I'm always surprised when I see pieces like this. Much as I won't deny it's strength of admonition, I will also not want to skip the fact that it's not meant to be restricted within a sphere of a class of graduates as unemployment now cuts across all categories of graduates. But then, I'm more baffled with this recent argument that 2:2 is such a bad show which can almost thwart a chance of getting a good job or ability to further in one's academic trajectory. The truth is, having a 2:2 implies an average performance of between 50% - 69% on a scale of 100%. In O-level, that's between A3 and C6 which still has a distinction as one of the grades while others are not considered a bad appearance. So what's the noise about? Contrary to what I recently read here(think last week)..... that a 2:2 grad can't go for masters in Nigeria, I continued to wonder why most Nigerians don't get info with precision before expressing such in the public domain. There's no such higher institution in Nigeria that rejects any 2:2 result. School like Unilag which is the latest I know about, does not even make your transcript compulsory as you can submit your certificate in lieu, once it carries 2:2 and above. Same as UI, Unilorin and OAU that I know much about. So what's the misinformation all about? 4 Likes 2 Shares |

I studied mechanical Engineering and graduated with a good grade and I also have Post Graduate Diploma in Customer relationship management. I am an Associate in CICRM. So, it is not only the Pass, Third class and Second class lower graduates that are doing those professional courses Mr. Writer. I have valuable experience in maintenance, repairs, troubleshooting, diagnosis, assemble, disassemble and services in the automotive industry. I am a diagnostic Technician also. Currently, I am doing well. See, it God's grace and who you know. |

obainosis4real:. Yes especially first class, 2:1 and 2:2. if you have 2:2, just write Second Class Honours. No HR will know if it is 2:1 or 2:2 except they interview you. |

Employee mentality! When will we change this BACKWARD mentality of : "GO TO SCHOOL GET A JOB" TO "GO TO SCHOOL CREATE A JOB" ?? The former mentality is fueling our UNEMPLOYMENT and UNDER EMPLOYMENT. |

EdoBoy90:schools base their requirement for masters on CGPA not on class of degree. Some schools accepts below 3:0 for direct masters programme, most accept above. Some reject 3:0 while many school abroad only accept minimun of 3:7 and 4:0 CGPA for masters, which going by your 2:1 analogy, shows that not all second class upper is good enough. 1 Like |
