TCU to open second round admission in AUG. THE second round of applications processed by the Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU) through its Central Admission System will be opened on August 1 to August 22, 2011.
The second round will be opened to those who will not be selected during the first round and applicants who did not apply during the first round of application, which was closed on May 31, this year.
According to the TCU Executive Secretary, Professor Sifuni Mchome, the names of unselected applicants will be posted on the TCU website and on the media immediately after the first round of selection is completed. He however did not mention the exact date when the names will be posted.
According to professor Mchome, candidates aspiring to join higher education institutions and could not apply by the 31st May 2011 are advised to apply.
"During the second round both unselected first round applicants and new applicants will be processed using the Central Admission System and selection results will be announced before 30th September 2011," said professor Mchome in the press Release posted in TCU website on Wednesday.
TCU advises University institutions not to admit any student outside the Central Admission System, to avoid unnecessary complications in the admission process.

Comment please TCU can u please release the first round of selected students immediatly so as to allow early preparation for others and who will be unselected to start applying.
Comment If the criteria applied in selecting candidates for higher learning institution base on the same standard why those who are considered unqualified fight to apply for the second time. For student this is wastage because if a student was considered unqualified why then should he/she qualify for the second time unless you say your system is subjected to error that you want the student to pay for while isn't their fault.
I suggest if you really intend to help this guys who will not be selected in the first round you should reprocess the same names before you call for other applications.
Regards
Comment does this mean that a student will be required a gain to pay 20,000/= as application fee? you have the list of those who applied why can't you make a second selection from that list? Or you are using it as an opportunity to make money as at all a student is required to pay again.
Comment The system is good because it helps to avoid bias and other human errors during selection, but I recomend futher improvement to be done to encrease its efficience since its still low.Otherwise, you have agood starting.keep on.
Comment THESE ARE THE DE-SERIOUS DEEDS ACTUALLY. WHY WASTING OUR TIME? AND WHO'RE THOSE TO APPLY SECOND TIME? WHAT'S THE CRETERIOR FOR ADMITTING FIRST ROUND APPLICANTS? BE SERIOUS COME ON! THIS'S PEOPLE'S LIFE, TAKING US FOR GRANTED DOESN'T MAKE SENSE;
Comment Tcu should should conduct second selection for unselected applicants of first round. By so doing justice can be done

Why are young people in a rush to get married?
By Joseph Mtebe
This week, I visited the street where I was raised and the elementary school I went to.I was surprised at the rate at which my former playmates were rushing to motherhood and fatherhood.The question I therefore had to contend with at almost every household I went to was, when are you getting married?
“You’re grown up now, you should find a girl,” they kept asking.
I wasn’t surprised at all because lately it has become the life style around here.
Although I have been reading all these fine books on how to find a better half, I must admit that I haven’t been successful in that department.
I just can’t imagine thinking of diapers when I can hardly sort my own life out.The number of those who are already mothers and those expecting is enough to awe any one. As much as it astonished me, they were equally surprised that I was still in college with no wife and no child.
“What are you waiting for? Life doesn’t wait for anyone, it goes on and on. What legacy are you going to leave behind, just in case, something happens?” one said.
Here they were, talking about legacy in an era when parenthood is no longer about legacy but a great responsibility.
I simply quashed these guys’ assertions as some simply misguided fantasies. Many of these friends in the street never saw the inside of a secondary school, let alone college. And so, while pitying them, I can’t help wondering what the future holds for the poor off-springs.
However even then a second thought came up recently when Asha, whom we go to college together, called.
“I’m reminding you of the deadline.” She said.
“What deadline?” I had almost forgotten.
“It’s my wedding, it’s Sh50,000 for single and twice that much for a double card,” she said. Gosh,I hadn’t forgotten but I was just trying to forget. I had dozens of contribution cards to attend to, most of them from colleagues in college.
These cards all had something in common, a deadline and minimum pay contribution as though it were some loan of some type. Yet no one seems to care about the contributors when they are deciding to tie the knots. It has either become fashionable or people just don’t have a choice.
I say fashionable because everyday people come up with news that they want to get married.
The lack of choice comes in when there is a possibility of giving birth to an illegitimate child and because they cannot bear the shame, they have to wed ASAP!
But as I said, I think it is fashionable these days to have a baby, and well, start a family of your own.
Because like in my class these days, everyday there’s gonna be another girl coming dressed in some loose clothing aka dira.
I posed this question the other day to my friends and they had differing opinions.“Our course is a four-year programme, yet some people’s biological clocks are ticking away. The only recourse left is to at least do both things at the same time,” said Irene.
“I think these are accidents just like many others,” said Neema.Well accidents or no accidents, I thought people were entitled to their own, rational decisions. If someone of my age in the village or elsewhere can, and does actually marry, I shouldn’t follow the bandwagon because it’s the order of the day. If anything, to borrow Ngugi Wa Thiong’o’s words, I will marry when I want, and to add, when I can.
