Re: Hnd Is Equivalent To A Bsc by dahmie2013: 3:58pm On Dec 30, 2013
I don't see d reason 4 d discriminatn eida, sincerely haven interracted with persons 4rm both degrees, I see no difference. To be candid, dey are sometimes in some vocatns better dan d bsc grads.

D irony is, not only do emoployers discriminate, even amongst ourselves as students or job seekers, we tend 2 see dem am as inferior while d bsc's see demselves as superior.

As far as I'm concerned wealth is no respecter of degrees, its only ur money dat can give u a voice in dis dispensatn.

Accountants no dey do practical, whether in a university, polytechnic or monotechnic.

In the Engineering field, they do more of practicals than theory.
In a university, all engineering students will take a course called "ALGEBRA" (both basic and advanced) in first year (first semester).

In a polytechnic, mechanical Engineering students take this same course as "ADVANCED ALGEBRA" in their final year

zebra: Please, if World Educational Services (WES), a US educational evaluation agency could evaluate a Nigerian HND certificate and say it is equivalent to a 4-year Bsc Degree, what then is the problem of Nigeria and Nigerians? Many HND holders have had their transcripts evaluated by WES and the outcomes have been that the Nigerian HND is equivalent to a Bsc Degree. What then is making Nigeria to still discriminate against Nigerian HND holders? Try evaluating ur Bsc or HND certificate with www.wes.org and see. Or, is it that they don't know what they are doing?

You are most likely an HND holder..Nevertheless, your point is open to debate.

There is no point wasting time on this issue.The simple question for the op is,why are polytechnic graduates admitted into the second year in a university if their certificate is equivalent to a B.sc?

Nigeria doesn't run her HND program what way?

Where in that link did they say HND is not 4years plus 1 year IT

We are not running the US system of education, we are running the UK's, and if they don't accept it then we don't accept it too. Maybe when we start running the US system then we can accept it as being equal

TRY LONDON BUSINESS SCHOOL AND SEE IF YOU WILL NOT BE OFFERED A MASTERS ADMISSION WITH YOUR HND, ALL YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT ALL STRONG AND HIGH RATED SCHOOL IN THE WORLD RECRUIT THEIR STUDENTS THROUGH WES AND USING WES EVALUATION STANDARD.

oga pls shut the Bleep up. We are talking HND and BSC in Nigeria here, and are you restating your opinions based on foreign dispositions. What's our business with baltimore and london school?

What's our business with WES here?

Scream that in your interview and see if you would get employed.



Are those the organisations that would employ you here in Nigeria?

Datz my 1st semester's ND1 mth112 work ok,in engineering poly is the best because we are always open to the field and encouraged to research work.All the engineering masters were all bred in polytechnics and monotechnics check it up!!

Mr Man, I did same evaluation and this is what I got: a BSC degree in Geology is equivalent to a BSC degree in the U.S . So pls stop feeding us with false info.

Your Degree Equivalency

Now that you know what your education is worth in the U.S., get a WES credential evaluation to verify your credentials so they will be recognized by U.S. universities, employers and licensing boards.
Credential 1
Country of Education:Nigeria
Name of Degree:Bachelor of Science
Name of Institution:Ahmadu Bello University
Equivalency in U.S.:Bachelor's degree
 
NOTE: Any degree equivalency provided is based on the information you have entered. It is not based on verified information or documents and may not be used as proof that you attended an institution or earned a degree. WES may change this provisional degree equivalency upon document verification and analysis. To order a formal evaluation of your credentials, go to

HND and B.Eng are not thesame and can never be.

The work of a B.eng can never be assigned to technologist even in US. Your comparison is liken to a brick layer who suddenly turn to contractor and can build a confortable four-storey building but that does not make him a civil engineer. Yes he does the work of a civil engineer but he has a limitations: he can't even think sky crapper! That's just the difference. They may be eQuivalent but not equal.
One has limit but the other is unlimited.

I Hope a cleared your doubts?

I don't believe in this equivalent or equality or whatever u might call it... If HND has to be compare to BSC then they need to be offering Economics, Law, Medicine, and many courses like that in poly just like the university.
