A multistage sampling technique was adopted in the selection of the respondents, the first stage; a purposive sampling technique was employed in the selection of all the three federal Universities, Secondly, the stratified sampling method was also adopted for sampling faculties in these four sampled Universities. Thirdly, proportionate sampling technique was adopted for the selection of a total of 1,275 respondents out of 8,291. A 22 items three point-Likert scale researchers’ designed questionnaire entitled “Postgraduate students Assessment on the Diploma Disease Forty-two years Questionnaire ” with psychometric properties of 0.66 was used for eliciting the needed data from the respondents. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics of a pie chart, frequency counts, and percentage. The findings revealed that after 42 years of Dore’s discovery, diploma disease is still on in the Nigerian education system, it causes, consequences and ways of combating it which Dore advocated were all in consonance with Dores’ analysis. Based on these, therefore, it was recommended among others that, there is a need for the government and private employers to lay more emphasis on capabilities, skills, and ability of job seekers to applied learned knowledge into practice when recruiting for employment.en_US
