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

See, if a 2.86 could beat OAU's best student in any test, he can definately beat the best student of his own sch too in such test. Tell me what i dont knw abt the test.

bamite: spend less time on nairaland,more time on your studies and the rest will be history.

*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?

MisterLongman: 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

taiwolusol: 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!

LARRYDKING: 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.

Because if you browse Nairaland, you can find someone to get you 7 Credit in Waec and even write JAMB for you.

adeoladrg: 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.

olami100: I just felt bad with some people mentality! I want to ask what has been the impact of those student who graduated wif 2.1 or ist class frm a federal uni to the development of dis country?
What has been the impact of our lecturers or professors in the federal university to the development of dis country?
Or they want to tell me they are not best brains in the state university or private uni! Keep decieving uself!
At the end both of dem later ended up in d labour market searching for job!!
For me ALL OUR FEDERAL, STATE, and PRIVATE university have failed us! Take it or leave it!

adanny01:

That is just one case, it happens. Talk about a general case.

Look at it this way: until recent years, university education is by federal but now we have state and private unis. Federal unis are more in number than state and private universities and admit up to (if not more) 60% of nigerian undergraduates. Also, the best students in waec, neco, nabteb and Jamb are applicants of fed unis and majority gain admissions. The rest goes to state universities. Private unis are chosen by students as 1st choice by those who are rich. The others who go to private unis either didnt get admissions to their prefered fed or state unis or were withdrawn or didnt get admission to their prefered course of study.

Lets face the truth, the best and highest number of professors and training equipments are in the federal unis. The best students are there too. But the poorer results come from the same federal unis, thats what the op is talking about.

Fed unis are better because they have more qualified lecturers, more equipment, better library and more facilities while private unis only have fewer but dedicate lecturers, better learning environment and a better teacher/learner ratio plus more recent equipments if they have at all. These all come in with a price that 90% of Nigerians cant afford.

If you ask me, Fed unis admit 55% of students, state unis 35% and private 10%. Where else will the best minds be? Thats without considering other factors.

Orikinla: A graduate with First Class at LASU may not be as brilliant as the graduate with 2.2 at UI or OAU in the same course.

taiwolusol:

the name of the University is Lautech. And yes, i'm certain he'll beat most of his departments elites in the said test, but his CGPA isn't the best criteria to base this assumption on.

oluwaKStar: education is not all about books alone..I need to gather information from different sources around me...bill gates and oda "dropout CEOs" understood dis and dats why dey r successful 2dae.
