What's the big deal?

If only Unilorin students has this kind of boldness, but the fear of expulsion is the beginning of wisdom.
The SUG system in Unilorin is for figure heads.
Gone are the days you would fight tooth and nail when they call us glorified secondary school.

Is that NUC standard for all Nigeria universities? 4point grading system is totally alien to university system only Polytechnic runs on 4points. One of the repercussions of 4point system may require that you have to do PGD even with your first class before you are able to go for a Master degree program in another University, the degree may suffer like HND/ degree discrepancy. The management should reverse their shallow minded decision ASAP as this is unnecessary and a time wastage on the students academic programs.

No as you think...getting an A in the 4 point Grading System is mostly from 80marks upwards...which I'm sire it's not so for the 5 point grading system

I like the kind of fear Unilorin has inculcated in their students. It reduced cultism and hooliganism to almost non existent.

I prefer it a glorified secondary school than it to be a tertiary institution with no peace of mind.

Actually a 4 point grading system will produce more first class....Infact it was dumped after being adopted by some universities

bro where did you get such info from.
requirements into masters is a second class for both HND or degree.
as for PHd u just need a gp of 3.5.


so I don't see the 4 point scale being a barrier

We copy too much in this country. Because US and others countries use the 4-points grading system, we now want to copy it?

I never knew these Benue students can protest like this, and they are running away from Fulani herdsmen killing their people

What is wrong with the four point system?

The concepts and theories you learn from these Universities were discovered, developed, formulated abroad by foreigners, if we can copy those, why not their assessment methodology, after all we should be producing graduates that are globally relevant and competitive.

Re: Benue State University Closed As Students Protest New CGPA Grading by Tofchen(m): 6:53pm On Sep 02, 2019
NUC had reverted to the old 5 points grading system with some mild because adjustments (like the abolishing of the pass degree) because of the inconsistencies of the 4 points grading system. All federal Universities had since followed the directions of NUC sand has since worked on the CGPA of their Students to fall in line with the directive from NUC, what is BSU doing or are they operating under another NUC?

You have a point there but some schools are using the 4.0 cgpa grading system in Nigeria.

There is no pass grade anymore. Some schools use A,B,C,D n then F no E while some use 5,4,3,2 then 0 no 1.

Honestly it's really not different. Whether UI's 7, 5 or 4.
Re: Benue State University Closed As Students Protest New CGPA Grading by ynglukas(m): 8:20pm On Sep 02, 2019
using that grade point is bs, 5.0 is what's mostly used internationally

don't know why this writers makes things unnecessarily difficult, just say 'connected'

4 point grade system means .. E is fail, D= 1, C= 2, B= 3 A = 4 ... That means the students will have to read more harder this time.. Cos pass starts from 45 marks. grin

It is different. 4 point is harder. 3.5/5 is 2.8/4 Upper to Lower
