The way people view credentials in Nigeria is horrible and may be linked to one of the reasons our society is academically poor. HND or BSc, what matters most is the quality of your credential. I know fully well that businesses who have clear understanding about the two make use of them very very well. For example, the place I work, the business require a certain positions to be occupied by BSc holders and some for HND holders. BSc holders are known to be students who have theoretical and in-depth calculative analysis of knowledge whereby HND are theoretical and practical knowledge. These two classes of credentials are need in a very productive societies. But in Nigeria, most businesses consider HND holders as people without knowlege, people who cant pass JAMB and people who did not get adequate intellectual knowledge. In general, HND holders tend to get job more and faster in industrialized societies because, practical knowledge are required more than in-depth calculation activities, most especially in this century computer is doing most works. If we continue to judge who' who, the world will continue to forge ahead while we keep deliberating the importance of BSc over HND. Above all, your certificate can only give you a job at the moment and your content can move you in and out of good jobs. |

YOU ARE PRETTY CORRECT SIR, THOUGH I FINISHED WITH A POYTECHNIC as my first degree, and then futhering for my PGD and MSC, I SHALL yet prefer a 3rd class to any HND any day , any time.this is due to my past experience. SirAlfred: |

HND/BSC: 1st on has to know y dos institution were establish. A polytechnic was establish to train and graduate TECHNICIANS, while the university was estatblish to train & graduate OFFICERS. An HND holder may defend his certificate better than a BSC holder and vice versa but dat doesn't mean one is beta dan d other. Dey hv different role, training & assignment. A Bsc in Mech do the research & make d design, while the HND in mech implement the design to the fullest. Both r dependent on each other. Even in d education sector & civil service we hv officer & technician. Dis is d same all over the world. U made ur choice once u enta in either of this institutions, so please dnt complain of ur certificate (it is either u want 2 b a technician or an officer). |

I can authoritatively tell you that some upper credit holders of some polytechnics are far better than some University graduants who parade themselves as either first or second class degree holders. Let us keep sentiments apart in this Country; and give equal opportunities to both HND and BSc holders to prove themselves. One of the major challenges we are having in this Country is that we so much believe in paper qualification. |

OP, what do u mean by better? What is the basis for comparison? In terms of employment, it depends on the organization. Banks prefer to employ HND cos they pay them less than degree holders. My organization have recently stopped employing anyone with less than a first degree, a third class has higher chances than a HND holder. So there you have it |

This is not about 1st class, third clas, upper credit or lower credit. HND is HND & BSC is BSC. Dnt try 2 justify anytin here. If u dnt want 2 b a technician or been employed as a level 7 employee go 2 d the university simple. Let's stop dis HND/BSC tin, Whether bank or some organization lyk ND or HND because dey can shortpay dem or because dey only need technicians.but d truth is Deir is a difference btwn grammar schl & technical schl, polytechnic & unversity, unversity & college of education, MBA & MSC, medical docor Dr. & PHD Doctor of philosophy. |

Fynestboi: it's fundamentally wrong to make such a comparison. The HND holder is taught to become a technologist. His line of work differs totally to that of the Scientist. The backwardness in this country has created an unnecessary monetary gap between two closely related job qualification. If things are the way they should be, suchbquestions like this needn't not be asked. |

I try as much as possible to stay off topics like this " comparing HND and BSC". I have HND in Accountancy and also doubles as Chartered Accountant with years of experience. Im confident no Bsc graduate can intimidate me in my profession because i have consistently proven and assiduously tried to develop myself both mentally and in all spheres. I see HND as a means to an end and does not define my target, ambition and vision. I have on several occasion headed department littered with Bsc and at times 2nd degree. I am the pioneer staff of the company i work with in Nigeria with a company i work with and this happened after having interviewed countless BSc graduates. You can not outgrow your mentality. Succinctly put, If a HND holder strongly limits and believe he/she is inferior to BSc then so be it. Do not generalize the issue of 4 or 5 credits as i have A, b's and never failed a subject in waec. Self believe, continuous development and HND/Bsc would not define me. 5 Likes 3 Shares |

