Is It Right To Judge A Graduate By The Higher Institution He Or She Attended? by Vinnie2000(m): 6:36am On Aug 12, 2023
A Neighbour of Mine went to Check his Daughter's WAEC Result yesterday.๐Ÿ™‚

He saw some Teenagers filling School of Choice for Post UME.
Uniben, NDU, Delsu, Auchi Polytechnic, Etc.

Someone was filling in a Polytechnic in Delta State (NAME WITHHELD) and he said TUFIAKWA,
He can Never allow his Daughter attend that School.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™‚

That The School is Filled with Yahoo Boys and Academically Weak Lecturers who are Easily bought over! ๐Ÿคจ

That Anytime He sees any of their Graduates, he Automatically Dismisses the Person.๐Ÿ˜ฎ

That If he has a Company, he CANNOT Employ any of their Graduates!. shocked ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

But Question is: IS IT RIGHT TO JUDGE GRADUATES BY THEIR HIGHER INSTITUTION ATTENDED?

It's after the school they'll understand that the epileptic system in Nigeria doesn't really give a flying f about the school you attended.

It is not right but also not completely wrong. It's something we all do, sometimes subconsciously.
Just like you confidently mentioned Uniben, NDU, Auchi poly etc, but withheld the name of the school in question. If it was a school like UI or Unilag would you have withheld the name?
And like the man said, if you had a company and two applicants present themselves for interview, let's say one was from Harvard and the other from Uniben, without further info which one would you naturally lean towards even before meeting the applicants? Or you were to have a major operation and you had the option of choosing between a Johns Hopkins hospital trained doctor, or a Delta state University teaching hospital trained doctor, which would you naturally want to go for?

We all pretend that these things don't matter, but the fact is that your background on paper may even be the only thing that will decide whether you even get further opportunity for your so called practical skills to be seen or not.

And what makes you think that those who went to the better institutions do not also have practical skills and experience in addition to their paper qualifications?

Nobody will employ you if the post you're seeking is contended with someone from Harvard with a third class while you graduated with first class.

There are companies who only employ people from the top 5 private Uni and the top 10 federal ones. I witnessed an executive of a big multinational company justifying it.

University or Higher Institution education is NEVER a waste, bro.๐Ÿคจ๐Ÿ˜’

Even though most Graduates have NOT Gotten anything Tangible with the Acquired Knowledge,

I used to feel that those organizations were discriminating but they may be right even if I wasn't privileged to attend any of those universities.
I issued a query to a team member recently and she couldn't write her response in proper tenses in a mail.
I told her to rewrite again like a graduate but still the same result.
Eventually she submitted her appraisal form and I saw the institution she finished from and I wasn't surprised.

That is not true. Some schools are favoured over others. Access Bank, I don't know about now, WOULD never allow graduates from most state universities to write her aptitude test. I think only Gombe State University and LASU graduates were allowed then. It is why for some courses, especially Law, if it is not from a federal university or state university like LASU/RSU or private uni like ABUAD, the person better re-write JAMB again.

All universities are not equal. Some are more equal than others.

I don't know of other companies sha, but I seriously doubt McKinsey Nigeria would employ a business analyst from a state university. If such happens, then such a candidate must be extremely STELLAR. CGPA 5.0, 10 awards from God knows where, 5 solid extra-mural activities with global prominence etc. shocked grin

he is right to some points, not only in nigeria, but everywhere, when you have candidates of equal abilities, things like this might be the deciding factor.
It's only wrong if considering big name comes first before ability.

Yes, to a large extent based on experience. You see graduates of BSU, KWASU, EBSU, KSU, Tafawa Balewa, TSU etc, standard secondary school is far better.

The only entry level job that pays millions exists in the oil and gas industry. Access Bank pays entry staff very well by Nigerian standards. Before Covid, it was 250K per month. It should be over 300K now.
