just graduated...Not gone for NYSC yet, can I apply

If you eventually get the scholarship, you'll need NYSC Certificate for screening/accreditation and it will be very painful if you have to forfeit the award because of NYSC certificate. So you'll have to wait for next year.

I experienced same. You must convert them to pdf format and click on top. It'll bring out a window where you'll all at once. If you only select one at a time, it won't work

CCNA questions in essence

ccna questions were few. But general IT knowledge, learn all u can about microsoft Word, templates, etc, everything u can on nitda. The maths was based on simple deductive reasoning. Bottom line, prepare thoroughly