Fynestboi:well, I blame polytechnic students for this. Bring a first class student in any repute University in Nigeria and let's engage ourselves. Then, we can know which is better. Forget why poly was established in the first instance! Let us face the present day reality. |

emperorgoke:But Sir saying that a Nd 2 student in a polytechnic is better than a 400 level student in a university is Blasphemy. more over students don't study pure engineering in a polytechnic,what they study is Engineering Technology. An Engineering graduates from a polytechnic are mostly employed as Engineering Technologist,while that of a university as an Engineer. Please work more on your research and stop confusing the general public on Nairaland. |

hotwax: Your view sound bias and you know that.... One can easily tell that you hold HND... Well Why then do you Ppl Dnt advertise for HND only... Why then do top companies root for uni... You are of a small firm,but bigger firm root for uni,it means you are yet to see What does bigger firms are seeing.... What this means is that a bigger firm cnt require your services only the small as you are not up to their standard... Hnd is sometime cheaper to recruit as they do not attract Mega pay,unlike Bsc who could leave for a bigger shot later... I put it to you that if you were holding uni degree,u probable culd be wrking in a bigger firm to day...you services is required in a smaller firm Cuz they cn afford you.... Only that an average Nigerian will deny all this as u abt to do so... |

I think this should be based on the grade of the HND Certificate.If it's distinction or upper credit,it's ten times better than a third class degree because an egg head remains an egg head even if he attended a university. |

Your comparison is illogical. The question you could have asked should have been "HND or BSc. holders, which is better? OR "lower credit HND and 3rd class BSc Holder, which is better? The purpose served by each of the qualifications varies. We cant say that the holders of one are more intelligent than the holders of the other., it all depends on the individual. |

My question goes for the federal government, why not the FG cancel the HND or they should upgrade it to Bsc so that all this bullshit will stop.. or the polytechnic to stop admitting them after OND/OD |

The main difference between an HND (Higher National Diploma) and a BSc (Bachelor of Science) is the level of study and the focus of the programs. An HND is a vocational qualification that is equivalent to the first two years of a bachelor's degree. It provides practical, hands-on training and is often more focused on specific skills and industry knowledge. On the other hand, a BSc is a full undergraduate degree typically completed over three or four years, depending on the country and the specific program. It offers a broader and more theoretical education in a specific field of study, and often includes a final-year research project or dissertation. In terms of career prospects, a BSc may provide more opportunities for further education and specialization, while an HND is often valued for its practical relevance to specific industries. Let me pull your legs.😃 The first and major difference is the name; HND 👉 Higher National Diploma ;where as BSc 👉 Bachelor of Science. The second difference is the aims and objectives of the programme. HND is basically vocational training with no plans for research and diversities. BSc is universal and more diverse. A BSc holder can go into research and teacher with of well grounded theoritical knowledge. Thirdly, Mode of admission and training. The admission requirements into BSc programme are more stringent than that of HND. There vigorous ways to pass before gaining admission into BSc programme than HND. Fourth, a HND graduate is not qualified to teach a BSc programme without a postgraduate diploma course, however, a BSc holder can be employed as an Assistant lecture to teach HND programme. Since HND programme is not versatile in research, unlike a BSC holder, a HND can not gain direct admission into Masters Degree programme unless through a postgraduate diploma course. Fifth, the caliber of teachers lecturing HND programme and BSc programme are not same. With a masters degree, a lecturer in the HND programme can reach the peak of his career becoming the provost or rector. However, a Master degree teacher in a BSc programme is just an assistant lecturer and may never go pass the level of Lecture 1 or senior lecturer. Teachers of BSc programme are mostly PhD who are Readers, Associate and some full professors |
