[quote=oops]anyone with the list of unaccredited colleges? and what does inorore means?


Inoorero is a Kikuyu word meaning “the sharpening place”. IU by concept positions itself as an institution that sharpens people’s minds, knowledge, attitude and skills. To achieve the vision and mission of the University, IU is guided by the following core values that guide our culture, programs, approach to learning, delivery and processes.....

A few years down the line it will re-brand itself to IU University or something.

A while back I was having a general talk with friends when one of them said that graduates from uni no. 8 and 14 are given least priotity during job inetrviews and hiring process. Ati because the program and teaching methodologies are too 'light' and arent earned but bought unlike in other campuses.

I dont know how credible this is, maybe some one from HR induistry can enlighten us

Because of the courses it offers (mostly agriculture based), it may not be in the lime light, however EGERTON is much higher than the position its placed in.

Besides, its students always beat all others in that Zain/celtel/airtel challange every year.

Who has issued this list and what is the criterion.

I am surprised to see Strathmore at number two, and KeMU above Catholic University. Among the private universities, perhaps only three fit the bill of a university; Catholic, Daystar and Strathmore

Going by the style of university management and organisation. Institutional commitment to match market-economy needs, I would expect Strathmore to top the list followed by University of Nairobi. But again, the range of courses offered is not the same so that would be unreliable as a measure of better or worse.

My point is the university doesn't make you. Kama wewe jinga hata Strathmore awes saidia.

That said, I have reason to believe that the University to watch over the next few years is Kenyatta.


Lastly, the author of this list list should learn to distinguish between universities and diploma mills.

that inororo name is unique, certainly can make it stand out but then can also be a put off. Being located, as of now in nairobi, i wonder if its not a disadvantage in its marketing because a name is important in branding.

@spend, yes youve mentioned. how many courses does strathmore offer to beat giant univs like UON and KU. A country needs a well rounded learned citizenry qualified in many important fields.
