@all. Apply to top schools in UK or US for your MSc. Don't b lazy. Admission is pretty fast in some of dis top schools in d UK.

Apart from d competitive edge in d UK, u can get job opportunities too all over d world. e.g if u are a graduate in some engineering discipline in top schools in UK, u can get work visa in Australia scheme.

If your university is in d top 200 in d world, u are eligible to go to Holland to go to look for or work there about a year. If you get a high skilled job, u could b retained.

Further more, you can easily get full PhD scholarships in Asia and Middle east schools.

@all. try to come back home after your studies and give back to Nigeria. Help the poor/needy with your finance. Or help give advice or teach selflessly what u have learnt while looking for job. The sustainability of this scholarship depends on your output.

After this, if u see no breakthrough, then u can execute your plan B. Ensure you graduate with at least Merit in your institution. Don't disgrace Nigeria.

The results is ready however it would be officially made public next week. They are still working on some likely local institutions that could accommodate the number of local scholars appointed for their MSc/PhD.

Well said, albeit sententiously. I believe those who disgrace Nigeria are the backdoor scholars. And we may have some this year too. I hope they are reading this thread.

Virtuoso89:
As far as the verbal questions leaking - I seriously doubt it considering this is the first ever time any PTDF exams was of this arrangement.

The more technical aspect did not even leak per se. Yes, they got some questions for some disciplines from a particular website but this is not a new development. Dangote, Halliburton and DPR got some questions from that same website.

The only real snag if there is any, is if PTDF would be fair in the process and make the raw scores count more without the needless permuations they claim to make placing scores hand-in-hand with LGAs.

Also, we beseech them not to give all the OSS slots to cronies of the members of the National Assembly or staff of the DPR (and other Ministry of Petroleum Resources affiliates) whilst relegating people who merited it to the LSS positions.

I have confidence in PTDF grin

God bless us.

That should nt even be ur major concern o... the longer it takes to contact successful peeps; more plus and minus takes place lipsrsealed there is much more room for those equations lipsrsealed
NairaSand:


This right here is why I wholeheartedly hate this disgusting country.

A CBT Test was written over 3 weekends ago and there's no result in sight.

The "they usually release the MSC and PHD list together" line is totally retardedd too.

A lot of folks have their heart set on this thing. Resumption is like some days away for some school yet.

Dear PTDF,

If you're going to do scholarship, please do. Don't come and be unfortunate. Conduct future tests and interviews in good time so that we the not so lucky ones can find our level.....not leaving us stranded at the last minute.

Uni Leeds is a good school...
DreManuel:


Even University of Leeds hands out admit in 3 days. But the question is, why would I get a PTDF Scholarship and now go to an "ordinary" school?

It only takes one person to announce that he/she received a text/mail..

Denial sets in with lots of folks criticizing,hoping its false because they didnt get any message.

more pple confirm its authentic..

Reality sets in.....and gradually the thread goes quiet..

Till sometime next year..

Guys take it easy.....try and be calm....i wish us all d best!

No doubt. Should even be in top 100 globally but still hands out admit in a week just as Coventry that's not even in top 500. But in my humble opinion, any potential PTDF scholar who doesn't have an admission by now is not fit for the scholarship.

Yeah sir, your commando tone, though.

In case you don't know, you should consider area of specialisation in your choice of schools. Some schools have specialisation in geosciences only, some in specific engineering courses, some in commerce courses, some in classic art and languages. Take for example, Robert Gordon is best specialised in drilling course but is low rated university. Almost all drilling companies train their staffs in Robert Gordon university on their drilling lab for modal test.
