Are you for fake? It's not every statement that you interpret with a kindergarten eye. Of course we all know NUC is the body that regulates universities in Nigeria but that doesn't mean the universities should not have some kinda relative independence. Very soon NUC will tell them the kind of flower to plant in all the schools.

afam4eva: What's their business with what goes on inside a school. Shouldn't it be the duty of the universities to determine whether or not they want their students to resit? I think some people are taking lectures from Fashola of Lagos. This law is a draconian law that does not sit well with common sense me.

Gamuguma: nothing is wrong with re-sit exams. NUC should make sure universities have proper equipments so as to make our graduate has proper practical knowledge. That is their main tax. Gbam

Bludeville: I'm a graduate of pharmacy from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka and in my department, re-sits are often written, this is because in pharmacy, most courses are 'prerequisites' , what this means is you cant proceed to the next level of a certain course (e.g Pharmacology 301) if you havent passed the previous level (Pharmacology 201) because it is a continous process and it's difficult/impossible to truly understand 301 if you havent proven that you have a firm grasp of 201.
I think that the NUC should poke their noses where they are truly needed and not disrupting and stupidly banning certain practices especially if they do not know/understand the reason behind it because it only makes them seem stupid.

Resit is common in private universities.

It is also applicable in the school of medical/health/pharmacy of some or most government universities where students usually graduate with a pass or distinction. If a student fails the Resit, then he/she repeats the year.

Tony Spike: This latest rule by NUC may be mainly directed towards the private universities. As we all know, these universities don't believe students can fail after paying so much money, so they organise re-sits during holidays at a "marketable" fee.

Yomieluv: Afam,are u trying to be silly,or you are just a dumb?NUC is a body charged with the regulation of activities in Nigeria universities,what's the aim of carry over,if students can resit for a failed exams within the same semester...this sharp practice is only done in private unis.

Nice-Kid:
They call it REMEDIAL programme

unekwubaby:

why gbam?

omicron: In medical schools resit exams are done since adam and eve. So i guess the NUC is not referring to medical colleges cos they do not run the normal semester exams...and courses are prerequesite courses which must be passed before proceedin to the next class. NO CARRY OVERS! But you get to REPEAT the course totally if you fail the resit..and most courses last up to 18months before the exams. That's why someone may remain in med school for up to sooo long. So definitely this will not apply to med students....otherwise its a great idea.

Nice-Kid:
But come to think of it, re-sit and sorting, which one is better? People that pay lecturers in cash/kind to get good scores and those who want to try-again, whom would you prefer?

I may be wrong, but no one truly understand where u heading

omicron: my point is that the ban is not for med students who are known to write MBBS resit exams because med schools do not run the usual semester system and do not follow the normal course credit system applicable to other depts.
