Hey students, if you are not smart enough to make a third class then you might have to enroll all over again :)
The National Universities Commission (NUC) has announced that Nigerian universities would no longer be allowed to award Pass Degrees.
Prof Abdullahi Zuru, the Vice Chancellor of Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, disclosed this on Wednesday at the 2014/2015 matriculation of 4,133 students of the institution.
“This has far reaching implications on the grading system of students in universities.
“This means that the minimum pass mark for courses in the universities will now be 45 per cent, that is, D-grade, instead of the previous 40 per cent which was E-grade.
“It also means that the minimum class of degree to be earned by students will now be Third Class,” he said.
According to him, no university student will henceforth graduate with a Pass Degree.
He therefore enjoined the students to work hard to earn their stay in the university
This new injunction suggests that the minimum class of degree to be awarded to students will now be a Third Class.
While many Nigerian Students may be filled with Joy at this news, employers may begin to worry about the quality and credibility of Nigerian graduates.
