"Polytechnic graduates do more practicals while in school, so they have better experience than graduates from universities. It is unfair to subject them to a one-year mandatory training when BSc. holders are not required to do the same," he said.

This sentiment is echoed by industry experts, who believe that the current system creates an uneven playing field for polytechnic graduates.
