You just split out trash here and this shows how limited and ignorance you are about academic system. How I wish I can see you in person to prove some things for you. Talking about SIWES and I. T program as if university students are there to joke for 5 years.
Next time before you comment, try and have a balance understanding about the topic and content.

sbaks:
I know hence my response

saaphiere:
One is practical one is theory

salbis:
They even have an association. Funny how people are always quick at pointing out practical aspect of HND holders, as if B.Sc holders don't do practicals too. Most of these HND holders would have opted for university if they have had the opportunity.

sbaks:
He's forgetting the "nepotism" involved in admission hence where you see admission is where you go. You mustn't be bright to attend a university. Just have the connect. There are people with very high jamb score who couldn't afford UNIVERSITY cos of nepotism hence saw Polytechnic and went. He's so uninformed

kelvinunilag:
Do you know the rigorous stress bsc holder have to go through to be admitted in the university? After you score 168 in jamb you are hoping to be admitted into a university, seems you guys are sick, you deserve the HND, HND is for people who perform poorly in jamb, but the truth is that the HND holder ends up becoming academically sound, honestly, I envy them when dey come to unilag dli to run direct entry, they are so good.

There is no bullshit greater than this. I was in the polytechnic before heading to the university. They were two of the best schools in their category and I can confidently tell you you're biased and perhaps a victim of the discrimination.

While I don't support or give in to the discrimination, let's quickly be clear on something. The polytechnics house a lot of the dullest Nigerian students. This is not to say there aren't good ones.

Again, the issue of having more practical advantage is another truckload of bullshit. I mean, polytechnics are just far behind and wouldn't catch up because of poor funding. They don't even have electricity to run functional laboratories. Nothing works in the polytechnic.

Many universities alike are so as well but I was in one of the top three universities and polytechnics and the difference is just not quantifiable.

sbaks:
This you did to be accepted in the job society not that it was necessary (as per knowledge wise). Whenever you get to the field, you'll deliver and then it will look like "all thanks to UNN" where as you have that Polytechnic advantage which is what built you. Now tell me, what about the massive rest that didn't have the opportunity you have? This is what I'm saying. University system has lost it.
I get your point though

sbaks:
So sad! TBH the students universities graduate these days are Nothing to write home about. All they are interested In is social media. University education has lost it's relevance in recent times and operate in "PAST GLORY". To my greatest shock, a lot of Polytechnic students have been delivering of late (and even college of health tech.). Very intelligent and serious minded people even in the field. I was made to understand that due to the "practical nature of the Polytechnic system" they get more serious and are exposed to a lot hence their ability to deliver.
As an employer of labour, I'd rather go for a Polytechnic graduate (who knows the job and need not be told what to do) than a university graduate who knows nothing. I'll not have to spend money on training them (Polytechnic graduates) as they are really no freshers and are exposed more in the job environment. Their SIWES (nd1), full IT (After ND which they naturally go look for full time jobs) gives them edge over university graduates. I must confess, they really deliver in the field (At least from all I've worked with TRUTH BE TOLD). IT SHOULD BE EQUATED

My Friend you will never appreciate the work of a farmer until hunger strike you.. Polytechnic are well appreciated in the field where bunch of the work are

joefelin2345:
Which practical are you referring to? Who tells U University students do not undergo practical exposure. I read Agric Economics for 5 years with 1 year full practical. I served in Kano State with HND graduates in the sane discipline. Our employers knew the difference without me talking.

Jaybnjamin:


This is exactly how lame most polytechnic students behaves.

sbaks:
6 months. I employ both in my office so don't argue. My colleagues have attested same. Don't argue. No business man wants to waste money on trash. A lot of university students lack a lot and we don't have time for that.

1StopRudeness:


U are trying to sound brilliant....but u are just jumping all over the place....first u claim

university has lost its glory....all they are interested in is social media.... where did u get this from... so polytechnic student don’t do social media??

Then u claim there’s are sound polytechnic graduate....of course... so there are no sound university graduates?? These reasons aren’t enough to equate both...u are not being objective....

They were never the same from the start.... by research, by number of units, by course content, and Nysc doesn’t make them equal..

Gone are the days where an awo student was seen as a brain box. Now you get so disappointed I tell you. You'd see a student of mapoly, nekede or some STATE POLY FROM THE NORTH delivering better. I'm saying this with much bitterness and concern. Even UNN students too. University system is collapsed Tbh. So far only unilag that I've seen are "sort of" ok (and still some disappoint). Poly students are good I MUST CONFESS (and funny enough monotechnic students too from "STATE INSTITUTIONS AND NOT EVEN FEDERAL". THESE ARE THE BEST NOW BUT THE MEDIA TRIES TO KILL IT COS IT WOULD BE A SHAME ON THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM. They should be EQUATED that's the truth

ThreeBlackBird:


I wouldn't tell you that because I'm an alumnus and it would be a shame to put that up. I eventually graduated from UNILAG, if you will know though.

I understand both systems like the back of my palm. If you've not been there, you wouldn't understand.

University cut off Mark is 180
polytechnic cut off Mark is 100

so how can you compare apples with orange

college of education is even worst,
their cut off Mark is 25.

I beg swerve let us hear better gist. even with the hnd what can you construct.

BSC is respected worldwide, who know hnd, very soon ond students will want to rub shoulders too.

mind you I am a graduate of Leeds University, we no be mate

team BSC hit love button, team hnd ffffuck off

Chukwudi4naija:
This HND holders with their entitlement mentality. This discrimination has been there for ages and you think this is the right time to change the status quo, having lagged behind in intellect with your contemporaries who struggled so hard to beat the admission standard obtainable in universities.

No one in Nigeria would have desired polytechnic education if given an option to attend university. So why crying foul now. It's never a rewarding adventure to compromise standard. Always aim to be among the best to avoid unnecessary struggle to upturn reality.

The Polytechnic was formed to create middle level manpower while the university graduates are universal ,so what the fuss about,
HND should be scrapped from participating in the NYSC ,
I am a proud product of the two citadel of learning.

salbis:
. More than half of HND holders would have opted for B.Sc if given the opportunity. Some HND holders may be smart and intelligent, but certainly, the two are never on the same level.
