Just as Twinkle1 rightly asked me to key into his testimony.......
Special thanks to Boss Eke and my very own man Dolpaz as well as the coolest Dude Fapper who practically guided me through all my actions days to my interview and to everyone who take their time to enlighten everyone on this forum.

Eke40seven:
Hello! I know how you feel....this process can frustrate, confuse, intimidate, whatever you wanna call it. Then after your interview, your heart will race from one suspicion of failure to the other. However, you see, they are just doing their job, I think I have been meted far worse treatments by our own government organizations. Just relax bro. I knew your message was misinterpreted given that the person reading your message then may not be so good with the language. I knew you would get off the hook easily.
You just have to be calm and try prayers instead. I'm in my 15th week today from the day of my interview, I booked for my interview may 1st or thereabout and initiated my payment in the first week of September. You see you are not in the worst situation.

Everything will end a success, let that be your faith, the complaints can come later after the goals of your application is achieved.

Bro you're such an inspiration! May God answer your prayers SPEEDILY!

Yea you're right... Just remain positive Bro. All will be well....

Hampy:
I funded before my interview. And I had my interview on 31.8.2015 - That's 5 weeks already. If they wanted to reject me - they would have rejected me early enough. The fact that the mail is coming now means it has to do with my enrolment/resumption date and all. I'm positive.

Hampy:
Hello House. How y'all doing this morning? Congratulations to all those who has gotten their visas. ANVICOLA, you are really a blessed person. Just keep doing all the good things you are doing.

I am in a difficult situation and I need your advice. My school confirmed my enrolment extension to November 9th, just as the "In the a.m matter" mail already entered my email from the embassy. I have now been asked to come to the embassy with my passport and what not. What do i do now? Do i anticipate a rejection and prepare my appeal alongside? Or simply go along with my confirmation of extension from school? It's 5 weeks after my interview already. SOCWORK & EKE40SEVEN- Please take note.

Bro did you get a mail to fund your account after your interview?
Oga Eke pls respond to his post. It is well God is involved

Ya Anvicola is following the South African thread and he's known in that thread to be following this thread as wells cuz someone asked him to adopt the DIY method in applying to S.A I think he was only trying to double his options. However he sounded pretty desperate in that thread could it be cuz he had challenges with his blocked Acc and wasn't sure of the possibility of going to Germany?
Please come out and be straightforward and stop trying to put us will on the edge

Tinder:
5k

Please go to any HIGH COURT REGISTRY to certify your documents and save yourself the stress and financial implications.

Socwork:
Sent to ur mail.

Bro please forward me the mail trail too. noblejacker4real@yahoo.com thanks

OK boss Eke pls do ooooooo.

acedboss:
I'm aware of the situation Dam12 is talking about, the guy was studying at the University of Greifswald in the east and decided to switch to the University of Cologne. Matter of fact, we're gonna be classmates Starting from WS2015/16. Same class, same school. I yeah, it's very possible to cross to another uni when u're in Germany.

Okies Bro Buh how did he do it did he transfer in that same academic session or lost a session? Is there like a specific procedure or does one have to start the application prices again?

Williamso:
That won't be much of a problem. Get to Germany first and if/when you want to change school, it'll be a lot easier than you think.

Heyyyyyy see my guy Williams.... Met this Dude at the embassy when I had my interview. He came to collect his Visa.... Such a cool and easy going fella... Bros abeg pm me we need to talk ASAP....

Dam12:
It's very possible to change to a preferred course/sch during studies when ure there. A friend told me of a guy that even transferred from a school nd state cos the place was damn too dry to another school Whc is a high profile sch in a city. So it's possible It all depends on what u want for urself nd d choices u mk

Bros please throw more light on this. won't the Aliens office request for a proof of financial means especially when you've already gone one semester and your funds have been depleted by virtue of that?

Eke40seven:
@ pauluche,
"Please note that though this affects 200 level DE students that gained admission in 2013/2014 academic session, it does
not affect the 200 level students they will meet (the ones that were admitted in 2012/2013 academic session and did 100
level)"

The quote above from your own link sums up all I have been saying, for old students, who used the 1.00-5.00 CGPA system, their grade conversion will be made based on that irrespective of the new system. And such will be provided in the trabscript. 3.5 from Unilag, in 1985 is not the same with 3.5 today. So on the transcripts different grading systems were listed for the grading authority to take the appropriate one applicable to the student.
Your conversion will be done based on the one used in your time in school. As far as I know this law is relatively new and shouldn't affect someone who graduated this year. That's surely a wrong evaluation.
For other argument, I don't really get it..I guess we should just watch how things pan out.

