NAIJA CGPA

If you are a regular visitor to this blog , you must have come across terms such as GPA and CGPA. These two terms are used for grading and degree classification in Nigerian universities. They show how far you've performed in a semester or throughout the duration of the particular course you are studying. The CGPA stands for cumulative grade point average while the GPA refers to grade point average. The GPA is over a semester while the CGPA covers multiple semesters. Many universities have their own grading system which might slightly vary from the one here. However, this template seems to be the most common. You should check with your institution to see what is obtainable there.

Many students desire eye-popping CGPA's, however they are not willing to pay the price. The price of success is diligence and hard work.  It is commonplace to see assignments/homework  trivialized . Not doing assignments is the secret of mediocrity. Top performers in class know this and work to avoid it.

A few years ago, our 100 level departmental results had just been released and I was one of the two individuals with eye-popping CGPA above 4.0.  The news was all over the department. Instantly, the easy going and reserved me had numerous friends and foes to deal with.
