Tony Spike: This latest rule by NUC may be mainly directed towards the private universities. As we all know, these universities don't believe students can fail after paying so much money, so they organise re-sits during holidays at a "marketable" fee.. You're there dude! |

Hope they won't tamper the resit system used by medical schools. In medical school, you can write a resit but if you fail again then you repeat a whole year |

Again, giving excuses for failure 'unforeseen circumstances and ill health'. For UI, who send you? Guy, thank God you didn't study in UI..Tsunami go don carry you. Good move, NUC 1 Like |

afam4eva: What's their business with what goes on inside a school. Shouldn't it be the duty of the universities to determine whether or not they want their students to resit? I think some people are taking lectures from Fashola of Lagos. This law is a draconian law that does not sit well with Nawaooo!!! You are asking what their business is when it is actually their constitutional responsibility to ensure that Universities are run the right way. Yes I support the idea they are campaigning for since neither WAEC nor NECO organise special exams aside the may/june and November/December arrangements. The culpable institutions are the private ones since they actually make students pay extra amount. Imagine a student paying 15k to resit for each course he fails. Yes each cours. Ife he fails 3, thats 45k aside registration fee. Mind you, there will be preasure to pass such student after paying heavily to participate in summer exams. Motion supported. |

Nosa-Henry: Care to elaborate more on 'these private universities where anything goes'? I took my time to go through all previous posts before adding my comment. You should do same! What's with the scathing retort about private universities? Have you ever been enrolled in one before? I wonder when this thread shifted focus to private universities, even when some posters in federal universities attest to the fact that resit examinations are conducted in their institutions. A resit remains a resit! Be it in a faculty/department/college of medicine/pharmacy/nursing. Fact is people re-write examinations in most institutions across the country. Quote me properly! I said 'most'. What baffles me is that most people commenting here about private universities have no inkling as to what truly obtains in there. Who are you therefore to berate 'em? So I'm a 'product' of a private university...if e too pain u, go and hug transformer. Bear in mind tho that I attended two federal universities before this...and left when I took a stance to not 'sort' my way through...or lift my skirt for one dirty old fowl. Instead of spending 10 years in school for a 4 year course, I took by destiny into my hands and enrolled in a private university...does this make me any less of a graduate? Please stick to the focal point of the thread and stop derailing... 3 Likes |

Re: NUC Bans Re-sit Exams In Universities by Osheshe(f): 7:21pm On Sep 21, 2012 |
superdude007: Oga, the stipulated fee is for 2 reasons... For starters, these resit examinations are conducted at the end of a session. Whatever tuition fee was paid for the session has expired. What about the lecturers who are going to conduct these lectures/examinations? Are they involved in charity work? Or their reward is in heaven? The fee is used to compensate them, for the extra hours put in! Secondly, this fee is to dissuade students from trooping en masse for resit. Shoe dey get grade. Who knows he/she cannot afford a resit for any reason will strive to not fail. Ill-health is more than a legitimate reason for failing a course, or being absent from a paper. Most Nigerian lecturers are just cynical bastards. Is it until someone dies in an examination hall that they'll learn to be accomodating? 1 Like |

The educational system is designed to encourage failure. Though I did not benefit from such re-sit schemes, I think such remedial programmes will reduce the cheating/bribery in our higher institutions. |

In the first place it rubbish for such a policy to be allowed. At least it the same degree they are awarded as that of federal and states universities who don't allow resit. very stupid double standard. |
Re: NUC Bans Re-sit Exams In Universities by Femsyn(m): 8:19pm On Sep 21, 2012 |
Now the bone of contention here is simple. why would a group of universities allow resit, when others don't? Especially when the graduates of these schools go on to compete in the same labour market - where grades are held in high esteem; I dont think this is fair enough. When i fail a course in a public university, i am expected to undergo additional stress/load in the next session, while another group of schools allow u to pay a token (which they shld be able to conveniently pay, since they can afford the school fees) for a resit absent of pressure or any additional load; just holidays "deprivation". There's imbalance in the educational system!!! It's either all schools encourage resits or it's completely scrapped!! NUC, way to go. 2 Likes |
Re: NUC Bans Re-sit Exams In Universities by duality(m): 8:21pm On Sep 21, 2012 |
i wish i had the opportunity to resit some courses during my undergraduate days. it was crazy writing a 3/4 unit control engineering course the same day with one silly carryover. I however felt cheated when i discovered that guys from other schools(private schools) could re-write the exam during the hols. for me, whatever decision they take, they should make sure its same for all campuses because all these superiority contest don dey too much. in any case, i'm done with that level of education. therefore, i care less about this issue. na how to make money nahim de my mind. not any bloody campus issues. |

Re: NUC Bans Re-sit Exams In Universities by nas00(m): 8:32pm On Sep 21, 2012 |
NUC is right. It is plain and logical. This ban on resit exams applies to ALL courses where grade point system is used, because a true CGPA (cumulative grade point average) does not take into account resit exams. The ideal is: Fail or pass, ALL the scores of any student studying grade point system course is used in computing the student's CGPA. The only exam a student is permitted to re-register for and write again at the next semester (or next available opportunity) are failed COMPULSORY courses, otherwise known as carry-overs.. And BOTH the score of the initially failed attempt and the eventually passed carry-over are used in computing the student's CGPA. In essence, resit is ILLEGAL for grade point system courses. On the other hand, resit exams are the norm in certain courses that do not utilize grade points beyond the preliminary year. E.g: Medicine & Surgery, Veterinary Medicine, Pharmacy That is why you can NEVER hear someone graduating with a 1st class these courses. You can only pass, and qualify as a Medical/Vet Doctor or Pharmacist.. And for as long as you keep failing resit exams in any of these courses, you keep repeating the same year until you either pass or you are booted out of the system. NUC has done very well on this. |
Re: NUC Bans Re-sit Exams In Universities by james1(m): 8:46pm On Sep 21, 2012 |
they NUC should have directed their energy toward banning the daylight robbery of Nigerians in the name of post jamb by colleges. What's the point of writing UTME and then post jamb? These school authorities just wake up and misbehave. |
