DrFunmi:

Are you sure you aren't an HND holder fronting as a BSc holder?

DrFunmi:

You got it all wrong. I didn't put this up to trigger argument. I just wanted to state some obvious hard truth. I wish both BSc and HND holders the best of 2015.

Modified: 1 forgot to add this point:

9 Worth of certificate - the BSc certificate is more valuable than the HND certificate. An HND holder requires a PGD to further his Postgraduate studies even if the holder has a distinction. On the other hand, a BSc holder can directly enrol for MSc or PhD without any hurdle. HND is equivalent to an associate degree in the USA and will require additional courses to be accepted in foreign institution. A BSc holder in Nigeria faces no such barrier.

LARRYDKING:


Likewise brilliant students abound in the polys, just that many arn't lucky enough like u and me.

kayusbrown:


On the worth of certificate, PGD is required for further studies only in Nigeria. The admission of HND holders into Postgraduate Diploma programme while at the same time maintaining that HND is not equivalent to a bachelor's degree further exposes the hypocrisy of our educational policy. As for the USA, your assertion exposes you as ignorant of the realities like someone earlier opined. All academic qualifications obtained outside the US must pass through an evaluation process by a recognized credentials evaluation agency before they become tenable for postgraduate studies in the United States. One of such credentials evaluation agency is World Educational Services (www.wes.org). All those who I know have had their HND evaluated by WES were found eligible for direct admission to master's degree programs because their HND was found equivalent to bachelor's degree. The mistake most prospective students make when sending their HND for evaluation is sending the HND transcript alone. The HND qualification is based on the ND (a prerequisite) so both the ND and HND are evaluated together to determine the academic worth of the HND holder. It is the ND alone that is equivalent to Associate Degree in the US or BTEC-HND in the UK. So for those who are well-informed, they know the discrimination is only entrenched here.

Another thread that will trigger violence & enmity between both parties

OP, why not try making efforts on how to influence neighbours, friends, families & the less privileged ones with your Bsc rather than making other ppl feel less of themselves ?. Some people are seated in their offices working tiredlessly and making cool cash, you dey give urself unnecessary worry over Bsc superiority & Bsc/HND juxtaposition when there are thousands of hopeless & frustrated qualified graduates out there roaming the streets. (Well sha, you go soon enter labour market you go see say e no easy for anybody, be ye Bsc/HND)

Remember the worship & unnecessary hype of your Bsc is the beginning of joblessness

You get time sha

Deapexboy:

uv said it all.
@OP, a certificate can jumpstart your life and the pursuit of goodliving, but thats all, the rest is up to you. someone rightly said " tertiary institutions are holding tanks for those who are yet to decide what to do with their lifes".

Tunagee:


Bros, this is a million dollar comment. leave that guy with his stupid post

zebra:
Jelani Aliyu of General Motors USA attended a polytechnic in Nigeria and graduated with ND after turning down admission to study Architecture in a university. Nigerian polytechnics train people to be technically sound.

Mixty:

Stop consoling yourself. In your hearts of heart, you know that BSc is better. For every one successful HND holder, there are 1000+ successful BSc holders.

PAnaceA7:

True

zebra:
it should be about what u can do and not the paper qualification. The polytechnics train people to use their brains and hands to work. Why is it that uni graduates are always scared of their polytechnic counterparts in the same field if i may ask? I've witnessed this on several occasions. Why is it that poly graduates do better in certification exams if they were not well taught or trained? I think the uni education in Nigeria is just been over hyped by people who only have uni experience and have had nothing to do in the polytechnic before. Mind u I have passed thru both. Person wey say na him mama soup sweet pass neva taste anoda person mama own be dat.

oluagness:


yeah, you may be the brain behind your organization, your HND is still a barrier. like someone earlier said, " a bsc on level 8 is a boss to an HND in level 14". so embarrassing. the polytechnic system should be a 3years program and be treated like Nce or completely eradicated.
