This year Unilag Postgraduate Result is generating a lot of talk time in the news, social media and fora.
My blog has been receiving loads of calls and feedback concerning worried students and their love ones.
Thanks for all the comments and questions being poured in from all my readers concerning the issues raised in these series of Unilag result analysis.
If you have not read the previous series you may do well to read them as they are very expository and may help you in your judgment and decision making.
SERIES 1 -- STATUS IS RECOMMENDED
SERIES 2 -- STATUS IS NOT RECOMMENDED
SERIES 3 --STATUS IS NOT QUALIFIED
Someone wrote a few days ago
" Mr Dan thanks for this eye opening info, now I know what to do with my status"
That is the purpose of these series.
to enable you and give you the power of action and judgement.
Now over to today series - STEP DOWN STATUS
Like its twin sister - Not qualified, they bear some similarities, however, these has more to do with formality than legality.
Not qualified has to do with eligibility from the set go, but this is a bit twisted and when you have it in your result comment its really a cause of concern.
So what does step down really denote?
Step down from where or what?
Can it be resolved?
What it mean you did not pass the exams or meet the cut of mark?
We shall be looking at all these today in this post
I will do an analysis soon on the results watch out for it.

There is one of five status attached to each score depending on the cut off marks set by the dept.
The five status which I treated in-depth in this post are
1. Recommended STATUS
2. NOT Recommended STATUS
3. NOT Qualified STATUS
4. STEP DOWN STATUS
5. Not SET STATUS
I will use this post to treat STEP DOWN.
How To Check :
log in to Spgs Unilag website and input your reg nos and surname better still just follow the link below to access the page:http://applications.unilag.edu.ng/(S(ge42j5his2ub1bfvdeijvgyh))/Login.aspx
The MEANING :
You actually passed the exams, but after checking your documents and application, you were step down from admission until the cases against you are rectified, if not the admission is gone.So get it straight, You passed the exams and also beat the cut off points
You are supposed to be recommended i.e your name in admission list.
But you were now STEP DOWN for the course you chose. Because of any of the following:
1. you are eligible but not have the qualification, e.g you have 3rd class instead of 2:2 for msc biochem
2. your school is not recognized. e.g a satellite school applying
3. you applied for msc instead of pgd. e.g MA English applying for Msc mass comm instead of pgd Mass comm
4. Your application is faulty - you did not chose school, no Bsc filled, or grade notified. any problem with the form steps you down
5. Your course is related but not covered in the brochure for those to apply for this course
NOTE OF WARNING!!!
Those boys who are helped you during application in campus during application stage may never noticed this discrepancies as they are technical issues onlya postgraduate degree holder who has gone through Unilag admission process can see or detect these.
So always ask those who wants to help you fill your form, if they have gone through the system.
The IMPLICATION :
You MAY still get the admission but very very tiny chanceyou were very careless in your application and so may pay a big price for it
The department will be waiting for you to come and clear some things/irregularity noticed in your application
WHAT's Next:
1. Go to the dept and see if you can rectify any of the issues raised, sometimes you with some clarification you may be let off the hook and given your admission2. If you cannot which is likely the case most times, you take proper note and move ahead
3. Ask for options open to you with this situation
4. Prepare for next year exams or go apply for another school Postgraduate program with a lot of thoughtfulness
