B.tech u re funny. Do u knw hw difficult it is to get B.tech. Incase u dnt knw, B:tech is used by FEDERAL UNIVERSITY of TECHNOLOGY nationwide. We spend extra year in school to get dat b.tech. For instance; studyin mathematics in other schools is 4yrs while in technology schools we spend 5yrs. In otherwords,respect dat honour and knw dat it cant b used for polytechnic. Thanks

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.

"u can't be smart" what do u call dat? Just because i said dat here doesn't make it ur concern.

Remembered when a girl said she cant date a Polytechnic graduate ....Not funny right?

I graduated from a Polytechnic and I can say I am doing well for myself by the grace of God. Definitely, discrimination abound in the organization where I work between Polytechnic graduates and university grads but that hasn't dampened my morale of getting a degree. Pay package is different as well as career path for both.

My advise to graduates from Polytechnic, whatever the class of credit you graduate with, you still stand a chance of securing a white collar job but bear in mind that you wont be rated at par with your university counter part in the workplace, so the earlier you understand that the better for you as you will save your self a lot of hatred for your co-worker.

Be the master of your game, that way you can beat your university counterpart to it even if you don't have a degree. Be smart, skillful, tactful and be the best at what you do.

Above all, acquire more qualifications if you have the wherewithal as this will help your progression in whatever career path you have chosen to pursue.

Like I tell people, a university degree/polytechnic diploma isn't a passport to a successful life but

Education + God + Intelligence + Skillfulness + ........ a lot more = Success

Am a FedPofite, and a proud one at that.

God Bless Nigeria

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.

Even for NL,dem discriminate
Most uni graduates blv poly graduates writes poorly on NL, what a bad omen and shallow mentality.

i passed them dont just assume mr man. I saw people i did better than got admitted into uniben because they paid 80k and my dad couldnt afford that at that time. My friend whom we wrote unilorin together i did better than him but he was admitted cos his uncle working in the school assisted him.

Bross am a student of UNIBEN and i really understands your plight, if you score very high in the postutme they will not denied you and moreover catchment area is another yardstick in most federal universities in determine admission cuttoff point..for example, i was once a victim cos i could remember vividly during my Direct entry Exam of which i wrote three times in UNIBEN just because i want to study ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING, and am a southwesterner . I was denied the admission to my favourite course twice all thou i was given Industrial Physics and Production Engineering for the two attempt but i thought my score was low where by my friends that scored less than me got Electrical once but they are from Edo and Delta state, to cut the story shut i tried it the third time and i performed excellently. Today am a bonifide Energy conscious student of UNIBEN..Bross, my candid advice for you is to be focus cos patience, perseverance and persistence there is profit in it. The world is meant for the optimist only pessimist are spectators. I never see my self as a second fiddle since my toddler till this moment, so brother kindly be focus and crystalline your goal cos the skye is your starting point.

the problem to comprehend simple english... not u can't be smart, it was*u can't be smart enough* hun I don't get, it's not my concern?

O boy, u've got the option to read jst comments and waka pass if u don't want ppl to quote u hun? Anyway, if that's how better u can understand my English. Accept my apology.

Na now una no say 'poly' na victimization. D problem with Nigerians/human being is dat we always want to have our cake and eat it.
U write jamb... Univasity cut off na 200 dat of poly is 170... Una no complain of discrimination oooo


It is easier to get good grades in poly than university,una no complain( I used to be a poly stdnt,I neva bribed any lecturer,an average stdnt,nd I graduated as d 2nd best in my department,so,I knw wat i M sayn)

Poly stdnts re not intelligent,they re local and limited in brain resources. Most of them are jez brilliant. I don't really knw abt science stdnts bt I am 100% sure of all those social science courses. I asked like 10 of my frnds 'wat next after ond' na marriage,work all of them they shout'even guys!. Only 1 gave me a reasonable answer(mayb dats y we re still frnds. 6yrs nd still counting. Lol)

Make una no insult me 4 casting poly stdnts. Na d truth I yarn so. PERSoNALLY, as an employer,I can't employ poly stdnt until he proves beyond reasonable doubt dat he is sensible. I ve taken steps 4ward nitemi. Direct entry,pen ultimate stage of ICAN. I told myself... I DESERVE MORE THAN A POLY HAS TO OFFER

Owliver:
am not bothered sef. One tin about me is that if i earn 70k and you earn 200k i hardly care as long as i have my own 70k. Life is short and i hardly notice the rat race after all magot will still eat us up no discrimination there hehe. My sister is in uniben now she got 56 in pume but had to pay 80k to upgrade her score as a science student. I guess that makes her better than all poly science students lol. Its a bleeped up system. Thanks man

My former boss in UAC attained the highest position you can ever think of(Full manager)with his HND in accounting(upper credit from Ado poly). Actually,government is adding more salt to the injury of all polytechnic students and graduates by not taking any measure against this discrimination.The truth is that this discrimination is uncalled for.Am a youth corps member in Ibadan.In my lodge here in ibadan,I have university graduates as colleagues and it is sad to note that only 2 out of 5 of them are sound academically.They are just too local and uncivilised. Can you imagine an Ondo state university graduate asking a question like this"how old are him and how old is they?With my ND then,I worked as an account officer in UAC for four years before going back for my HND.I trained so many university graduates on accounting job especially how to use accounting softwares for accounting work.I have to send one back to the head office because he couldn't even hold a mouse properly.To locate start key on keyboard was a problem for him let alone working on the system and the guy finished from FUTA.And there was another one who was looking for a recycle bin to restore a deleted number on a desktop phone.I even remember vividly that before getting work in UAC,I use to teach OOU and LASU students(including finalists) some courses..I even went as far as writing examination for them in exchange for cash.This discrimination ain't worth it at all and FG. Should be blamed for this.B.sc or HND,owo ni koko..Lastly,at my orientation camp,it was a disgrace to see statistics graduates with B.sc who doesn't know how to use just a simple SPSS.... Proudly federal polytechnic,Ede Alumni..
