That's not true. For academic masters degree programmes (M.Sc., M.A., M.Ed.), if you graduate with anything less than 3.0, most Nigerian universities won't accept you without a PGD, but can offer you direct admission for professional masters degree programmes like MPA, MBA.

Nairalanders with bad mouth... Chai!

OP, You can do your masters in any university in Nigeria provided your certificate carries 2.2.

It will surprise you that a lot of people condemning the OP are either 3rd class products or are still undergraduates..Very funny people.

If yours is 2:40 bros na dagbo be that.
It truly you passed through the 4 walls of an university, the essence of your education is not to have a fixated mind, you must allow for opportunity to unlearn and relearn. Go and check an official document from the nigerian university you are studying or studied at.

All thanks to my part adviser for showing us everything.



First Class(70-100) CGPA (4.5-5)

Second Class Upper(60-69) CGPA(3.5-4.49)

Second Class Lower(50-59) CGPA (2.4-3.49)

Third Class(45-49) CGPA(1.5-2.39)



FYI the OP is 100% correct, am not surprised some people don't even pass thru university here.

Can a 2.40 second class lower graduate go for masters direct?
I'm not certain what you have is a 2.2.
Even at that,try applying for masters in some schools that are less competitive,I believe you'll get it.
Most schools,especially state universities need students. So the secret is to apply to a good number of them and hopefully,one or more will give you admission.

What you need at this juncture isn't necessarily another piece of paper but an aptitude on valuable things that will make you to become productive to yourself in particular and the world at large. When you have an understanding in something important - aptitude - together with some good attitude, careful planning and little start-up funds, you'll appreciate nature.

I'm afraid no any federal university in Nigeria will accept you, 2.2 on 3.00 is the entry requirement for any master.
anything less than 3.00 will have to do Post graduate diploma first, before going for msc
Not true, I made 2.61 from a federal university, and I'm currently studying for an M.sc in another federal university.

Can a 2.40 second class lower graduate go for masters direct?
Hi OP. You can do a masters degree with that 2:2, but it means you have to put in more effort into researching and applying schools that will accept you. Usually, if you don't have high grades, then you must leverage on extra certifications,training,achievements,work experience, volunteer experiences etc to convince the admissions committee to admit you-these extra qualities must be well documented and part of your application. Good luck!

I did the Unilag online registration for a friend who had 2.80 in 2013. he studied sociology of education and bagged M.Ed Soc Ed.

My brother in law passed out with 2.4 and went ahead to study Geophysics and bagged M.Sc in Unilag.

ur opinion I guess, education in ds part is seen from Ali and Simbi point of view n that's why u see everybody even a mad man on d street with a b.sc. Our education in ds part has been reduced to the classroom alone.
Re: I Have A Very Low Second Class Lower, Can I Go For Masters Direct? by azimibraun: 5:46pm On Jul 01, 2017
But on a more serious note, I think the requirement for Engineering may differ from humanities. 2.2 in engineering may translate to 3.5 in Religion & Philosophy or Afonja language. May be that is the consideration.

CALCULATION OF GPA AND CGPA (For schools using 5.0 Scale)

I will use three courses to illustrate the technique in order to make it easier for you to understand.

After your TMAs and exams, your academic performance in all the courses you took in a particular semester is called GPA calculated thus:

Course 1:
Code. CSS 132
Grade. 60/100
Points. 4 points
Units. 3 units
GP=3*4=12

Course 2:
Code. LAW 111
Grade. 70/100
Points. 5 points
Units. 2 units
GP=5*2=10

Course 3:
Code. CSS 111
Grade. 50/100
Points. 3 points
Units. 3 units
GP=3*3=9

GPA:

GP for CSS 132=12, GP for LAW 111=10 , GP for CSS 111=9

GPA=total GP/total credit units=12+10+9/3+2+3=31/8=3.88

If in the next semester, you obtain a GPA of 30/7, for instance, your CGPA at that time will be 31+30/8+7=61/15=4.07

THEREFORE CLASSES OF DEGREE

First Class(70-100) CGPA (4.5-5)

Second Class Upper(60-69) CGPA(3.5-4.49)

Second Class Lower(50-59) CGPA (2.4-3.49)

Third Class(45-49) CGPA(1.5-2.39)
lol see confusion
you said 4.5, 3.5, 1.5 and then 2.4
boss, from 2.5 is 2:2.
unless you are using your own scale

My brother 2.2 na 2.2 (Second class lower doesn't change). You will be admitted once you can prove yourself during the entrance examination. You can try University of Ibadan and I can assure you if you pass all the entrance examinations (English tesg and departmental exam), you will be admitted.
