Frequently Asked Question Before And Afer RSSDA Examination

I had a higher score than someone else who was selected and I was not selected.

A – This is possible if both of you are not from the same LGA. The cut- off mark differs; it may have been higher in yours than his/hers. If you are both from the same LGA, then both of you chose different courses. The course chosen by you may have been more competitive than his/hers.

Only three persons were chosen from my Local Government Area (LGA) while another LGA had up to 5 persons, why?

A – All LGAs had equal chances of 3 each. However, there were 11 chances given to absolute merit irrespective of LGA. Any LGA with more than three chances got the extra through the absolute merit list.

How were the beneficiaries selected?

A – After the selection test, the highest 20 scores overall were selected. Thereafter the highest 10 scores from each LGA were also selected. These 250 persons sat for the alternative to practical test and oral interview. Their scores in all three tests were weighted and ranked. The highest scoring 11 were selected in to the merit list.
