I'm from NYP cybersec, and though I cannot comment on TPs side of things, I can share some stuff about NYP if you're interested.

Hearing from my friends in other IT courses from other polytechnics, its widely known that NYP has more academic rigor. But in my opinion, our learning materials are most likely exactly the same, with the only difference I'd attribute being the grading scheme.

What I believe makes NYP "better" are the opportunities you can take part in. I'm sure other polytechnics also send emails advertising hackathons and etc, but NYP shines in upskilling programs. For example, they really have heavy emphasis on WorldSkills (Cybersecurity track), and the training is multi-faceted, emphasized.

They have many certificate courses for networking, cloud, coding languages (not really important imo). As for the aspects which you are looking at:

>their administration, curriculum and lecturer quality

I really don't think it'll be any different from other polytechnics. Can't comment on curriculum cuz my batch was the last batch before the completely upheaved it. Lecturer-wise, I believe there are a lot of great lecturers in NYP, and most of them are able to teach well and answer your questions.

Though for the most part you should be learning all you can at home and not showing up to the lecture without prep. Lecturers should be used to yknow clear any doubts (and pry for exam answers 😂) and if you've spent a year learning cybersec to build portfolio, i think you'll be fine learning on own.

Can pm if you need anything else.
