Hi,

You are right, most schools set a minimum weighted average requirement of 60% for PhD applicants.

Unlike undergraduate grading system which is based on grade point average (e.g. 90% = 70% in grade), the system of grading at

the postgraduate level is based on weighted average (90% > 70% in weight).

In the weighted average system (PG), the scores and course units are equally important.

To calculate your GPA or weighted average easily and quickly, you can make use of this online grade calculator we developed: https://www.superskill.com.ng/apps/grade-calculator/

We will also explain how to calculate it manually. Example: if a PG student enrolled for 4 courses (let us assume the

following course codes and units: ENG- 3 units, MTH- 4 units, CSC- 3 units, GNS- 2 units) and scored 65% in ENG, 70% in MTH,

52% in CSC and 85% in GNS.

To calculate the weighted average, we will multiply each score by its corresponding course units, and sum all the obtained

products together. Then we will divide the result by the sum of all the units of the courses.

That is, [ (65x3) + (70x4) + (52x3) + (85x2) ] / [3 + 4 + 3 + 2]

= [ 195 + 280 + 156 + 170 ] / [ 12 ]

= 801 / 12

= 66.75

Therefore, the weighted average of the assumed student would be 66.75%, and that is above the minimum PhD grade of 60%.

Regards.

This is very clear now.

You are talking about Buhari , the VP Osinbanjo and all the ministers and all the staff of the presidency ,the pilot of crew of the presidential jet he used ...Can't you see Nigeria will be in a complete vaccuum ?

As there not be vacuum before?
Was their presence felt by Nigerians?

PatrickOkunima:
Yes, in determining the percentage, but if your CGPA is above 4.0, you're safe. You'll beat the 60% mark. Like I was told during my M.Sc., ensure you make at least B in all your courses. For every C, you must have an A to compensate for it. Your dissertation, which is 6 units, the worst you'll be awarded is a B, unless your work is very terrible.

Can you chat me on Whatsapp?

Schools are already close. It would have effects for now. ASUU should join hands with the government to fight this virus.

PatrickOkunima:
You're right. 5.0 is A, while 4.0 is B. Anything less than 4.0, you may have a problem proceeding to PhD.

I was told school use rough score of courses to calculate the percentage.

PatrickOkunima:
60% means 60 out of 100. Add up all your scores (course work, seminar and dissertation) and divide by the number of courses you took. If it's less than 60, you cannot go for PhD, except through MPhil.

What about the credit load of the courses?

Please if you know how to calculate MSc results in percentage, please help me out with it.
Most schools minimum requirement to apply for PhD is 60%. How do one obtain percentage from the MSc results?

It is.

I studied MLS, I'm currently doing my masters in MLS too.
I think you should read the work description of the various professions.
The truth is, all are peculiar in their own ways.
Currently now, MLS and Pharmacy starts as Cohess 8 for internship and cohess 9 as a starter in federal and state jobs.
Nursing is cohess 7 as interns and Cohess 8 as a starter in federal and state hospitals., maybe things will change before you graduate.
Follow what you love to do.

Runaway:
The speaker of the states houses of assembly will hold on to power for the period it last...

What happen if the tenure of speaker as house of assembly member elaspe and election have not being conducted?

What did he went to look for in those countries? Wasting Abia money on useless trips.

What have the government done with the price increase in petroleum products?

He is standing arrogantly, he thought he is Nigeria where he can boss around. Nobody know you in America.

iammo:
Then there shouldnt be cry of witch hunt if Ohiomhole exercise his franchise and freedom in deciding to support Ize Iyamu

As the national chairman of the party who is going to be the umpire of the primary election, he (Oshiomole) is not supposed to support any aspirants, he has to be neutral in order not to create division.
I'm not supporting any of them because each of them are fighting for their pockets, their few allies and ego.
Anyone who win the primary and the election will not make the difference.
Where are the roads Oshiomole build? most of them have gone bad and some have been repaired once or twice, a road of less than 5-6years.
Even Obaseki, what meaningful things has he done? pack thugs for streets to harass bus drivers all in the name of employment. Where is the 200000 jobs Obaseki promised Edo people?
These are just few examples, I'm saying this because I want us to stop fighting ourselves for these self and greedy politicians. Let plan ways to elect new crop of youth to take political positions.
Thank you all.

