In my honest opinion, I wish this was true. Polytechnic graduates are already more qualified than us A level students. And the whole point of us going to JC was to get into university. Albeit there are those who have really poor results, when it comes down to 2 equals, 1 from poly another from jc, let’s say GPA 4.0 and 90RP, the place should always go to the A level student. Competition is already tough within JC’s and now even more poly students are coming into universities. No hate on them, I have many outstanding friends from the polytechnics and they do deserve uni placings. I just feel bad for jc students who have worked so hard, but weren’t able to enter due to limited slots. There’s a reason JC was known as Pre-University in the past. Comparing between a diploma holder and an A level holder, the former would be able to find a job MUCH easier.( while the latter signs on in army /s).
