Careers Nigeria is proud to present The Graduate Standardisation Examination (GSE). Born at a time when corporate organizations have resorted to aptitude tests for all graduate entry level applicants, the GSE is the widely accepted standard examination that replaces aptitude tests for Member Organizations.
Today, GSE scores are accepted by a host of organisations who want to increase their quantum, speed and frequency of graduate hire. More employers are converting to the GSE standard which engenders equal opportunity, meritocracy and fairplay.
The GSE offers graduates a one stop shop for their pre-employment testing and ensures that graduates ONLY have to write one set of tests at a convenient exam centre, instead of travelling accross the country, risking their lives, writing tests for different companies, not to mention the financial costs involved.
Graduates are strongly encouraged to sign up for the Graduate Standardisation Exams and then apply for graduate jobs - as their chances of finding employment is higher with this unique service.
well,its such a thin dt d recruitment is taking a new shape in ds country,its a nice improvement God help us all.
this is a good start for graduates
Gr8 things coming..could be better i guess?!!!!!!!!!!
This is great. I hope it works out as envisaged.With this graduates will be saved the stress of writing numerous aptitude tests.
Thats great.the prob however lies in getting employers to consider it.it requires a change of mind you know.
Job search just got easier, I pray all HR Dept. of companies would take advanatge of this great initiative.
This is a goog development. Is it not possible for one to pay directly through a bank instead of ATM interswitch. If this is possible, which of the banks can one go and make this payment?
Hey, shey this nor be SCAM
Na waoooooooooooooooo.Well,its a nice thing if it will work bc deres always nigeria factor dt makes things not 2work here
GSE is in the process of integrating with many recruitment websites. To understand what this means, visit www.ubacareers.com and click on Graduate Hire. It allows applicants apply from wherever they are, as long as they have sat their GSE.
People are really thinking. I live in Kaduna and I have attended 3 tests so far in Lagos. God knows how difficult it was. Till now I did not even hear from them. I do not even know how I performed. From the info they have. they said we will get info on our scores. its good so that at least I know.
My prayer is just for other employers to use it and be true to it.
I will like to be fully informed on how to go about the Exams, i have so much intrest . It will be an additional value to resume and employment opportunity for job seekers like us as young graduates .
thanks 4 the latest development
try harder i like what u are doing
kudos 2 dragnet.its a good innovation
please i will like to be informed when, where and how the exam is going to looks like.
THIS COULD WORK. ONLY THING THOUGH……
HOW MANY EMPLOYERS WILL GIVE CREDIBILITY TO THIS
AVENUE?WE ALL KNOW OF SHL’S
Go to www.gse.org.ng you will find information there
gse…dragnet…pls don’t exploit us
No problem if it will really work.Your company should ensure that age factor will not be the determining factor for recruitment.
well, how can we get started?…
writing d exam and passing is not wat really matters now. The problem is “will it be recognised by these companies?”…
pleaseeeeeees! it high time they stopped fooling us around.
lets just hope and pray.
Well,if it’s going 2 help fresh gradutes get good job without using age as a determining factor for employment then good idea.
SIR I WOUID LIKE TO PAY BUT SENDING OF MY ATM DETAILS IS MY GREATEST FAIR,CANT YOU GIVE A SPECIFIC ACCOUNT WHERE EVERY BODY CAN PAY IN TO?
its a good idea but why do graduates need to part with money b4 been employed.all this recruiting agents pls ooooooooooooo.i hope u re not james samson
well, nice. hope it works.