Bros we're saying same thing now. I said the notification is for those who got admitted from 2013/2014. I said that like 2times boss.... However we have to wait and see how other countries will take the new development. Note that when submitting soft copy of transcripts we do not include the page which contains the scaling because the transcript may have been addressed to a different school (at least in my case).
Thank you Sire.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ALL FRESH UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Before i proceed, to dispel any ambiguity, these two issues are only going to affect students that will register for the 2013/2014 academic session
onwards . The students can either be UTME(100 level) or DE(200 level).
1. NO E (44-40) IN GRADING
Initially, we all know that:
100-70 is A,
69-60 is B,
59-50 is C,
49-45 is D,
44-40 is E,
40-0 is F.
Well, the grading system has changed as such, from 2013/2014 academic session onwards, from 44-0 will be F!!! ie no more
E
Please note that though this affects 200 level DE students that gained admission in 2013/2014 academic session, it does
not affect the 200 level students they will meet (the ones that were admitted in 2012/2013 academic session and did 100
level)
2. NO PASS DEGREE
There used to be a class of degree called the "Pass Degree"(with CGPA 1.5 downwards). This has also been scrapped off
the board as can be seen by the statement issued by NUC below:
"The National Universities Commission (NUC) has abolished the award of pass degrees in Nigerian Universities.
In a release signed by the Ag. Director, Academic standards, Mrs Florence Asemadahun addressed to Vice-chancellors of
various Universities, the NUC stated that the classification of degrees in the Nigerian Universities terminates at third class.
The classification is as follows:
First class division (100 - 70 with 5.00 - 4.50 as CGPA)
Second class Upper division (69 - 60 with 4.49 - 3.50 CGPA)
Second class lower division (49 - 50 with 3.49 - 2.40 CGPA)
Third class division (49 - 45 with 2.39 - 1.50 CGPA).
It follows therefore, that third Class is the least class of degree in the Nigerian Universities."
CONCLUSION
FOR 1 ABOVE: No more hanging by the thread as statistic of results in most universities show E (44 - 40) running away with
almost 43% of the votes.
FOR 2 ABOVE: Once you graduate with a CGPA below 1.5, you will by then have officially wasted all the years and resources
you spent in school.
Also;
i. 0.5 - below is now the threshold for "To withdraw from the University" instead of 0.3
ii. 1.0 - below is "Sessional Probation" which if not improved in one (1) academic session, will lead to "withdraw from
course" aka change of department and demotion to 100 level.


Got this from a students group I belong on Facebook. It was written some time ago from a direct circular issued to all schools

Mind you just have to the it that it will take time for school to adjust

ogagaejay:
That is where u are wrong, I just looked at that for another sch, it was not 1.5, they retained the 1.0

You still don't get it do you? It's a NEW DIRECTIVE which schools are gradually adjusting to. You don't expect each school to just adjust at once do you? Now if this issue is not treated what happens to those who's system has been changed and they still erroneously believe its 1.0-5.0?
Sir truth is by the time NUC begins to inspect schools they will comply. Like I said it's a new directive that will require time for schools to adjust

ogagaejay:
That seems correct, 1.5 for AAU minimum grading unit for 2013/2014. Then you should agree, that there is no one system and what is written in your transcript is what is applicable not the 4.0 was you earlier earlier said

Well I agree I said 4.0 but technically speaking it is now 4.5 AND NOT 5.0.... This changes A WHOLE LOT OF THINGS when it comes to conversion to the German scale.
Mind you Sire its not only applicable to AAU it is the new NUC standard which took effect from 2013/2014 upwards.

We have to create this awareness for those in school who are viewing this thread or who will one day view this thread. The have got to be serious with their books...

number13:
Just 4 parameters are required to convert GPAs in between 2 grading systems: the points for minimum pass marks and the maximum obtainable points. The values of the marks and the point scales are irrelevant.

Thank you Sir! And that's what has changed in its entirety here. Both minimum and maximum pass marks and obtainable points in this case which happens to be 45% D - 100% A and 1.5 THIRD CLASS to 5.0 FIRST CLASS. So you see the importance of decimal place here. It can significantly affect one's grade when converted to the German scale. I've got nothing to lose on this just saying this for the sake of those who got admitted from 2013/2014 session till date who may be viewing this thread. Wake up brothers and sisters things have changed!

ogagaejay:
I can't see where I made reference to the bonded in my quote. Meanwhile, I was trying to explain what NUC Meant by the news. Anyhow, I want you to know 1.0 is still the minimum grading in a 5.0 scale.
Ich sage, meine letzte Abschied zu diesem Thema

Again you've gotten it wrong Sir....A change in scaling system implies a change in grading system.
PLEASE THE MINIMUM GRADE FOR THE AWARD OF THIRD CLASS DEGREE IS NOT 1.0 IT IS 1.5

please visit the AAU website to read for yourself

ogagaejay:
Lol, this news is confusing to allot of people. I will explain by using a typical nigerian uni that operates a 5.0 scale ambrose Ali uni.

