Nigga u just have to move on. I made a 3.45 cgpa which is a 2.2. Just five point to make it 2.1. I didn't have any carry over through my stay in school. I was given 'c' in my project which dropped my grade. When I asked my supervisor why I was given 'c', he told me he awarded me with 'b' but the department reduced it and they was nothing anybody would do about it. Now the reason for this was that, I am an Idoma and my department was dominated by Tiv and so they said they can't give more than two idoma 2.1. I was mad and I thought I have failed, but i still thank God. Many had third class, some were withdrawn but I still have something to show. It was really had for at that time but its reality. Just a couple of time you will be fine

aktem:
My result dropped seriously when i was in 200l and i have been making frantic effort to increase my cgpa since then..although it was increasing but at a very slow rate...@500l,i was close to 2:1 so i tried all my possible best,read as much as i can,hoping i can move to 2:1.
I went to check my final result during clearance few days ago and i realize i finally graduated with 2:2.i have not been happy since then,a lot of thought going through my mind.Thinking about labor market and how i am going to cope,i'm really perplexed.

Any advise for me?i graduated from mechanical engineering dept.

Don't let 2.2 define you

You know what you have upstairs.
Upgrade your skills, get information

And you will employ 1st class to work for u

Shey Dangote, Mark, Adenuga, Even Seun graduated with 1st class??

Work on yourself bro. Though most job in Nigeria requires a minimum of 2.1

That can't stop you from achieving your dreams.

buy sniper naah!

This one is strong




You don't have to look down on yourself




Grade is not common sense.

Nothing to worry about... U myt get a job ahead of someone with 2:1 sef..... Most companies are after what u have to offer not the theory u learnt in school... Just gain skills and experience ur school degree won't be reckon with...i grad with 2:2 I have never looked for job after service... Tho it's grace buh I accepted my first job meant for a some lesser degrees just to gain experience.... Now have carved a niche for myself....i receive job invitations via my profile on Linkedin buh they can't pay me what I worth.... I advised them to go for someone lower.... It's not pride I have built a value for myself

Chikita66:
You would have struggled more to reach 3.5


But its not the end of the world.

sick people everywhere

NwanyiAwkaetiti:
Which street?

YAHOO na

Get a job in a relevant discipline. Get some experience, get a masters degree then apply elsewhere.

Culin:
You're not even happy you graduated

If you don't have anything positive or word of advice to give. Why not just STFU

Are you kidding me right now?

Like say na beans.

Lots of people worry for the wrong reasons hence focusing useful energy on wrong purposes. Please accept the fact that there is nothing you can do to undo the past. 2:2 is the grade a human being like yourself graded you with, but that is not what you are. Who are you? what can you really do? quit worrying(self condemnation) about the labor market and embark on self improvement(development of skills, professional courses etc.) and lastly stop getting distracted, I could tell you are and still currently are. God be with you.

smoke some weed guy

It doesn't really matter. Some of my friends who made 2:2 are in the U.S. doing their MSc for free. It all boils down to what you want to do with your life and how willing you are to go for it. In any case, if I were you, I would go for a masters.

Go for a PGD Program!

lol... you should be happy you even read a course like mechanical engineering... you have hope... start with field engineer jobs, get experience and go from there... if you have power, go for Msc after like 2 years experience...

I graduated from a private school with 2.2 mech Engr... I didn't let that tear me down, worked with telecoms as a field engineer, after 2 years I did my MSC at Unilag, and now interviews don yapa...

And anywhere you see 2.1 jobs, ogbeni apply, what's the worse that can happen??

Fear not bro, God gat you... go for your NYSC especially if Lag, so you can get an engineering company...

Be happy, love God too...

Apply as an intern in a company you hoped to work for..... If you can afford to work without pay... Use that to gain experience to build your CV.

Put your air down. For recruitment info at the company.

Let's meet at the top

@ OP ,Mechanical Engineer,
I am a fellow like you pls and pls take this young man advice especially 1 & 2. Go for 1 immediately and HSE, for HSE do it with ISPON.


Mantrac(CAT), Wartsila, Cummins Inc, GE, and other coys need Mechanical Engineers with experience in 1.

Thousands of people with 2.1 and first class are still looking for job.
Just go and do ur masters,
Go for a professional skill acquisition in ur field and you will be fine.
BTW 2nd class is 2nd class.

Life is far far beyond 2.1 0r 2.2

This person has said it all. I also graduated with 2.2, and by Allaah's mercy, I'm currently working with a telecommunications company with a good salary. As a matter of fact, people with 2.2 dominate the labour market. Just learn the practical aspect of your course and always pray to God.

I got 3rd class, Mechanical production engineering.

Hanhan hanhan ...plus first-class o. Plus third class o, plus ssce holder...na everybody dey fight for the same work in naija. Please go and write your CV jare and get yourself some experience

Do relevant certification in your field...

Forget the paper qualification and focus on the real you.
2:1 doesn't guarantee automatic job in Nigeria and besides you can open up Mechanics workshop and better your life

Go to a near by mechanic garage in order to reduce transport expenses and learn mechanic work. you will catch up fast. Such is life, you will survive.

take am go join police

I graduated with a weak 2nd class lower result but I'm currently an assistant manager in one of the topmost new generation banks.

Your grade doesn't determine how successful you'll be in life.

All the best in whatever you want to do.
