Thx for the info but if I perform very well in the exam, does that means I will not pay for the course I want to enroll in?
Even if you score 100/100, you will still pay. NIIT will only give you some discount. No full scholarship.
Oga Jide, pls must I be computer student before i can write the test?
No. Anyone can take the test.
Don't mind nonsense unscropulous element call NIIT they will just eat your money and give you less package. Don't bother yourself at all for this program. Their standard is now far below expected. Their is no scholarship anywhere from this people, it is just concept to eat peoples money. I have onces being thier.
Eat peoples money? How? The fact is that it is not a full scholarship. If you perform well, you will get some discount. besides, the scholarship is FREE. Just ensure that if you can't afford the fee for the course of your choice, DO NOT pay any registration fee or whatsoever after you might have seen your result.
so what kind of questions do they ask in this exam please?
I i be you, just look for any standard IT organisation that offers the course you want but not this NIIT. Even though you pass their exams, you will still not be happy for what you are paying for. I know what i am talking about.
Eng, Maths, verbal and quantitative reasoning questions. These might change though….
Am in bayelsa currently and going through the list of the centers in there list, there is no center in the south-south part of the country, anyway out?
You can contact them to ask for a test centre close to you.
