Engrtemmy:


Please and please, don't make that mistake again. As long as you know what to write and it's the right thing to write, please always write it.

Like I told tosyne2much, don't make the mistake of thinking the lecturer will get pissed off. On the contrary, from my observations, most of them enjoy marking scripts of such students.

Bootybuttchic:
yeah....am gud oo.aw u too happy new year

Natasha2:


How is it calculated for Utme students?

Odunharry:

Ur cgpa is equal ur total credit point divided by the total number of units for that semester/session...

Let assume u registered 7 courses in your first semester and they are all 2unit each..
Acc 101
Acc 103
Acc 105
Gns 101
mkt 103
Bfn 101
Bfn 103
and ur grade point are 5,5,4,4,3,4,5 respectively
To calculate ur cgpa,U multiply ur gp by course unit then divide the result by the total number of unit
Acc 101 5*2=10
Acc 103 5*2=10
Acc 105 4*2=8
Gns 101 4*2=8
Mkt 103 3*2=6
Bfn 101 4*2=8
Bfn 103 5*2=10
(14)=60
ur cgpa will be 60/14 =4.28

Natasha2:


thank you so much.

Odunharry:

welcome..is this the Natasha i knw?

4. If atal I want to obtain direct entry form how do I go abt it and wen sud I obtain it. Pls I nid ur help. I rep Mapoly.

prettyjo:
its like you knw what I did just now. congrats anyways

Engrtemmy:


Lol, I thought as much . Thanks sis and all the best.

ninovandross:
tanx, buh wat abt when d lecturer says "briefly define" students go still full book, I just do as am I told, thse that hve any effect on grades too

Engrtemmy:


Then you have to do exactly as he says.

That reminds me of a lecturer who once told us this: "if I ask you to list, just list. If I ask you to mention, just mention".

Natasha2:


Yes dear, wanted to holla but I thought you won't remember so I chilled.

Engrtemmy:


Sorry for my late response bro. I somehow missed it.

I attended the federal polytechnic Ilaro and I finished with distinction



Yes, it was through Direct Entry. I couldn't go through the one year mandatory IT since I gained admission almost immediately I left poly.



You've started very well and I'm happy for you. Switching over to the uni is actually a nice idea.



You obtain the form from jamb and fill. Do not make the mistake of obtaining multiple forms, those who did last year were disqualified.

Secondly, depending on the school you've chosen, you might have to write post direct entry exam. Uniben writes but schools like UI, OAU, e.t.c don't. The ball is in your court

All the best bro

BabaAlabi:
Congrats on your 2.1 but it is not totally improbable to graduate with a good G.P after doing badly in first year. In Uniben, the first and second year gp comprises of only a minute percent of the total gp when compared to the penultimate and final year.

I can never forget the first question I asked Nonso, "Guy, how una tey dey do am?" "Na the same thing we dey read na"

Nonso replied, "Bros na God o". I wasn't satisfied with the response so I probed harder.

Nonso told me about a particular course whereby he answered just four questions out of 5. He had an A. I answered all the five questions correctly and I had a B.

That was my first lesson.

It is not just enough to read, it's more important to read the right things and it's not just enough to answer all questions in the exam hall, it's more important to answer the ones you do perfectly well

Secondly, I noticed Nonso had no girlfriend. That was my second lesson.

Whether you'll like to hear this or not, to come out in flying colours in school, you need to forget about girls and vice-versa

Thirdly, I discovered Nonso read a whole lot. I felt I read in my 400L only for Nonso to tell me how hard he read. That was my third lesson

There's no short cut to success. That dude who always has the best result in class does no magic. He simply reads and spends lots of hours burning midnight candles[

Armed with those three lessons, I was on a mission to ensure I graduate with a 2.1 only for me to bump into a discussion where some guys were talking about scholarships for masters.

According to them, It's much more easier getting those scholarship when one graduates with a CGPA of 4.0 and above.

I went home and like fans of the super eagles, I started punching my calculator. I wanted to see if it was mathematically possible for me to still make a 4.0. After my calculations, I discovered I needed a 4.67 in my final year to make it.

At first, it looked quite impossible. Afterall, I had only managed to make a 2.1 once which was even low. How on earth do I intend having a GPA of 4.67?

I vowed to try everything within my might to make it against all odds.

chinkichun:

Nonso the legend. Nonso was my bunk mate in hall 4 while we were in finals. Nonso Ebo**, the guy was good.

kes11:

lol. Frank you still bear that name... Temmy I feel quite honoured being mentioned in your story. It's really motivating. I just want to correct something you said about forgetting girls if you want to graduate with flying colours. Every human being is different in his or her own way. The key to academic excellence is to understand yourself. That is to say know what works for you. I knew my flaws. I find it difficult to read even till date. Honestly speaking, I can't read for more than two hours but I knew that I easily learn when am been taught. so I stuck to attending classes. Some of my colleagues found out that reading on their own was best for them and it worked for them. But I strongly advise to attend classes. its really advantageous. You don't need to avoid girls if you want to achieve academic excellence. I had a girlfriend myself. You should just learn how to balance everything

Okaka27:
My CGPA is 2.00
Remaining 4 semesters

Can I enta 2.1?? :-/

OnyeEgo1:
Currently a 300l 4.30gpa student, dis thread wud b beneficial to me pitching my tent here

dipupo2289:
what did u finish with?

I think I need to clear this before someone comes to accuse me of lying. If you take an average of all the GPAs I wrote, it's never going to give you 4.02.

There's a way CGPA's are calculated in uniben which seems different from other schools. Those who attend/attended uniben will understand better.

For those of us who were direct entry students, our 200L result makes up 10 percent of our total CGPA. 300L, 20 percent, 400L, 30 percent and 500L, 40 percent.
