There has been various issues and controversies on the issue of
HND-B.Sc. dichotomy. Most people often look down on polytechnic students
with the orientation that studying in a polytechnic is a low-class
compared to studying in a university. Even some students of these
polytechnics are equally guilty of this.
I have come across people who obtain UTME forms, fill them and at the
end of the day attempt the post utme of the universities they chose
neglecting the polytechnics and this has kept millions of aspirants
sitting at home for years without admission into any tertiary
institution.
While some people are at home repeating UTME with the saying " over my
dead body will I go to a polytechnic " their mates have already gotten
their ND certificates. Do you think the level will still be the same?
Lack of information and proper orientation have been the major problem
of students aspiring to study in tertiary institution in Nigeria. Most
people are not ready to go extra mile to source information but dwell on
the little they hear which are often not authentic.
Being a student of a polytechnic does not mean you will stop at ND level
or HND level, there is room to go further and secure your masters
degree even before a university student.
