Having exactly 4.5 in each semester for the remaining seven semesters CANNOT give you a first class!!!
It can in Uniben. 100lvl is just 10% of the total CGPA. So yeah

It depends on how your university calculates CGPA. Mine uses an incremental basis of points with respect to the level while some universities uses a flat rate.
Infact, after my 400L, my CGPA slipped from 4.74 to 4.44 due to distractions and a lot of grooving and pride. Everybody saw me as the designated faculty scholar and girls were everywhere. Infact, I barely went anywhere without one or two Engineering girls tagging along and so my CGPA suffered.
So I knew I needed to be very serious to get a first class and I got a 5.0 in 500 level.

So with regards to your question, if your university is like mine, a 4.5 throughout the remainder of your stay will get you a first class.

I really need to get a first class degree.But my secondary school days werent as good,it's not that I am not thanking God,but I feel inferior to those who scored 280+ in JAMB.
Can you drop hints on how I can make it in the university.I opted for computer science.
Thanks

It can't happen anywhere.

Even if 100L is 1% of the total CGPA, so long as it's 4.27, you need to score way higher than 4.5 in your remaining semesters to make at least 4.5

Yes u can..

All u need is a motivation.

U need to target 5.0 in at least 3 -4 semesters and nothing less than 4.6 in others.

5.0 is easy. Target 75 in all ur courses for that semester. Attend class and don't procrastinate.

PM me let us have a deal.

If u push your CGPA to 4.5 I will give u 50k.

And 20k every semester u are still in that 4.5 till u graduate.

I also want deal o

Really undecided. 10% equates 0.5 n scoring 4.27 means having 0.427/0.5. I see no reason why you still can't make a first class

Perhaps, you didn't understand what I posted.

If he makes exactly 4.5 every semester for the next 7 semesters, he CANNOT make a first class.


If you don't understand that one, I'm afraid I can't help you.

You're feeling inferior for the wrong reasons...

If you want to feel inferior, let it be towards those that currently have excellent/very good despite not reading hard.

Secondary school/ JAMB/ WAEC/ PUTME are all in the past.


If you want to make it in university;
a. Read your book and avoid bad company.
b. If you can't do that, carry expo and make sure you don't get caught.
c. If you can't do that, have enough money to sort your lecturer.
d. If you can't do that, pay someone to write for you and make sure you don't get caught.

Good luck in your endeavours.

I think you should take each course as it comes and focus on obtaining a good grade per course.The more A's than B's the better.All you need now is to "focus",and with "determination", coupled with prayers.

Crop, Soil and Pest Management. But I have special interest in computer science coz I write codes. So, I wrote jamb again and scored 286 but I'm not using it anymore. The sad thing is that, I prepared for the UTME at the expense of my course. So I had a straight drop from 4.57 to 4.28 and now 4.25. It's really painful though, but I want to make amends.
permit me to deviate a little. since your interest isn't in what you're currently studying now and with your good jamb and post utme score having put in so much efforts into getting such scores why not just go ahead with your plans to study computer science? because your problem from what i can see is lack of interest and passion in what you're doing and passion is everything don't just waste such good jamb and post utme score.

Your case is a very very Hopeful one Bro.

Back in Uniport I knew of a higher level Gas Engineering guy, that was having a CGPA of 1.82 in his first semester, (Having about 9 more). He graduated with a first class.

It's all about improving on what works best for you and setting your standards/discipline towards success.
Finally, there's a place for God's grace.

Fire down Bro.

Re: Can I Still Graduate With a First Class? by JohnWriter: 7:34am On Oct 08, 2017
The answer to your question is Yes, but you must want it bad enough!

Do you know the courses and their units for the remaining 3 semesters? If Yes, simulate your CGPA by computing the minimum grade you require per course to maintain a minimum 4.50 CGPA, that way you know your starting point.

However, one guaranteed option is to get all As in the 3 semesters left.

First class is good, it opens doors!

Here is how to compute CGPA: Multiply your grade per course with the units per course (from year one); add up the total, then divide that total by the sum of all units per course (from year one).

All the best.

I'm presently on 4.25 after dropping from 4.57 to 4.28 and then to 4.25. I relented due to some issues. Because, I had several options before me so I started losing interest in my course.

Now, my question is, can I still make a first class degree having spent 3 semesters out of 10.

Its possible if you can make 5.00 in the 3 semesters.

Piece of cake. In my first year my Gp was 0.7 but graduated with 3.9. The only thing that stopped me from getting first class was my first year result. Just try and get an A in your final year project and any course with a good unit to boost your result. Then just sit and watch miracles happen

Wow! Thanks.
I have ten semesters in all.
My results so far:
4.2 first semester
4.35 second semester

I have seven semesters left.
I just hope I make it.

I just saw your post "chemical Engineering".
That's equally my course smiley

you are well on your way with a CGPA of 4.47-4.49 currently...a lot of room to make up..keep up the good work & do not rest on your oars..

what school?

3 out of 10: There's still hope. Go back to the drawing board and try and see how you can get back on track. It comes with a price. All the best.

It's mathematically possible. You'll need to get an average of 4.7 for the next 7 semesters.
