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

I can see how you are running from pillar to post trying to sell the narrative that the Polytechnic is not only equal but better than Universities. This is nothing but self-delusion!

Be sincere to yourself, if you had both opportunities on a platter; which would you go for?

I know there are brilliant and dumb people in both institutions, but you certainly can't compare them in proportion.

The University standard is higher. The infrastructures are better equipped. The entry qualifications aren't the same. And you want them to be equal?

It is good that there are some Poly graduates out there doing well for themselves, but you will be making a joke of yourself by trying to sell the narrative that they are equal or even better than Universities! Not even in the next 1000 years...

I'm a university graduate. Not even here. But I MUST SAY THE TRUTH

Chukwudi4naija:
These 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.

Then you get it wrong here and you need to step up in your research. BTW, what's the name of your organization and what your area of specialization, maybe I should just give you one university I. T student so that you will understand.
I'm not talking about discrimination here, but I'm telling you that their role is different, thy they aren't equal. If I give your polytechnic I. T student a role of university student a bet with you that he/she will find it hard to comprehend at that instance. And if you don't agree, send one if them to Lagos here, electrical engineering to be precised.
Thanks

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

Then the fault must be from the University you attended. Not here...Cotonou I guess then.

My advice to pple seeing themselves being discriminated is that JUST SAVE MONEY after graduation and attend a highly recognized school.

For me, after graduation I splashed money on getting a better school and organization name on my CV

1- Harvard business school
2- World Bank Group certification program

Companies don’t call me for interview they asked me “how much salary do you want?
Before inviting me over.

Do whatever it takes to get a school name among the top 10 in the world, and stop looking at Nigeria ratings.

A friend of my spent 7 million to attend a pilot school in South Africa.

A guy who works in chevron splash 5 million to attend Oxford UNi.

This is after graduation.

I did it, you can too...

Make sure you stop nonsense...

Easier to spot OND/HND holder. The discrimination that got an HND certificate holder a civil defence job and got me disqualified! That day, I wished that my degree certificate turned into HND certificate

kheny12:
HND and BSC are the same both four years. so why are they discriminating

sbaks:
Look at this fool! Am I your mate? When did cotonou start UNIVERSITY? Do you know how old I am? Is every commenter on nairaland a kid? I schooled in England and have 2 masters (one here from South west). Besides I'm not your mate. I can tell you are a kid and it reflects a lot.
Back to the topic, University students of NOW don't deliver.
Well this is in faceless forum. Feel free to run your mouth. But I bet you in real life you wouldn't dare.
BETTER TO GO TO A PRIVATE UNIVERSITY OR ABROAD FOR STUDIES. NIGERIAN UNIVERSITY SYSTEM IS A MESS

Why can't you state the Polytechnic you attended? Now, I can see why you are trying to amplify any difference(s) whatsoever which exists.

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.

saaphiere:
Interpret your first statement please.

ojib:
thanks with your pride that leads you always to the canal.

I pay salaries of BSc holders with my HND. and make an HND HOLDER their boss.. Most of you can't think beyond what you see.

keep bragging with your BSc while we keep making it..

Olodo.

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.