Previous method
4.5-5.0. First class
3.5-4.49. Second class upper
2.5-3.49 second class lower
1.5-2.49 third class
1.0-1.49 pass
Minimum grading unit is 1.0

New system
4.5-5.0 first class
3.5-4.49. Second class upper
2.5-3.49 second class lower

1.0-2.49 third class
Minimum grading unit is still 1.0

Bros Na AAU u con take judge mata? I think u have to contact someone der wen the new session commences cuz ur making an assumption. Mind u I am also an Alumnus of AAU and Still have STRONG ties with the school till date. U are NOT right in the sense that GRADE E has been ELIMINATED Bros. 40% is no longer the pass mark 45% is the pass mark now and that's termed a D. @ Bros Eke the forgoing sums up my point pls. So long as the pass mark per course has been changed, everything else changes. Mind you NUC is against the 7pt scale used by UI..... I rest my case Sir

Please if you have any doubt click on this link:

Eke40seven:
Even if NUC alters it to 10.00, how does that affect his own grading system. Its is the grading system that was used in my time that will be applicable in converting my grades to the German grading system. For instance, on my transcript, all the grading systems that my school have ever used with the corresponding years when it was applicable are all explained on the transcript. The only sthing the school needs to do is to check the applicable year where mine falls under. My school once used the 4.0 system at a point and changed later. Uni assist will use what is available or explained by your school on your transcript. Transcripts comes with the explanations of the grading system used in grading you. Capiche!

You're right in a way Sir Eke. That was why I said the guy should confirm from the school. I believe you know that despite there's a national grading system in Germany, some schools will tell you that their conversion system may be different from others.

ogagaejay:
U are not totally correct, NUC Removed the pass from the nigeria grading system,
Two things I would like to point out
1. This doesn't affect those who have already graduated as it takes effect from this year.
2. This does not affect the grading system in universities. university of ibadan will still maintain her 7.0 system, uniben her 5.0 and the likes.
And I agree with eke40seven as 3.0 still amount to 2.5 in the german grading system. I know of someone with this cgpa in the winter 2015 and unassist.ev said it is 2.5 I won't mention who.
Shalom!!

Well you're saying this from your own perspective I guess. The fact that schools decide to maintain their grading system doesn't change the nationally accepted standard. Other countries will judge degrees from Nigeria based on the benchmark set by the regulatory body in the country and not by the benchmark of individual universities. It remains to be seen how other countries will judge degrees from Nigeria as soon as the policy comes into effect (those results which will be computed based on the new benchmark).
I believe the guy should contact the school and ask what criteria/scale was used in determining the German grade they gave to him (whether 5.or 4.0).

Eke40seven:
You don't have to spam the thread sir, did you give the school your grading system with proof? Go and do your thing, your GP is 2.5 exactly.

Sir Eke what he's saying is right. The PASS GRADE has been eliminated from Nigerian universities. Meaning our scaling system has been altered. We now operate a 4 point scaling system (according to NUC) Thanks

daimlerbenz:
Sorry boss. I am in Deutschland already. I have an Autumn school to attend at FSU and I just need two nights accommodation. ALl cheap hotel options have been booked. If you will be in JENA by 14th October, I will be glad if you can help. Thanks

uchezdedon:
German embassy can be funny ooo, test for masters applicants?

Bros yes o!
I was told by one security guy that that is the new line our FRIEND has towed in her interview esp for the past couple of weeks.
Anyways its good basically because it gives one the opportunity to prove that he/she is academically sound at least to a reasonable extent.
I too was shocked but I had to seize the opportunity and in less than 3 hours I got the mail to fund.

enibal:
@ pauluche Pls wat kind of test questions for msc students

Hello Ma, are you going for the Sciences or social sciences?
I can't post the questions here in order not to get banned. I recall fapper getting banned for posting similar questions. Couldn't reply ur pm. Pls send a direct mail to noblejacker4real@yahoo.com.
More so it appears the questions are being modified by the day. Didn't get to answer much of those regular questions posted here

Anvicola:
Imagine!!!! I was very nervous at the german embassy today that I was given a test to write. A masters student for that matter. Anyways, I have been nervous since about 5 days now, thinking too much about a lot of things and even money to fund d blocked account. Everything just jam , d person wey wan lend me the money talk say the money wey him dey expect neva show. Imagine!!! and my enrolment deadline na 9th of october, why I no go worry na!!! I'm been feeling so weak and down cos I already resigned from my place of work, wetin I go do naw!!! The german woman even say my aim is not clear enough, she asked me some questions which I answered but she wasn't pleased with the answers and she also asked some which I don't know , to be candid!!! Everything just tire me but I know say, their is an end but my expectation shall not be cut short in Jesus name, amen. At this point I hands up, #Jesustakethewheel

Bros PLEASE CHEER UP! The test thing was actually in your favour because even if your interview didn't go well, God gave you another opportunity by making you write the test! I had my interview yesterday M. Sc I was also given a test to write and guess what..... I got a mail to fund my account less than 3hrs after I left the embassy! In fact I was still at the car park waiting to board a bus back home. Its all about God's grace and favour. Just speak to him. Like a loving and caring father that he is, he WILL NOT let you down.

Congrats to all those who's gotten their Visas!!!