Its’s a nice idea but why do people use the influence of top government offficals to secure jobs of their chioces not by qualifications again.I hope n pray there will be changes about this.Thanks.
the money is not the major problem,what is the assurance of the interview and probably the job after the text.
jobs shld be awarded to d deserved candidates nd not tru where a persons legs can take him to talkn about the long leg theory
nice initiatives.Pls I need information like actual cost? Is it #5000 or #7000, pls does d cost include materials and where is their office in Lagos. Kudos to careers nigeria 4 giving credibility to dragnet nigeria.
please,i need information about GSE;the centres, where to register and other vital information
dj, this is not exploitation, quite the opposite as you will see from the responses to the other comments.
deji et al, the reality is that the cost of job searching will never be zero Naira. On average across Nigeria, it costs N2,500 each way to travel for 1 test with 1 employer, depending on where you are traveling from and to. The GSE allows Graduates to pay once, sit one test at their nearest accredited test centre, and apply pre-tested to a large number of employers, without additional expense, over a two year period.
The SME’s have jumped on this through the EDS in Lagos Business School, where almost 5,000 small & medium sized companies can now reach tested grads, but we continue to chase the big names: (see www.dragnetnigeria.com/vacancies.aspx
See www.ubacareers.com (click on Graduate hire)
See www.skyebankng.com/skye_online.php
GT Bank has started to call graduates for interviews, based on their GSE scores (those that applied at www.dragnetnigeria.com/vacancies.aspx).
Nigerian companies are showing us that they really believe in fairness and meritocracy, and the GSE is unravelling a lot of truth. Some HND holders are scoring as much as 68% while at the same time second class upper grads are scoring anything from 82% to 14%. With GSE, companies set a cut-off mark, making it difficult for “connection”.
Save money, sit the GSE, improve your visibility to more and more employers. Apply for jobs with your GSE ID either on the specific company’s website or at www.dragnetnigeria.com/vacancies.aspx
We simplify the job search process and save on cost, for both applicants and employers.
Wole,
The cost is N5,000. A small number of sample questions are provided on the website.
Lagos has 1 centre in Lekki (Dragnet Test Centre). A new centre has been furnished in Surulere, inside the NYSC Secretariat. This centre will be commissioned this month and will allow job seekers browse recruitment websites only, free.
Emovon,

Mr. GSE, please tell me which other Banks you are now working for or about to start working for. I prefer the banks due to the salary and the exposure. give me this information. also give me a phone number let me call you. if you can.
hello,
good job i say, but i registered and about to login in to pay and schedule the exam but the page wont just open, sort of error. pls correct the error. thanks
The GSE is a welcome development.pls i want to know if there is no Age discrimination for the use of GSE score to gain employment into clients organisation and also how can I get GSE past questions to practice with?
Glad that the era of writing test under undescribable environs is gradually passing out.Well,I hope with GSE,most graduates will get their dream job.GSE,please keep to the objectives and remember that many graduates have been robbed off by agents.Guy,lets all keep our finger crossed as GSE purport that it gives a level playing field irrespective our ‘paper’.Regards to all job seekers,God will see us through.Hang on,job is coming your way soon.
Its a nice initiative but, it is very necessary that u let us know the firms/organizations u are partnering with so as to convince us. There are just too many opportunist out there that sees unemployment in Naija as an avenue to defraud. Its not just enough to tell us of ur offices all over but let these organization that would use ur service associates themselves with the GSE. Moreso, considering the number of unemployed graduates we have in Naija, 5000.00 is too much. We are job seekers! Greatest Nigerian Graduates Beware!!!
I must confess dat de amount is high for an immediate graduate job seeker like me.
Can u mention IT- and engineering-related firms hooked 2 the organistion?
Also, hw can one get de GSE card in Yola, Jalingo n Gboko [Benue]
Well its ok but it shud be made free and accessible to evry1.
hi Mr GSE.
its a good job you are doing, keep it on. please i want to know if you have a centre in Ogun State or you tell me the closest centre to my resident. i stay in ijebu igbo. thank you sir or ma.
how do need for the exam?
thanks for this, DSL, this is definitely going to take a lot of stress of our shoulders. i just hope it does not get corrupted too quickly.
DRAGNET/GSE STOP EXPLOITING UNEMPLOYED GRADUATES.DO THE RIGHT THING, COMPANIES PAY RECRUITMENT AGENCIES TO RECRUIT PEOPLE NOT YOU RIPPING OFF HUNGRY AND DESPERATE UNEMPLOYED GRADUATES.
