I disagree wit u practically on dis assertion, I graduated from the polytechnic and jst an ND holder presently.when it comes to management courses I dont object but practical courses like mass comm which apns to b my field of study then u ar makin a big mistake. Am howeva tryn to opt for a Uni degree in a managemnt course but still hope to complete my HND in mass communication. Ask me for exampls and i wll giv u many.

Smiles. I didn't do any course relating to management. I am sorry.

I vehemently disagree with that statement.

The country's educational system is poor but majority will agree that polytechnics are far worse than universities.

This thread is dedicated to all polytechnic graduates who took the pains to go to school for 4,5 and or 6years.
Mine was that some weeks ago, I applied for a job with stanbic pensions and was told they don't take HND. .. Just BSC. I felt bad but moved on. I knew that wasn't mine and simply told my Bsc friend to apply and he was taken. Thank God the space wasn't a waste.
Please let's share our experiences and hope some day thing's will change for the better.

ogashman:
I'm a poly graduate n I dare all these ppl saying university grads re better.you re no match to an average poly graduate in all ramifications.

kingslly:
I dont think anyone is discriminating against anyone, it all boils down to how we percieve things,i've applied for a job with a bank some time ago and was told they only want pple with HND, i didnt see it as discrimination because thats what they want at that particular time. OP am sure nobody prevented you from getting a University Degree and sure u knew u will be getting a HND cert after graduation before applying for admission in your school.

AreaFada2:


Accounting graduates from Auchi Poly, KadPoly, The Poly Ibadan and others are reputed to be very good. More practice-focussed.

I believe Polys should leave courses like management/Business to universities and concentrate on engineering and other technical courses.

Oyetboy:
since may 5, no one commented on this thread, until it made frontpage, hmm even nl sef dey victimize hnd holders

pointzero30:
my broda sorry but I want to let u kn dat hnd and bsc are never the same despite d noba of years. u got higher diploma n nt bachelors degree. there were universities n u chose poly. d cut of mark are never d same. my dear pple should stop applying to poly n wait till they are admitted. so many pple v applied this year bearing in mind of this discrimination later dey complain. anyways dey are easily taken in banks. stop applying or live with the stigma. thks oops dorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Thavybe:
Probably, you know a few good ones from the above polytechnics you mentioned but it is wrong to generalize by saying polytechnic students are better than university students in accounting, that is a fallacy of hasty generalization.

histemple:


This post actually made FP by error because we have treated this same topic extensively and exhaustively too. It is obvious some people just jump into any available school without knowing what the institution stands for. That on its own is a form of illiteracy. How can a human being call himself a graduate without understanding the purpose of his institution only to lament spending the same 4 years with a university graduate but treated differently because he attended polytechnic.
Is it not the same 4 years that an NCE holder spent? Will it not sound ridiculous for an NCE holder to lament being victimized when HND is preferred in employment. The OP should go and research the rationale behind the establishment of Monotechnics, Polytechnics, College of Education and Universities.

sanandreas:
They have a long way to go. The few ones I have interacted with are not sound academically. Not all anyway . I know of a guy from yabatech, he is good.

I want you to enlighten me miss, why are both institutions offering the same course such as Accountancy, business administration etc when they both serve different purpose?

Now is it the fault of the student or the useless Educational system we have in this country?

Owliver:
lol good though.... i did two post ume in unilorin and uniben and i passed both but wasnt taken had to take poly jamb and now am serving. I saw a bit of discrimination during my it in a bank but am not discouraged. What we make out of our predicaments is what matters not the predicament hehe. There are illitrates who are millionairs.

LuckyLadolce:
in my bank, we recruits both B.sc and Hnd. When we were called for training after passing the test, I can still remember very well that we were asked to write job application letter on the day we were passing out from the training school. My brother, I helped five of my colleagues who are B.sc holders to write the letter and each of them got different one. This is not to say their brains are dead. Its jst that they might be frightened at that particular moment. Mean while, am jst an ordinary HND holder as u ppl with shallow minds call it. Lemme ask u, how do u even identify ppl who r academically sound? Jst by their spoken of English? Stop this selfish lifestyle, it doesn't pay. Jst because some of u are privileged to have attended university doesn't guarantee u a success. Success is a different pace on its own and it comes from God. Stop seeing urself bigger than HND holders, some of them can even help ur life and make you more bigger than u r. Don't think u have arrived, u r still a very young man and u still av a very far and long way to go too hun!!. God bless you.

You weren't adnitted because you did not meet the cut off score... simple as ABC. You now decided to go the easy route: Applied to poly since it has easier entry requirements. So don't complain about the discrimination you are currently experiencing. It's also not or never too late. I am sure you have heard of Direct entry. The most attractable candidate is one with poly diploma and degree certificate.
