Nairalanders with bad mouth... Chai!

OP, You can do your masters in any university in Nigeria provided your certificate carries 2.2.

It will surprise you that a lot of people condemning the OP are either 3rd class products or are still undergraduates..Very funny people.

You can do your masters with 3rd even in Unilag, I had 3rd class Civil engineering UNN and I did my masters direct without any PGD in civil and environmental engineering ( Water Resources option) unilag 2011 set. I went and pick PGD form, even wrote the exam and passed, then when I went for my registration, I was told I can do my masters direct provided I've up to 2.40 cgpa, that was how I switched over to MSc direct from PGD.

It doesnt matter. Any Nigerian university regulated by NUC and using a 5.0 GPA scale.

Check transcript backpage of any Nigerian university. It took me a while to find out though.

Some people who have never passed Jamb talkless of gaining admission into a university are here saying trash. The Op is very correct


CALCULATION OF GPA AND CGPA (For schools using 5.0 Scale)

I will use three courses to illustrate the technique in order to make it easier for you to understand.

After your TMAs and exams, your academic performance in all the courses you took in a particular semester is called GPA calculated thus:

Course 1:
Code. CSS 132
Grade. 60/100
Points. 4 points
Units. 3 units
GP=3*4=12

Course 2:
Code. LAW 111
Grade. 70/100
Points. 5 points
Units. 2 units
GP=5*2=10

Course 3:
Code. CSS 111
Grade. 50/100
Points. 3 points
Units. 3 units
GP=3*3=9

GPA:

GP for CSS 132=12, GP for LAW 111=10 , GP for CSS 111=9

GPA=total GP/total credit units=12+10+9/3+2+3=31/8=3.88

If in the next semester, you obtain a GPA of 30/7, for instance, your CGPA at that time will be 31+30/8+7=61/15=4.07

THEREFORE CLASSES OF DEGREE

First Class(70-100) CGPA (4.5-5)

Second Class Upper(60-69) CGPA(3.5-4.49)

Second Class Lower(50-59) CGPA (2.4-3.49)

Third Class(45-49) CGPA(1.5-2.39)

O boy!!! Go and collect your money o! You have been scammed. When it's time to contest an election or go for a senate clearance for appointment as Minister of Water resources, that's when your enemies and competitors will visit Unilag and revisit your admission. I dey fear for you right now.

I'm afraid no any federal university in Nigeria will accept you, 2.2 on 3.00 is the entry requirement for any master.
anything less than 3.00 will have to do Post graduate diploma first, before going for msc
keep shut..... ABU zaria accept any point in 2.2

First class 4.5-5.0
Second class 3.5-4.49
Second class lower 2.5-3.49
Third class 1.5-2.49
Pass 1-1.49.

Wrong info bro. I know a couple of schools that take less than 3.0 for MSC e.g Unilag. The only thing is that your bonus point that will be added to your entrance exam will be small. It goes this way...2.2 - 5 points. 2.1- 10 points. 1st class- 15 points. Being an alumnus of the school, 5 extra point. The only thing is that someone with 2.2 will need to prove himself/ herself during the entrance exam so as to score very high and compete with others when the results are being compiled.
