Nigerian Universities to Revert to Five Point Scale of Grading System | The National Universities Commission (NUC) has directed that all Nigerian Universities should revert to the five point scale of grading system hitherto in use with effect from the 2018/2019 academic session.



In a statement signed by Dr G.B. Kumo, Director Academic Planning for the Executive Secretary of NUC, the Commission stated that it has been inundated with series of inquiries particularly from the International Organizations and Foreign Universities on the status of the four point scale in use and previous degrees issued during the five point scale.

Presenting the letter on the Grading System and Degree classification in the Nigerian University System to Members of Senate, the Director Academic Planning Unit, Professor Vincent Asuru said that the issue of course credit system of Grade Point Average in the Nigerian University System was discussed by Directors of Academic Planning Units early 2017 when they met and that the issue of the removal of pass degree was discussed leading to the adoption of a four point grading system.

However, the four point scale which some universities started implementing was also found to have severe implementation shortcomings with some universities observing serious difficulties getting students to acquire average class of degree while the scale made it easier for students to have first class degrees.

Professor Vincent Asuru however stated that Ignatius Ajuru University of Education had maintained the five point scale of grading system before the directives from the National Universities Commission ( NUC).

What is the point in graduating a student with pass degree?. They should stick to the 4 grading scheme instead of reverting back to the old one. We should make things easier for students that is why America is ahead of Great Britain. If you know you know

UNN has always been five point some schools are different?

Ok. It is noted.

Kk

can anyone explain this to me

5 point remains the best, why change it in the first place!

Buhari and co-buffoons are always confused and dumb.

Ahead in?

Confused people.

What of 7- point scale?

How does that affect my allowee

Ok

So all these plenty first class na cos of cheaper 4point system grading system?

Confused system.

Don't they think these policies through before implementing them. All policies implemented by NUC and Ministry of Education are always shortsighted and self serving.

In my time, UI used the 7 point scale..

I wonder why the moderator of n/l is still allowing this guy to post dis scam Advt here. This guy is a scam.

Biko, which one is 5 point scale?

I know that the maximum CGPA is 5.0. Isn't that 5 point already?
Could it be they are they referring to 1st class, second class upper, second class lower and third class? So if it becomes 5 points, which would be the 5th one? 4th class?

I simply don't understand. Whoever does should please explain to me.

I ended a relationship with my girlfriend few days ago, now her father has willed a lot of
properties plus $150million to her.
Am so confused, I don't know how to get her back.
I think I need to tell her am pregnant for her.

Good One

So this is the major problem Nigeria universities are facing?
