taiwolusol: You have very Tangible point there, only committed the crime of generalizing. We have seen students the came through the back door emerge the best graduating student.
To answer your question, Life isn't mathematics where 1+1 is always 2. People change and so do their Intellectual abilities!

I saw a post of yours where you said you are 14 and wants to study aeronautic engineering.Currently,I dont think unilag offers that course,i might be wrong thou.
For any engineering course in unilag you must have further mathematics in your o'level,have above 200 in jamb and perform extremely well in your postjamb.
Note:you must be 16 years before enrolling.

oluwaKStar: a lot of d skuls am considering have dis annoying age limits...I don't understand why.

LARRYDKING:

How did u make it that fast? U must have skipped several classes.

LARRYDKING: If u've heard of or experienced the several rigorous tests and screening students of federal varsities have passed through before been offered admission, u'll only but agree with me that it's just the best brains in Nigeria that attends federal schs.

Unilag for example have the policy of admitting candidates who generally merit there admission irrespective of the number. Even thier supplimentary list is always choked up with students who have high score but could not still merit the requirementss. Very good examples of such requirements as it affects all engineering candidates/aspirants of the sch is the possession of at least a credit pass in F-maths at O/level, having a minimum of distinction frm a polytechnic before been quailfied for direct entry among others. After all these, some of their students still graduate will third class and pass.

OAU is another sch where where students who merit their admission can sit at home and expect their names in the first admission list of the sch, same applies in U.I and other federal schs.

Apology to the students of the state unis but this does nt happen in state unis, scoring high and meriting admission requirements cant be totally used as a yardstick for admission, just a phone call frm a prominent member of the society will secure one admission. So if they make 3rd class, we can't really blame anyone for it.

After beating all these requirements to be offered admission into the federal university, why do some students still make as low as 2.2, 3rd class and pass from their schools with all the tests they have passed showing their academic prowess

ednut1: post jamb jamb and waec are not what they teach in uni , forget the so called Merit lots of man know man occurs, there are many factors eg lecturer sadism, student joining cults or becoming club boys, stress, lack of funds etc . and it is a very wrong assertion that private uni students are dull, big lie . i have a friend with 2.1 in economics from *covenant* she blasted ican without failing while there were first class accounting students in unilorin ican was giving slaps

LARRYDKING:

source pls It's nt that i dont believe u, i'll just like to read d full details myself, something must be wrong somewhr. BTW, what's the name of the uni? See, if a 2.86 could beat OAU's best student in any test, he can definately beat the best student of his own sch too in such test. Tell me what i dont knw abt the test.

oluwaKStar: Hey pls..am in ss3...can somebody educate me on how to get to unilag...I mean like d process? How many exams will I write? D content of dis exams? And d minimum scores dat are accepted? ..pls I will be glad if u enlighten mee

you are in ss3 abi?? Go read your books, leave NL alone

youngelder: Guy.. Private universities even produce 3rd class. Bt nonetheless.. Lukin at our society, is ur certificates a tru proof of your intellect? Rememba Soyinka who was a failure here bt now a prof ??
Dont judge pple.. Some 3rd class can compete very well wit first class students in external exams

adeoladrg: Op you're very wrong!

I was a unilag diploma student some years back. Diploma cutoff for pharmacy was 116. I scored 120. A girl who scored 95 got her admission letter before me. I was shocked! I later learnt the VC had his own list, registrar had her own, even the Oba of Lagos had his own, so it depends on who you know.. People who didn't even know these people found some other ways to 'leg' their ways through..

My brother, except you want to deceive urself, it's a normal Nigerian syndrome.

@OmolodMilkman93 Thanks bro.. My diary is down. I'll open a new one soon.

concentrated: Going to d university doesn't mean all u do der is just read and write. It's an all round development. Before graduation u ave to pass tru series of test wic include seminars defence ,practical work etc. U might be good in reading and writing and not bee confident of wat u know. Some xternal forces also affect grade, more also over confidence. U getting high score before admission does not guarantee u first class or 2 one.

2sExy1: the dude is a kid fed from childhood till he got where he is... he hasn't really experience hash realities of life. I used to think like him until my mum died.

MisterLongman: There is this popular notion that lecturers fail their because they don't want them to reach their level... That's why you hear in some schools that a department has never produced a first class or even 2nd class upper student and the department is proud of the status quo..... I don't know if its true or not tho

Olamyyde: 2.2 in a federal school is equivalent to a 1st clasd in a private university

LARRYDKING:
so are u saying something special is happening in the federal unis nt happening in the state'? And what's the 'white house OAU' abt?[/color]
