Well, na NUC talk am no be me.

Actually if you convert 5points to 4points your classification goes higher

They only came up with "4.0 produces more first class than 5.0" to cover up their policy inconsistency. We use 4.0 and I know how hard it's.
4.0 is also the grading system obtainable in most of universities abroad.

The naija system is a copy of british system


Primary school, secondary school, A levels, 5.0, first class, second class upper, second class lower, third class etc

UI has reversed to 5 point since 2016.
According to a UI prof. it was only UI that still using 7 point in the country. Many of their undergraduate students that applied for scholarship of many multinational coys like chevron, shell e t c. faced challenges of grade point. Where the applicants were required to have a certain GP of total CGP of 5.0. Those people were always surprised to see 7 gp. It is like old fashion. So UI had to drop it.

We can't have people who are unjustified graduating from our universities at the expense of people who will get withdrawn as a result of the system. I graduated 12 years ago and back then to get even a second class upper was a serious feat

If you had a first class using the 5.0 scale, then you are the real scholar.

I calculated my GPA at one time using the 4.0 scale, it was like 3.9999.
On the 5.0 scale, it was just 4.63.

No wonder, there is a proliferation of first class nowadays.

Things have changed. We can't continue to use old system we should use learn to adopt to new trend. Even if they may not be existence, we can formulate ours for others to copy. If American University of Nigeria grading system is slight different from other schools in Nigeria then NUC needs to study it. AUN Adamawa grading is slightly different. Am made to understand that 2.1is from 3.4 if am not mistaken. I stand to be corrected if their graduate can refute my claim

People don't know how hell of a thing this 4.0 grading system is.

Here in UI, the scale applies that;
(70-100)%= 4.0
(60-69)℅ = 3.0
(50-59)% = 2.0
(45-49)% = 1.0
(0-44)% = 0

After converting my 2.98(lower credit) to a 5.0 and 7.0 grading scale, they both yielded an upper credit!

trust me NUC did not do their job well 4 point scale only made things worse as regards getting first class 4 point scale never made it easier... how we calculate our CGPA is not the same with How other foreign countries calculate theirs so why compare us with them... 4 point scale in nigeria only made things worse for the weaker students. Score of 44 is a carry over on 4 point scale and a pass on 5 point scale

SMH. That's not what this is about. I hope you are not a graduate.

It is the scale for GPA. 0-4.0 for 4 point, and 0-5.0 for 5 point. UI once used 7 points, 0-7.0. It is not what this bros wrote here that the NUC is talking about.

Delsu adopted similar grading since 2012. Though they were using 5.0 but 44 below was fail and the minimum pass mark was 45. The only difference is
70-100=5
60-69=4
50-59=3
45-49=2
0-44=0
They can still use it in a grade point of 5.0 and still prevent people from graduating with pass

Still the same..
For 4 point; first class starts from 3.6 equivalent to (3.6/4.0)*5 =4.5 ( which is the same as first class in 5 point)
Second class upper starts from 2.8 equivalent to (2.8/4.0)*5 = 3.5 ( 2.1 in 5 point)

This looks similar to the 4.0 system but it's actually still more favourable.

Consider that for a particular semester, a student offered 7 courses, had 60-69 in 6 of the 7 courses and 59 in one of the courses.

If we are to calculate this on the 5.0 scale, the student will be on something definitely above 3.5/5.0 depending on the unit of that particular course he/she had 59. And since upper credit starts from 3.5 on the 5.0 scale, then the student will be on an upper credit.

Taking this same same scores to the 4.0 scale, the student will definitely not be able to attain 3.0/4.0 since all the scores must be 60-69 before they can amount to 3.0.
And since upper credit starts from 3.0 on the 4.0 scale, such student will be on a lower credit(2.8-2.99 depending on the credit of the 59 score). And you must agree with me that this isn't favourable at all
