Adebayolove:


Ajuwaya. Finish your NYSC first. Things will be clearer before then. I will advise you start applying for jobs now not wait until you're through with NYSC.
Most MSC program are flexible and can be done together with a job.
Wish you the best.

Thanks so much.... I really appreciate your advice!

21 days of inactivity Abeg let's keep the thread lively

Bring it on!
What challenges & breaktheoughs are you facing currently? We could help out, or better, learn from your experience.

As for me, the phobia to make past a PhD grade has never gone past 2mm from me...lol.

A friend at Unilag says it challenging over there. I wish I were in her shoes. #seriously.

B.Sc. Geography and Resource Management (UNIOSUN)

M.Sc. Environmental Management and Control (rounding up) (OAU)

PhD. Tropical Bioclimatology (hopefully)

That's the struggle. Considering the fact that PhD grade in most Universities is done in percentage as compared to the cgpa style.

But I think there might be some schools that their PhD requirement is less than 60% (prolly with a clause).

please, how is the 60% thing is calculated as compare to normal undergraduate cgpa... i thought 3.0/5.0 cgpa amounts to 60%

The weighted average (in percent) is your cumulative score in all subjects divided by the total numbers of subject you took. As in, if you took 6 courses and scored 72, 68, 65... its those exact score that will be multiplied by the percentage of each course.

Its ur class of grade (A=5, B=4...) that will used for the calculation unlike in the percentage where ur exact score is what will be used.

I guess you've started M.Sc already?

Yes, I have started M.Sc. already.
I know that 50 is the pass mark, but does that mean if anyone scores 50-59 in any course, he won't get Ph.D. Grade?

Thank you for your response!

If the weighted average is less than 60, one won't be able to do PhD without M.Phil.

If one score less than 60 in a course and score more than 60 in others, such a person can still make PhD grade.

for example, if one took 5 courses and scored 51, 54, 67, 75, 58... the weighted average is 61{(51+54+67+75+58)/5} provided the 5 courses have the same unit.

But I think some school offer take 58% for PhD

Thank you very much for your wonderful and timely insight... I was thinking of equivalent of 3.0/5.0 cgpa before, but now I really know I have much work to do, so that cooperative money and stress wouldn't be in vain.
Now, I know more about the fear of Ph.D. Grade!

Hmmmmm, God, I'm in your hand oooooo.

Any FUTO graduate student here?

I have been a secret follower of this thread. But I must commend various commentators. Especially on the Ph. D grade calculation. It is well. Success is ours in Jesus Name. Amen.
I am currently an MSc Accounting student.

Its no brainer that just 3 or 4 schools offers DemoStat in Nigeria and just one at the Postgrad level.

This thread was borne out of the rich benefits I have derived from a much advanced thread - Thread For PhD Students. Though I aspire to bag one someday, I know I have to start from somewhere. I have followed and enjoy first-hand information that has been, and will be of great help in the future.

Well, I would start off. I had a B.Eng in Electrical/Electronics Engineering; and currently on an M.Sc program in Electronics & Computer Engineering (Nigeria). I would like us to share ideas, topics, questions, discuss our struggles and challenges so that others, both current and intending students in any field/discipline can benefit.

Lets make this thread worth every click and view! All the best!!!

Which School did you receive your B.Eng
I have the same
and my M.Sc is electronic engineering(in view)

pls house, i need to knw the prospects of one studying m.sc technical education(electrical electronics option). I have a B.eng, elect\elect and a pgde.

So quiet in here.
