THE National Universities
Commission (NUC) has scrapped the ‘Pass’ grading in the nation’s universities.
The implications are that,
44 per cent rather than the initial 39 per cent will now be the mark for
assessing failure just as ‘Third Class’ will now be the least grade for
graduation in all the universities.
According to the Vice
Chancellor, Kwara State University (KWASU), Malete, Prof. Abdulrsheed Na’Allah
Tuesday at the pre-convocation press briefing of the university, the directive
would be easier to implement at KWASU as the university had started the grading
system since establishment three and a half years ago.
He said: “The KWASU had
technically eliminated the pass grading by making 45 per cent the least scores
for success. Even the NUC had recently given the same order to all the nation’s
universities.”
No fewer than 231 students
of the institution are to graduate on Saturday, June 1 this year during its
maiden convocation ceremony.
