Npower: Why You Were Not Selected For Npower Batch C2 After Scoring 50% And Above And Others Scoring Lower Were Shortlisted

If on checking your NASIMS profile you observed you were not shortlisted despite scoring above 50% and even passing the test, you observed you were not shortlisted for the biometric screening, and other Npower Batch C applicants scoring lower than you were shortlisted.

The reason why despite making the cut off mark you were not selected, and others scoring even lower were shortlisted is because of:

1) In the local government area you picked the competition was extremely high, and the local government area had lots of Npower Batch C applicants scoring extremely high, infact lots of Npower Batch C applicants scored above 70%, this would make the chances of someone scoring 50% to be selected extremely low.

2) The Npower Batch C program selected was extremely competitive, N-Teach is extremely competitive due to the nature of the job, and most Npower Batch C applicants chose the N-Teach program, thereby reducing the chances of someone scoring 50% to be shortlisted extremely slim.

3) The number of Npower Batch C applicants in that particular local government area is extremely low, and the highest scored say 30%, even those scoring lower than 30% will be shortlisted.

4) The number of Npower applicants that chose a particular Npower category were few, therefore to make up the numbers, someone even scoring lower than 50% will be shortlisted, for example the N-Health category has fewer number of Npower Batch C applicants, therefore an Npower Batch C applicants that chose the N-health category even with a lower score will be picked to make up for the deficit in the targeted number of the N-Health category.

5) The Npower category might not be available in that local government area, therefore you might not be shortlisted, although under this case the Npower Batch C applicant might be advised to choose another Npower category.

All Npower Batch C2 applicants that have not been selected should continue to check their Npower NASIMS dashboard, remember that the targeted number of Npower Batch C Volunteers will be about a million, and some Npower Batch C Volunteers shortlisted might not honour their selection, therefore those not selected initially might be used to replace Npower Batch C Volunteers shortlisted but were not available due to one reason or the other.
