Third Class And 2.2 In Our Federal Universities. by Nobody: 8:12am On Aug 27, 2014
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

No sir, if u've experienced both, u'll agree with me. Even state uni students wont deny it. That does not make their products less worthy to compete with their counterparts across the world.

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.

We can't rule out the possiblity of this but it's very low compared to the state unis where it's a normal practice.

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

nope, i didn't say so, i only said since the criteria for admitting into fed unis is very tough, i expect most to graduate with first class and 2.1 even if the ones in the state schs can't graduate with high CGPA due to their various 'mago mago' way of entry.

I'm nt a part of that idea, in every sch, there is a champion, just that some champions are more equal than the others grin . The central idea is that federal unis' criteria and style of admission cant be compared with that of private and state, u should knw beta. We have brains in privates and states but loads and lots of brains are in the federal system.

All na wash, whether 2.2 from unilag, unn, ilorin, havard, oxford, yale.
If KPMG, TOTAL, NLNG advertise vacancy for graduate, you no go apply!

So stop deceiving/consoling yourselves.


Meanwhile, 2.1 from a polytechnic in zamfara, or state uni in Jigawa will apply.

yea, my friends in uniben says that alot, thou one is a first class student but he complains of it 2. But that's that's nt the case of unilag, they produce first class in that sch. I think unilag produces the highest first class graduates among other federal schs.

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

*Calming my nerves* You need to understand something. The mentality that all Federal University Students are better than their State and Private counterparts is Just Wrong.
For crying out loud, a 2.86CGPA student from your So called Mago Mago universities passed an Oil coy's Siwes Entry test where as best Student from OAU didn't...........
why do you have to be so proud?

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.

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.
