ur opinion I guess, education in ds part is seen from Ali and Simbi point of view n that's why u see everybody even a mad man on d street with a b.sc. Our education in ds part has been reduced to the classroom alone.
but we still produce world class scholars from our home Universities. In my field, I can devour anybody fro any part of the world. Are they having a diffrent Plato, Aristotle, Heigel, Communism, Socialism, Karl Marx, Henri Fayol, Adams Smith,Sigmund Frued, Chinua achebe, Wole Soyinka, Olikoye Ransom Kuti et al from the ones whose works I studied in school?

It's PGD bro!
Master direct I can't say

By the way which school awards 2.2 for a 2.4 G.P?


2.4 should be third class and not second class lower. My advice is just go for a PGD programme first.

According to NUC 2014 rule, if you don't have 3.00 and above you can go masters without pgd. Even if it is your school.

exactly, so many departmental handbook were wrongly printed as 2.50. Ask a course adviser computing CGPA. and thank me later
I have the one for my faculty
And one for my department, they all say the same thing.
My depart even renew their handbook in 2014 , the same thing was written.
Even when we were doing our fresher's orientation our exams and records lecturer in my department took us on how to calculate cgpa and different grade.

lf the school you graduated from is offering the course,pls quickly go back there.But be very committed when u secure d M.Ed as u may need a Ph.D tomorrow and your grade counts.

2.4 is third class not 2.2

how do you derive cgpa?
First class = 70% - 100% and 70% of 5.0 is 4.5
same thing goes for 2nd class lower: second class lower = 50% - 59% and 50% of 5.0 is 2.5
anything below 2.5 is third class and pass

you do not need to disturb yasev abt this, 2.2 is 2.2. Pls go and obtain UI form, its still on now till July 15 thereabout. Do not be discouraged but u will have to do more during your masters program to have a better grade. Cheers

It truly you passed through the 4 walls of an university, the essence of your education is not to have a fixated mind, you must allow for opportunity to unlearn and relearn. Go and check an official document from the nigerian university you are studying or studied at.
there is nothing like 2:40 as 2:2

That is the same thing I'm telling the op
That he didn't pass out with 2.2.
I can't judge the op, it may b he was the one training him self. I pass through such, but I didn't let anything to weigh me down, today I m a 2.1 product with 3.63.

All thanks to my part adviser for showing us everything.



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)



FYI the OP is 100% correct, am not surprised some people don't even pass thru university here.

its obvious you didn't even acquire basic education. How can 50% of 5.0 give you 2.4? lol

You said the OP can do his masters anywhere, provided his degree bears 2:2. You're only giving him false hope. Uniben where I earned my Bachelor's degree from will never accept such. Likewise, Delsu where I am rounding up my masters. I don't know about Unilag, but if you want me to, I can mention other universities that will not accepted less than 3.0 for M.Sc.
verygudbadguy:


I did the Unilag online registration for a friend who had 2.80 in 2013. he studied sociology of education and bagged M.Ed Soc Ed.

My brother in law passed out with 2.4 and went ahead to study Geophysics and bagged M.Sc in Unilag.

Stop saying what you are not sure of.

No need arguing blindly with you, i guess you are still an undergrad. Once you are out of school, apply for transcript and the classification page will reveal that.

You can't go for masters direct, 2.4 as second class lower is very true.

I know people from LASU that graduated with 2.40 and they were all awarded a second class lower division.

In the school i attended, that gp is 3rd class not 2.2. I think 1 might have to do PGD 1st but sha ask around & see if there is any exception.

See, first class holders self dey roam street with no job, even people wey go do masters abroad dey roam street no job, and those wey see self na 40k job dem dey take offer them, upon their foreign masters. I don't know ur purpose for trying to go for masters; if its for your self esteem, or u want to go for PHD. but if u ask me, if its to secure a job in Nigeria u better start to learn a skill and start to enjoy financial freedom rather than to go be slave for one small pikin all in the name of employment.
Re: I Have A Very Low Second Class Lower, Can I Go For Masters Direct? by Nobody: 6:58pm On Jul 01, 2017
That's not second class lower, that's a third class

2.5 to 3.49 is second class lowe
