Dis are the factors that makes Universities rated than Polytechnics;

6. ACADEMIC STAFFS: Least you can see in Universities as a lecturer is a Doctor (Ph .D). A masters holding can only be of an assistant. Most Seniors lecturers are Professors. While the highest you can get in a polytechnics is a Doctor ( Rector), others are MSc, B. sc or HND holder
Are you a university graduate?

Dis are the factors that makes Universities rated than Polytechnics;

1. CURRICULUM: University education in Nigeria, like in other developing countries, is to produce graduates grounded in generic skill and, quality education for the nation's economic development. University curriculum therefore, reflect research about what works, as opposed to what is popular today or tomorrow. This
implies that the curriculum content enable students to attain the
society's expectations, and perhaps most importantly, their needs.


2. STRUCTURES: Most Nigerian Universities have outstanding structures and academic environment more than that of Polytechnic. Most of Polytechnics structures are not up to standard, even most of the buildings in some polytechnics are of old structures.


3. COURSES: Universities run more courses than Polytechnics. Most top professional courses are studied at university level e.g Medicine, Law, Architecture, etc. Though we have Legal studies in replacement of law, SLT in replacement of medicine in Polytechnics, and Architect. But are not well recognise.


4. MODE OF DRESSING: Corporate dressing can be seen in most Nigerian Universities, especially the so called private Universities. Also most of courses run by university has there code of dressing e.g Medicine, Engineering, and Law.


5. ACADEMIC PERFORMERS: Most outstanding students can be seen at Universities, compared to Polytechnics. Most of the Universities are more strict. You hardly bribe lecturers cause many are Professors so, is what u write that you get in most cases. Unlike polytechnics where you easy bribe lecturers to have distinction or upper credit.


6. ACADEMIC STAFFS: Least you can see in Universities as a lecturer is a Doctor (Ph .D). A masters holding can only be of an assistant. Most Seniors lecturers are Professors. While the highest you can get in a polytechnics is a Doctor ( Rector), others are MSc, B. sc or HND holder




With all you listed above, none of the so called Nigeria universities made it in the world best 1000 unis. Go get a life Mr superior.

When will dis discrimination end? Uni or poly, u're judged by wat u carry upstairs. the labour market doesn't give a shit.

Lol. 9ja is a very funny place. Both have different remits. Polytechnics were intended to produce technically trained staff for 9ja industry and mid level personnel. University to produce more academic and professional cadre workforce.

But polys now churn out gazillion ONDs in non-technical art courses. Universities not doing much better.

You now have students just studying whatever, wherever because that was what they got admitted to. shocked

I hate waisting my mb reading trash... come to my school n see the difference between Poly n Uni (Federal Poly Idah, Kogi State). To me the major dif is in the name not any other tin and may be practicals conducted by d poly students. Some of this uni students may nt be able to finish poly programme until the maximum of 4yr slated for the progrm wul xpire... and they may end up getn certificate of attendance... because there were nt able achieve any tin b4 the expiration of their studentship

I won't blame the op, but the mod that pushed it to fp. if we are to check, the op is still an undergraduate, so he knows not what is waiting for him in the world. hope that your bsc is from a known school because someone out there will dump you due to the fact that you are not a product of one of the ivy league schools, and I know you tried securing admission into them but your inability to gain admission lead to the not recognized discipline of yours in a non-recognized university.

Kai! This guy is about to start another e-war. Why do we have to go through this debate again, huh?
Wait till tosyn2much comes to tear you to shreds and also lecture you on how he's a product of a Polytechnic and by right, better than you.

Sentiments apart, we all know Universities are by far better than Polytechnics, no doubt. And most Polytechnic students (if not all) sought for admission into the University but had to make do with the Polytechnic when their admissions were denied.
BUT this DOES NOT in any way imply or indicate that all University graduates are better than Polytechnic graduates - that University is better than Polytechnic doesn't mean University graduates are necessarily better than their Polytechnic counterparts.
It is all about the individual and not the institution of learning. It is solely not about the school but rather about the schooled.


See u, Op is a polytechnic graduate.
Truth 2 be told, does are the facts.
Our polytechnics needs 2 be reformed.

Whether poly or university, they all end up in the same labour market searching for jobs because the whole time they had been in school they were taught nothing usable or worthy for man kind consumption.

The truth is that nobody would pick a polytechnic over a university if given the opportunity, na just condition make crayfish bend.

The truth is it should not matter. It is only in a dilapidated country like Nigeria that it does. Upon all the hype both institutions churn out half baked graduates on a regular basis and at an alarming rate.

Well,i had both hnd n bsc . There's a difference between the two. my observations are university tells you WHY, Polytechnic tells you HOW.-university is far tougher,university curriculum is wider,university boasts of best brain(lecturers n students),better learning environment etc.

are you serious, the last I checked, the word isn't a technical term, I fear for your ND,HND &BSc certification if you start learning dictation at university level.
to the one also saying all "ratification", abeg, na "ramifications", there is also another citing fayose, do you know Dino is a product of one of the most prestigious university in Nigeria?
I don't like waking up to all this nonsense abeg, it's too early to have this thrash on fp

I went to the best of both: ND in The Federal Poly, Ilaro and B.Sc in University of Ibadan....so I can authoritatively say UNIVERSITY EDUCATION IS A MILLION TIMES BETTER THAN POLYTECHNIC EDUCATION. The idea of polytechnic students being more practical oriented was debunked when I got to UI. Not a basis for quarrels though....my ND cert is what paved the way to me working in a multi national.

MODIFIED: at the end of the day, what matters is what you have upstairs....
have you been to Auchi poly?
