Why would I deceived myself ? To each his own opinion

Your ending up in polytechnic doesn't change the facts about it. It' s just like someone with a Neco certificate trying to hustle someone with a Waec cert !

The difference is clear.

Bluetooth2:



Most of the courses offered by polytechnics are covered by universities. Polytechnics is a remedy to those who can't get into a university. I'm yet to see anyone who chose a polytechnic as their first choice in Jamb !

I could have said that success is not determined by education but looking at where certificates is currently pushing Buhari... I will hold my words for now

You are discriminatory in nature.. I've got no time for all these cos I know you would resort to cause e-fight

Live your life the way it suits you Mr Bsc holder

DrFunmi:

You got it all wrong. I didn't put this up to trigger argument. I just wanted to state some obvious hard truth. I wish both BSc and HND holders the best of 2015.

Modified: 1 forgot to add this point:

9 Worth of certificate - the BSc certificate is more valuable than the HND certificate. An HND holder requires a PGD to further his Postgraduate studies even if the holder has a distinction. On the other hand, a BSc holder can directly enrol for MSc or PhD without any hurdle. HND is equivalent to an associate degree in the USA and will require additional courses to be accepted in foreign institution. A BSc holder in Nigeria faces no such barrier.

Another thread that will trigger violence & enmity between both parties

OP, why not try making efforts on how to influence neighbours, friends, families & the less privileged ones with your Bsc rather than making other ppl feel less of themselves ?. Some people are seated in their offices working tiredlessly and making cool cash, you dey give urself unnecessary worry over Bsc superiority & Bsc/HND juxtaposition when there are thousands of hopeless & frustrated qualified graduates out there roaming the streets. (Well sha, you go soon enter labour market you go see say e no easy for anybody, be ye Bsc/HND)

Remember the worship & unnecessary hype of your Bsc is the beginning of joblessness

You get time sha

Dude stop tripping over this shiit. The qquote below is from your first response to the @op and it's not only discriminatory but shows your level of insecurity and unnecessary defense .


Yes and yes, HND is inferior to BSC !

I would advise you to accept the Polytechnic education.

Do not listen to all those who advised you sit at home and re-write Jamb. When you are planning positively, you should also have plans should in case your positive plan fails you. If you re-take Jamb next year and you still score below 170 ? You will regret why you let go the admission

My bro accept the admission and probably obtain a Jamb form alongside
I hope this helps

LARRYDKING:


The main reason why i had to cross to the uni is simply becos of the disparity, just like the O.P has done. Knowledge is power, whether aquired in a uni or poly or sec sch. I later found out many students in the uni have empty skull, some robbed d so called poly students of admission 2ru connections and other means.

All in all, it's cool being on d recognised side.

haitto99:
front page...hmmmm. although I hv a b.tech degree in engineering,but to be sincere HND graduates are more practical oriented than b.sc holders,talking from the engineering point of view

PAnaceA7:

You don't have to flair up over what Op said, it's d bitter truth..Most Hnd holders still go ahead to d University cus they know it's importance. Now look closer and point out which one out of the eight is false rather than taking it personal.

pureguide:


BSC candidate! Am sure your older than me.

dROC1:
Having been a product of both the Polytechnic and University systems, I would say the HND does not compare to the Bsc.
Gone are the days when we would be debating that Poly students are better than Uni students. We are in the real world now and the facts are clear that there is no debate on which is superior qualififcation.

In America, HND is the equivalent of a High School Certificate. You would need a PGD before even thinking of an MSc.

The self esteem is affected as you will have to work twice as hard to earn what BSc holders are getting easily.

At the end of the day it all boils down to what an individual wants in life.

DrFunmi:
5 Quality of students - The brightest, youngest and most motivated students go to the universities. Go to a polytechnic and what you will see a lot of dejected, not-so-young students who have written UTME many times but have not succeeded. A few in the polytechnics are young and bright, but they are few and far between. The majority of young and bright students, just fresh from secondary school are found within the 4 walls of the university. Thus, most university grads are of higher intellectual quality than their poly counterparts.

dorlapoh20:
i think this op is getting it wrong. HND holders are more preferred by companies than Bsc holders because of the training and praticals they do.Lectures in polytechniques are more hardworking. The only point you have is self esteem which is not necessary

bamdexfarms:



lecturers in polys will teach you, while those in unis will never take time to explain to you due to their pride

PAnaceA7:

Dull students abound everywhere even in the poly... It's not just peculiar to the universities alone
