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

Rubbish.

OlujobaSamuel:

attention007:
Your details are quite true to some extent. In education everything is about the individual perspective. I know lots of university graduates that cant do anything based on what they read n so goes to the latter. Education is more about research. All i can say is polytechnic is practical based their courses and university is theoretical.

[s]You can't compare the best polytechnic to the worst university even NOUN[/s]...the disparity is way too much#[s]the difference is so very clear#where do you want to start from is it the exposure?[/s]extra curriculum activities thats gonna help mould your life positively?
[s]Lets not even go to opportunities you get as a university student#scholarships and funds#[/s]
the fact remains the fact...most people tha end up going to polytechnic never wanted it in the first place#admission problems and all made them settle for less#It's always good to like what you do and where you are buh never try to be sentimental#

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

mayor10:





and who said it was a technical term?
You reply shows how dilapidated you are wrt your intelligent quotient.
Do they teach dictation in university?
Am only trying to buttress the fact that most polytechnic students aint upto standard when it comes to speaking well and relating with their peers#simple#grow up#face the fact

mayor10:




if you went to a university,you would know it is ramification and not ratification#polytechnic students are so local and most of em have the same mind set#i was once a polytechnic student#yabatech to be precise#now in unilag studying the same course and i can tell you the difference is so very clear.
