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.

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.
