HND Holder Vs Third Class Degree Bsc Holder: Which Is Better? - EDUREGARD by Fynestboi: 8:32pm On Jul 07, 2016 |
Most probably, contrary to your belief, this is no fight between HND and Degree, we are just here to check and balance. Having an HND and having a Third Class BSC Degree, which one is better concerning regards for each in the employment market. First of all, Definition of Terms for some of us who might not be so sure of what HND and Third Class BSC are : HND Holder is one who has completed a course program at a Polytechnic in Nigeria. The certificate awarded upon completion of the program is the Higher National Diploma (HND). BSc Holder is one who has completed an undergraduate program at a University in Nigeria. The degree awarded upon completion of the program is a Bachelor Degree (BSc). Now, my own opinion : Since time past the HND has always being considered inferior to the BSc. This, at least, was the idea inculcated in us by the colonial masters and this mentality is what many of us still hold onto today, which is not supposed to be. It is also important that we know that the university is an internationally recognized higher institution of learning all around the world. As such, a third class BSc holder may sometimes have the opportunity of furthering their studies in a way that the HND holder cannot because a BSc is recognized everywhere while same cannot be said for the HND. Besides, we look down on the HND ourselves in Nigeria, why then would international bodies regard it any more than we do. Many employers today may not even include HND as one of the qualifications required for job vacancy positions. In light of this, HND holders may sometimes get automatically disqualified before even getting a chance at interview. Another key point is, an HND holder may secure a good job real quick compared to a third class BSc holder, but the effect of this is that in the long run, a HND holder who fails to upgrade his certificate to a BSc may find himself bowing to that third class BSc holder (who has now added to his qualifications) whom he had left behind all those years ago. Well, not to sound bias : Over the years, Polytechnic graduates have proven themselves to be in no way inferior to their counterparts in the university. Today, a polytechnic student can stand shoulder to shoulder with an undergraduate in the university and even surpass him/her. Besides, Polytechnics have being known to conduct more research and practical works than the university. This prepares the students adequately for what is needed to face the outside world. In conclusion, it would be wrong of me to declare a third class degree as better than the HND. So here we are, what's your view. Graduating with an HND or a Third Class BSC Degree - Which is better?

I guess it all depends on the class of the HND (degree). If the HND is a distinction, then I will agree it is far better and more considerable/commendable than a BSc in the 3rd class category. But if it is lower credit HND (or even an upper credit at times) then I'll completely tell you the BSc 3rd class is more considerable/preferable to the HND. Of course a distinction in HND is [supposed to be] better than a 3rd class BSc degree, but in any case, the average Nigerian person might not see it in that light. My humble opinion, though. PS there's a huge difference between 'being' and 'been' sir. The write up is very nice I must confess, but you used 'being' where you were supposed to use 'been.' I'm sorry I couldn't overlook it, because it always troubles me to see such mistakes. 21 Likes 1 Share |

I don't think there's a general rule to justify that a university student will definitely be better than a polytechnic graduate. I think it has to do with individual differences and perhaps , how you're able to develop and equip yourself Though, I can't speak for others but I can at least speak for myself.. I have HND in view and to the glory of God, I can confidently compete with any university student to a large extent (area of specialization apart) without being sidelined. I have had the opportunity to do certain things with many university students/graduates and my influence is greatly being felt that it makes them doubt the misconceptions and stigma placed on polytechnic students. Above all, both university and polytechnic students can be half-baked, they can both be dumb heads, they can both be unproductive and unemployable in the labour market, they can both goof when put to test, they can both be grammatically deficient. In fact, an SSCE holder may even perform better than both of them So, in a nutshell, a university graduate can be better than a polytechnic graduate and vice versa The fact that others were not privileged to attend a university is not enough reason to unjustly rule out a discriminating conclusion just because you want to showcase superiority. Only broke and jobless people bother themselves with such an uncalled juxtaposition aimed at morale boosting. My 2cent ![]() 77 Likes 13 Shares |

It depends on the KNOWLEDGE and skills they can demonstrate in relation to what is required for the job at hand. Many certificate holders are not worth the PAPER of their certificates. [img]http://1.bp..com/-CTS_2JBlXDM/VlzT_ZzyVXI/AAAAAAAAAMk/mJ8fRLUL-XE/s640/why2.jpg[/img] 7 Likes 3 Shares |

Given that they studied different courses, in different institutions, taught by different lecturers with different knowledge and mindsets.. it is very difficult compare both of them. In order words looking at grades at mere face value dont really give a true view of someone's intellect. Neither does studying in a poly mean you are inferior to someone who studied in a uni. We need to compare like with like and even at that, there are still limitations. Thats the reason i don't judge based on mere academic performances. 2 Likes |

At the government establishment BSc 3rd class is superior to HND. You can't head a department or ministry with HND, but with BSc 3rd class you can head departments or ministries. It's there in the public service gazette. 26 Likes 1 Share |
