Does CGPA Matter In Getting A Job? by zealousayo(op): 9:44pm On Mar 29, 2021
Do employers/recruiters ask for CGPA a person graduated with job consideration, or do they only consider the class of degree?

Does a person that graduated with 4.20 have an edge over someone that graduated 3.53 (provided all conditions are constant for both of them)?

Omo 2:1 is 2:1 o. No genuine company will find time for CGPA. First class is first class, no discrimination whatsoever.

Some companies discriminate against those with lower CGPA just to reduce the number of applicants. However, this may backfire on the long run as your skills and talents speaks more.

Op Nigerian can go to any let as long as they want to discriminate expecially those companies headed by Yorubas, I was discriminated because the HR wanted to give the said job to his brother, but I later charge the same company for the same job because his brother could not do it.

"Nigerians can go to any length(s)...." "especially"

"I was discriminated against"

You see why you weren't hired? It is not always the fault of Yorubas.

Maybe they saw that you were a graduate of a "miracle center" and wanted someone educated.

No, except in some dubious cases. Class of degree should be ok

Apart from scholarship only few companies look out for CGPA and they do it to cut down the number of applicants applying for the role.

No one care about the actual point.

They care about the class though but not all, some just want to very that you have a certificate.
