About the programme
A polytechnic HND admission interview checks whether you have the academic foundation and practical awareness to progress in your chosen discipline. The panel may ask about previous study, projects or workplace exposure, technical concepts and how the programme supports your next career step.
How to prepare
- Review the main concepts and practical methods from your previous diploma discipline.
- Prepare one project or industrial experience that shows exactly what you did and learnt.
- Explain why this HND specialisation fits your career direction.
- Identify a weak result or skill honestly and describe a concrete improvement plan.
- Check the polytechnic's official site for current admission documents and interview instructions.
Common mistakes
- Claiming full credit for a team project without separating your contribution.
- Memorising technical definitions but failing to connect them to practical work.
- Avoiding questions about weak results instead of showing what you learnt.
