agencyy for the orderly development of university education in Nigeria
vested with the mandate of the definition and maintenance of standards
in the Nigerian University System. The review of the benchmark minimum
Academic standards (BMAS) carried out by the commission in 2007
addressed a couple of issues including the phasing out of pass degree
from the Nigerian University system.
Pursuant to that and in line with the on-going efforts towards
improving the quality and raising the standards of the university
education in the country, the NUC hereby abolishes pass degree in
Nigerian Universities. The classification in the Nigerian Universities
terminates at third class as follows:
First Class division. |70-100| 4.50-5.00
Second Class upper division | 60-69 | 3.50 - 4.49
Second Class division lower | 50-59 | 2.40-3.49
Third class division. | 45-49 | 1.50 - 2.39
It follows that third class is the least class of degree in the
Nigerian Universities. In view of the above, Nigerian Universities are
mandated to abolish the award of pass degree with effect from
2013/2014.
