flamesjay: what held u from making 2:1

Because I went to the university to learn n b good at what I studied..not make First class or 2nd upper..I didn't set them as my priorities...and for the record,I don't think there is any question a 2:1 student from my field would solve that I wudnt...

femidejulius:

Na lie. If those 2:2 are more smart and brilliant, why couldn't dey make first class or 2:1? Unless you talk of private universities in Nigeria, 2:1 and first class graduates are academically much better than the 2:2 or third class graduates

Why are you excluding private universities? If we are talking of Nigeria graduates, we'll talk all. So see it from that angle. I came out with 2'1 from unilag but I don't see those with 2'2 as dullard because circumstances warranted some graduates to found themselves on 2'2 honor.

flamesjay: even in academic quality 2:1 is far better than 2:2. If you talk of smart what prevented the person from making 1:1 or 2:1. Their class of degree were measured by quality in education

Not all class of honors (2'1 & 1'1) are measured by quality of their academic. This is social network, it wouldn't be fair revealing some facts (with prove) about some schools here. In a nutshell most students buy their way out.

I quite agree with you that some bought theirs. There are others who got 2:1 or 1:1 by hardwork, giving enough time to their studies. Those who got upper class by hardwork and merit are more smart than 2:2 because they were tested with same measurement (exams, quiz, term paper, test etc).
It is proven in the universities within and outside Nigeria that 2:1 by merit is a great honour; Latin called it magna cum laude. Also, virtually all lecturers who are good are 1:1 or 2:1. So, to get lecturing job as graduate assistant in reputable university, one must have 2:1 or 1:1

Edo peeps a friend need advice. He wrote is name and details on his answer booklet but after answerin his questions he 4got to write his name on the printed question paper due to time. But he placed his printed paper witin the answer booklet that has his name and which kind of acted as a back cover to the printed one. Tho they told him not to worry but he is still scared. Needs advice

name was to be written on only the answer booklet and not question paper

So he's go nothin to worry about? Besides as stated did he submit his sheets well?

That's exactly what I'm talking about, some bought their way out while some worked hard for it. And as regarding the lecturing offer you're talking about, it's fact. But I personally know that 2'2 lecturers are good in the aspect of delivering lectures while 2'1 and 1'1 are ONLY good in research.

Hello guyz this is a very important message I want to deliver to you guyz do not worry the exams is over and u have did what u could do so don't belame anybody that's just the naija nature of recruitment is not the first time we have seen this it happens in immigiraton, nigerian Army short service and I remember even NIA exams was worster than this but pple still scare through so don't just pray and do ur little follow-up if u can because merit list will be there for sure but the remaining will 50% connects and pls note don't give anybody kobo in the name of helping you because dey are all Scammers for any reliable info add me on wats-app 08099443607 then we talk. Wish everyone that write best of Lucks hope to see you in Interview stage

poundsmaker: Lolzzzz, na lie. Don't use your personal ability to justify others. Most 2'2 graduates are far better than 2'1 even some 1st class honors.

I'm not judging,read my post well,no matter how good a 2.2 grad is,he can not be called to write test in big firms,oil coys,therefore having no experience on this type of exams,my comment is based on the exams and the state of our country,I agree with the fact that some 2.2 are better than 2.1 and perhaps 1.1 grad according to you.

what are you saying?i do quite agree with the fact that 2.2 is not good enough but don't tell me 2.2 don't get iv from big firms for an aptitude test or is First Bank, Union bank that small to u,the key is having a nicely drafted CV and keeping abreast of what is happening around you.

Agreed, but it's because most employers don't give them the chances of displaying their skills and technical ability in their field of discipline.

I intentionally excluded private universities because almost all of them are glorified secondary schools. Unless you are a total dullard, u should have at least a 2:1 in dos schs.
As for your having a 2:1 from the university, I can't help but wonder y u will think dos with 2:2 are probably better than u. If u must know, I worked very hard to earn my own class of degree. I won't be specific here but I don't have less than a 2:1. In my own department when in sch, all dos with 2:2 ain't academically better than I was.

For dos who believes students probably buy marks to earn at least a 2:1, I think it is almost impossible to do dt(unless the student involved is academically brilliant and just need a few marks to qualify for the 2:1 grade). CGPA's calculations start right from the first year. Therefore, even in a corrupt school, before a student can start having his way (start buying marks), he would have got to the second semester of 200L and even from den till graduation, not all lecturers can be bought. So if dt students has already has very poor grades, there's no way d situation can be salvaged. Such students will nvr end up with a 2:1 or first class.