Dragnet more grease 2 ur elbow. I APPRECIATE UR CONCERN 4 THE GRADUATE.
well i have not seen or had of any centre in abuja. is there going to be class and a pretext before the actual test lets have your details
i think there should be an alternative to using ATM no for payment. it could be risky to do that u know….breach of security. i ‘ll like to know d alternatives
yessssssssss we are getting there!!!!!!!!!!i think is about time God want to answer the prayer of those of us who dont have connections. gse is a level playing ground. all asundries should abide with it
how does one know if he has passed. like me my score is 35 should i still go a head and apply?????????? i need ur candid reply
how can i make my payment.cant i write the exam on net.pls reply
please always update on any vacancies in the banking sector
how do i register 4 d GSE. i mean payment,syllabus and where 2 write d exam.pls reply to my e-mail.
lets hope this works
It’s a welcomed idea.It will be appreciated more if we can write it on line and know our scores immediately.
It’s a welcome developement if the employers of labour will abide by it.It is going to go a long way of reducing stress of writing so many aptitude test organised by defferent oganizations.
PersonallY, I do not believe this.
I have been attending many interview paying for money, at the end no job.
Please Mr GSE how many % assurance will you give me to secure a job if I pass your exam.
i pray it work out.And help us all 2 suceed in them
why are the collectin money since d say its free for pple
i’m glad the wheat can now be properly seperated from the chaff
this is nigeria a country where the unemployed have 2 pay 2 get a job, in developed country jobs are advertised in the paper Mr GSE i know u were once an unempoled b4 u thot of sellin GSE card to the unempoled, becos of the unempoled sector is the LARGEST sector in Nigeria u just tapped into it no one blames u ,but wat am sayin is if u can reduce the amount of ur fees and give Nigeria graduate a chance………………….if we have money y look 4 a job
i dont understand how this GSE works cold someone plz explain……..
Well its nice getting to know about GSE, but the fact still remains that u guys need to prove to us dat it has actually favour some people so that others can be motivated.
leave a msg in my box on hw to go abt writing the exam.Thanks
Its a nice idea anyway but the fact that we will write an exam is what baffles me. Are the questions going to be like the normal GMAT questions? I really need an answer to my question in other to know where to start from. Thanks
This is good news for an I.T driven recruitement. Void of all forms of nigeria factors. Hope it will spread to all cities in Nigeria and not Just only lagos, Abuja and PH.
hi
will like to know more about gse. and where their offices r located.
Its indeed a great idea, it will definitely help we young,fresh and resourceful graduate reduce the too much stress of job palaver in Nigeria. But if I may ask, can we meet some of the beneficiary’s of this program. Just to know how authetic it is. Thanks GSE
Wel i am glad atlist we are making a step. but my question is this house, this STEP is it for better or for worse please some one help me here
Goodday Mr GSE, having gone through the whole comments, i did not find any
one testifying of how this GSE thing has worked for him or her. Does it mean no one has gotten a job with it? then how do you convince us that this GSE thing really works. What am saying here is that we need testifiers comments to convince and motivate those of us who are interested in this GSE exam. Another thing i like to know is, is there a GSE Book in form of GMT that one can study before going for this exam? what and what do we study before going for this exam. And i think it will be better if u can provide us with an account number to pay in this money because using ATM is quite risky. Though your price is on the high side but if we are sure of getting a job with this GSE score then one can actually risk it. I really need an answers to my questions. Thanks
Please, how does this work. Thank you.
A whole lot of nonsense. Why pay for every thing in Naija?
I need more examples on abstract reasoning and numerical reasoning.Please,kindly send it to my mail.
I wrote the test and i got a pretty good score. However, I hv not been invited by any company till date even though I applied to many organisations using the gse score. I hv not seen, heard or read of anybody gettin a job thru this test. So I dont realy know if the thing is real or its another means of making money off job seekers