The power to elect a governor is not in the hands of the people again.
Who decided to return Obaseki as Governor?
Even non Edo person dey decide who go be Edo governor just for their own pockets.

With the issue of coronavirus spread in Nigeria, elections might not hold in these states, Edo and Ondo.
What will happen if eventually the election didn't hold and the tenure of the incumbent governors have elaspe?

With the way of things now, Edo and Ondo elections might not hold.
God, Nigerians and Nigeria are in your hands.

op, go learn how to use English. I only come to this trend because of the misleading write up of ASUU proscription.

tribalmall:
Shut your foolish mouth of you do not have anything reasonable to contribius to the discus.

Another kid spotted.

You can see that the level of corruption has eaten deep in Nigeria and Nigerians system. The staffs of APC support are to those who they benefit from not on ideology. Nigerians, when are we going to stop this our greed for quick money or benefits?
Let's revolutionize our minds to think on how to better Nigeria and not our personal pockets.
The earlier we know that these people are fighting for their pockets, the better for me and you.
Thank you.

ubongokon:
Your hatred for him has no bound. But him pass you. Who is Atiku wen it comes to strategic politics.?

Why are you fighting for these politicians?
Are they paying you?
If Tinubu or Atiku becomes Nigeria president, do you think they will make any effective changes?
These people have taste power and have the opportunity to occupied political positions, what did they do with it? Is it not to make themselves, family and their close friends rich?
Why not fight for this country to have a new crop of youthful leaders and let see what will happen.
We keep on recycling these greedy politicians and expect positive change?
Haba, think twice.
If you happen to know the demages these crop of politicians have done to Nigeria, it will take a good leader years to correct.
Do you know your unborn children are in debt as a result of their borrowing? You might say it doesn't affect you, it affect you directly and directly. Look at this year budget, a little above #2trillion was to service debt. Do you know what this money would have done in this country if well utilized? The money they borrowed and they are servicing now, what did they use it for? Was it not loot?
What about Abacha loot that was returned? You heard some days ago that the federal government said they don't have the record of Abacha loot and how it was spend.
Please, let stop fighting ourselves and salvage this country from the hands of these greedy and wicked politicians.
Thank you.

MrToothBrush:
Hahahaha reminds me of a certain Taiye Taiwo... A popular footballer he was also Mikel Obi's set

Hahahahhaaha
A situation where two twins have different ages?
Anything can happen in Nigeria except giving birth to a child by one parent.

These are the people that place Nigeria where she is today. They are living the life as if it's going to be endless.
They are all fighting for their pockets and interest.
I don't know why some persons are killing and insulting themselves for these greedy and wicked politicians. I pity those who collect peanut to mortgage their destiny for them.
Nigeria still have a long way to go.

babytoun:
the report says 12 governors MOST OF WHOM ARE IN THEIR SECOND TERM ...it did not say the all 12 governors are in their second term ...

hope you understand now ?

God bless you
People don't read to understand before commenting.

Is it not this speaker that was reported to spend #500m for his mum birthday in Dubai?

God should grant us the knowledge to discover the drug against this virus. All the affected people get well soonest.

What about other Former presidents Former vice Presidents SGFs Chief of Staffs Former and present ministers Present and former governors in other states. etc This country be get money ooo

It's well with this country.

Sharing the money without conscience.

pay journalism.
God will help this country from mediocre like this writer.
What did he achieved as secretary to the state government?
Where is the sure-P money that was passed through his care?
Where is the 2015 money Pdp passed through his card to buy vote in Edo state?
He was tagged a thief by Oshiomole, is he Not a thief?
In conclusion, almost all politicians in Nigeria including Obaseki and Osagie Ize-Iyamu are evil to Edo state and Nigeria at large.
Let stop deceiving ourselves and Nigerians because of what we will gain from these evil politicians, tell them the truth about their evil deeds, stop praising them.
If I were this journalist, I will not bother to continue this rubbish write-up.

They are fighting for their individual pocket.