I dare anyone with a contrary view to reply me

How shalow is ur reasoning..so u hv neva heard of 1.1 or 2.1 student dat cheated tru out dere school days witout bin cut or dose dat buy every single question paper b4 dere exams or dose dat rewrite dere exams at d comfort of dere home zone abi na gp upgrading..

Giannakopoulos: To get a job in this country now is very competitive,you must buy and practise GMAT-styled questions everyday as we saw yesterday,though most of 1.1 and 2.1 grads that wrote the exams didn't find it too strange bc they hv experience writing it for employments in Oil/Gas and other big firms,but for most 2.2 grads,it was like magic to them. The bottom line is: if you want to be employed, go back and study all mathematics topics (0' level) very well,buy GMAT text,practise everyday or you may never get a job,the way Nigeria is going( except for grads in medical field). The only other way you can have a job without doing the latter is,having a very influential person @ the aim of affairs. Thank you!

You are the one dat sparked dis useless argument abt grades. Sumtin dat has no relevance to this thread. GMAT is not Neurology and ANYONE that has a good grasp of basics involved and pays attention to detail can tackle it. The most important tin is practise, not grades.

Right Topic, Wrong Thread!

name was to be written in both

akanbiaa: name was to be written on only the answer booklet and not question paper

TRAINING bro,,,, that is why you go for about 9 months training and after the training you get better from experience!!!

HugoLee: LOL! I find it hilarious when I hear so called 1.1 and 2.1 graduates speaking atrocious english. I don't want to embarrass anybody by quoting their horrendous grammatical errors. You see, the truth is many 2.1 graduates either buy their grades or achieve them by memorizing textbooks and lecture notes (I'm pretty sure that's what you meant by 'hardworking'). That's why most of them have the theoretical knowledge but can't utilise it in everyday life (as seen on an episode of Chuck). Of course there are those who actually excel through sheer brilliance and dedication to their studies, but they're in the minority.
Now let's relate this issue of competence to the DSS recruitment. I posses B.A(Russian), an Advanced Executive Certificate in Criminology and I'm currently preparing to write my Oracle Certified Professional exam. Please tell me this, who is more qualified to be a DSS operative, me or somebody who crammed his way through University? Many of you don't realise that majority of the successful cadets will be field operatives. What good is being able to recite the periodic table offhand going to do when you're surrounded by hostile enemies? The truth is most academically sound individuals hardly ever make good field operatives because they're not very good strategists/tacticians. I'm 100% sure the average 2.1 graduate would panic instead of contemplating evasive manoeuvres.
I'm in no way suggesting 2.2 graduates are better than their 2.1 counterparts. All I'm saying is most of you are either SU or geeks ill-suited for combat/protective assignments.
My people please stop placing so much emphasis on your class of degree. Instead ask yourself what you actually have to offer. The answer you get may shock you.

You seem not to understand. What he means is that 2.1 and 1.1 graduates are more used to GMAT exams because most companies only invite them (ie 2.1 and 1.1) to take their recruitment tests! Whats the need of practicing GMAT when you hardly or never get to write it?

I think I finally figured out what your real problems are. You must have attended a very unserious and highly corrupt institution where absolutely all your lecturers are up for sale. I do also have no doubt your institution encouraged cheating during exams. These has therefore made ur thinking very shallow and packed with sentiments against the virtues of hardwork, diligence and dedication to one's studies. I fortunately happened to attend a more reputable institution whereby even though there's evidences of corruption in the system, it hasn't gotten to these facts(dt occurs in ur institution) u raised here and probably never will.

No wonder people like you believes u can buy your way to get a 2:1 or a first class. Going by your submissions above, perhaps they even pay to graduate with a 2:2 and third class in your former institution of learning

I wonder if you can read and understand,read what @KIOPROSPECT is writing to you,from your comment it shows your critical reasoning section was poor!!!

Case close!!! Focus on the purpose of this thread. I qualified as a Chartered Accountant before I graduated but never look down on people.

To settle this arguement of superiority class of degree, lets take this simple approach: If you graduated with a 2:2 kindly take a look at someone who had 2:1(by merit) whom you graduated with in your department and see if you are more intelligent than the person. Case closed!

Pls pals,does anyone knw if Benue av written dias?

Abuja is taking their test today I guess
