Reasons Why BSC Is Better Than HND by Nobody: 4:11pm On Aug 28, 2020
Reasons why BSc is better than HND
Below are reasons BSc is better than HND;


1. Quality of Lecturers
The quality and expertise of lecturers in the university cannot just be compared with that of polytechnic.



In the university, most lecturers are professors and PhD holders with several years of teaching experience.


If you don’t have MSc, you are not qualified to teach in the university. And most Masters degree holders are ordinary assistant lecturers.

But in polytechnic, it is difficult to find a lecturer who is a PhD holder, and there is no Professors except visiting professors from the universities.

Most lecturers in polytechnic are mere BSc holders who just graduated from the university. Even Corps members (otondo) are posted to lecture in some polytechnics.

2. Admission Requirement
The requirement for admission into the university is more strict and rigid compare to that of polytechnics.


The JAMB cut off for entrance into universities is high to compare that of Polytechnic.

This means, most intelligent students with high marks make it to the university, while leftovers with extremely low marks resort to polytechnic.

3. Funding From Government
The public universities in Nigeria are much more funded by government than polytechnics. Funding is one of the ways to determine the quality of a school.

Obviously, the government and the media pay more attention to ASUU demand than ASUP. Any time ASUP is on strike, no one will notice. But if ASUU goes on strike, it will be a national talk, and Presidency will be restless.

That is to show you that university is more funded because university graduates are much well trained than polytechnics graduates.

4. Research Work
Universities are the foundation and pillars of researches which is the root of progress in any institution. Although, the quality of research work in the Nigerian universities can be low, but it is still far better than that of polytechnics.

5. Conducive and large campus environment
The size of an institution and infrastructures goes a long way in telling about the quality of such institution. Take UNIZIK as an example, the institution has a very wide space with about seven different Banks branches located within the Institution. Aside that, there are several other institutions which are inside the university and numerous affiliated institutions.

6. Quality of students
There is no doubt that most brilliant students are found in the university.

But in polytechnics, most of what you will see are students rejected by universities because of their low scores in UTME.

Most of polytechnic students specialize in sorting lecturers to pass exams. Just only few polytechnic students are young and smart (no hate).

7. Scholarships Preference
When it comes to scholarship, reputable bodies hardly notice polytechnic students.

Only university undergraduates or graduates would have the opportunity to apply for such scholarships. This is another form of discrimination which we noticed.

8. Job opportunities
Most employers in Nigeria prefer BSc to HND holders. HND holders are most times seen as middle level manpower, although that was the initial purpose for establishing polytechnics.

9. Programme and Degrees
The highest degree a polytechnic can award is HND, but the universities can award BSc, PGD, MSc, PhD, and so on.

Also, polytechnics are not allowed to run some programmes such as; Medicine and Surgery, Radiography, Pharmacy, Nursing Law and many more.

10. Self Esteem
An average BSc holder have more confidence and self-belief than a HND holder. HND holders have to face stiff discrimination in the labour market, thus having a negative impact on their self esteem.

This is Bullshit!

The certificate you have shouldn't matter, you should get paid for the quality and/or quantity of your work.

Sadly, realities in Nigeria is different and disheartening.

If you are jambite reading this, do your best to go to a university to avoid this kind of discrimination and dichotomy.

I read from the news that Ilaropoly made a mechanical ventilator. No university in Nigeria contributed as such towards the covid19 pandemic. I am not here to fight which is better, but just to let you know that your comparison is borne out crooked and contentious mentality of an average Nigerian. Polytechnics in Britain where it all originated from have been renamed into universities.
More so, Nigeria did not implement the system how it was effected in UK.

OP its not called Bsc, it's Degree, and am sure you went to the university, next time, say first degree, undergraduate degree, or say bachelor's degree, or if that's too much for you to say, say degree! Simple! Bsc is Bachelor of Sciences, and its an honour in the university, as we have bachelor of Arts. Very soon you may call Olvl art class, since you call degree Bsc.

Sorry your response came late,
Python is not hard if you understand other languages, let just compare Python with PHP, Python uses indentation why PHP uses curley brace or bracket.
I use DJANGO and Tkinter both are Python frame work. You can learn data science.

Re: Reasons Why BSC Is Better Than HND by Proffwhyhurry12(m): 6:56am On Aug 29, 2020
If you want to know how useless HND is just apply to university as lecturer even after your PhD



Before you throw jab, i attended both Polytechnic and university. Though ND and run away to university, it is incomparable incase you care to listen, go back to university for another 3 years as direct entry student and get Bsc or Btech, so as to save yourself from unnecessary stress.

U said PhD holder ...I did Civil Engineering and 95% of my lecturer are Phd holder in a polytechnic ..please stop posting thrash from your point of view..

Both are created for different purpose is enough point but one is not superior to each other because a polytechnic student as been taught to address issues logically and realistic reason you need them more on field..

A university student will reason theoretically and provide solution with proof and send this to the polytechnic graduate which in turns take this information and put it to work.

Please don't look down on any degree because now its what you can do and no job out there self for everyone..

Reason u see everyone learning tailoring dragging space with the people we called Artisan years ago to become like them and have steady income and become your own bozz

It is wrong to say polytechnics are practical base only since most of them offers social science courses. A universities workshops or laboratories are more standard than the ones of polytechnics. The way we have some local or substandard labs in universities so they are also in polytechnics. I don't really think a HND engineering graduate does more standard practicals than a B.Eng grad or a hnd marketing graduate study far than a bsc marketing .. They really cant be of the same level.

Even though I am a B.Sc holder, I must disagree with you!!!

You have to be diligent, disciplined and hard-working to be able to genuinely make good grades in the Nigerian University with the exception of private universities

It's not because of what you are taught cause most times you have to read up on your own!!!

The truth is that polytechnics are more practical oriented which should be the center of education!!!
