Sir

APPLICATION FOR 12 MONTHS INDUSTRIAL ATTACHMENT

I am applying for a 12 months industrial attachment in your Establishment.

I study computer Engineering, from the Imo state polytechnic Imo. I am currently an ND final student, hoping to round off in six months time.

The industrial attachment is part of the requirement for my graduation and to award me ND certificate in Computer Engineering. The training is needful as it will help me gain practical knowledge so as to complement the theory in school.

I am applying to this company because of its reputation and facility, and the wide range of knowledge available to me and its relevance to my field of studies.

I would want to gain experience in the area of soft ware development and maintenance, and I know your company has what it takes to impart me.

I will be available to discharge my responsibilities appropriately, and to obey the rules and regulations of this company.

I have enclosed my resume and relevant credentials for your assessment.

I look forward to having an interview with you at your convenience.

Thanks for your anticipated cooperation.

Yours Faithfully

How To Calculate CGPA In Nigerian Higher Institutions

Result Data Analysis

Definition of Terms

·                     Carry Over:  When one fails a course, it leads to carry over. It means the student will have to sit for that course in the following session. In most schools when you fail a course, it will affect your GPA for that semester. When you sit for the course in the following session, it will add to your workload.

·                     Missing Script:  a missing script is a situation whereby your exam script for a particular subject was not found. It is expected that you sit for the course again. In some school such result is considered as a fresh exam and it will not have a direct effect on the semester. But some school will take it as carry over. However make sure you don’t have a carry over or a missing script because it will slow you pace in academics acceleration.

·               Letter Grades: They are alphabet from A to F representing grade obtained in a particular subject. 

Example

Grading for universities and colleges of educations                      For Nigerian polytechnics

% Score	Letter			% Score	Letter	Point weighing
70 – 100	A	5		80 – 100	A	4.0
60 – 69	B	4		70 – 79	AB	3.5
50 – 59	C	3		60 – 69	B	3.0
45 – 49	D	2		50 – 59	BC	2.8
40 – 44	E	1		40 – 49	C	2.0
0 -39	F	0		0 – 39	F	0

·               FC GPA

             This is the final computation of your grade so as to know what you are graduating withAt the end of the programme, you can now know what you are graduating with.

The FC GPA is taken year to year so as to sit up whenever the need arises.

Example below

·               Point Weighing

              This is the number equivalent to letter grades. As illustrated above.

·             Credit Hours: may be defined as the contact hours assigned to each course per semester. Below is an extracted from the department of sociology/Anthropology ESUT.

·                Grade Point (GP): This is the product of the point weighing and the credit hour(s) for a/any given course. See example below. GP = PW x CH Note: PW = point weighing, CH = credit hours.

·                    Grade Point Average: It is the sum of grade point divided by the sum of credit hour (workload), which is the average performance  GPA  -  TPG

                                                                  TCH

·                     Cumulate Grade Point Average: This is the average, GPA for the two semester in a session.

GPA  =   1^st Semester GPA + 2^nd Semester GPA

Core Course

These are courses that must be offered and passed by all students in any undergraduate programme.

Elective Course

These are course which can be registered only under the advice of the academic adviser as require courses, and must be passed by a student  in order to graduate.

Work Load

A student is normally in any one academic year allowed to register for at least 30 credits and at most 48 credits depending on your institutions. You can’t be credited more than 48 credits (or the maximum credits) at the session. Consequent to this, students carry over courses cannot be allowed to register more that approved maximum number or unit for the session. Without prejudice to the above, a graduating student may register for only the number of credit he/she requires to graduate.

Calculation of Final Cumulative Grade Point Average (FCGPA)

To calculate the FCGPA, add all the CGPA and divided by the numbers of years if a student of a university has the following CGPA: 4.00, 3.85, 5.0, 4.50, then the FCGPA will be calculated as follows

FCGPA  =  4.00 + 3.85 + 5.00 + 4.50

                                    4

=             17.35             =      4.33

                    4                         

For a University student this grade is Second Class Upper Division. (See page……… for polytechnic and College of Education) Note for Polytechnic and College of Education will be divided by two for ND and HND and by three for NCE.

Direct Entry Students

A University direct entry student is either three or four years as the case may be. Thus the calculation for FCGPA for a direct entry student will be according to the numbers of years. Example

3 years

4.00 + 3.85 + 5.00

             3                 =             4.283

4 years

5.00 + 4.00 + 4.00 + 5.00

                  4                            =             4.50
