Yes, I agree with you, just give the general experience of the interview without specifying the questions asked |

sar72: I think the professors or lecturers generally might be the problem. It's 2022 and not 1989... I was shocked when I got asked Navier Stokes. I'm in the energy sector and I'm talking about energy issues but you want to ask Fluid Mechanics and Dynamics. This has to be my worst interview experience ever��� 1 Like |

Good morning all, I did my interview in Ibadan on the 2nd of June. I was in the Engineering group before 3 professors. Firstly I was told to introduce myself after which they asked for my O levels, I saw them input my grades in Math, English, Physic, Chemistry and TD into their system. They asked for my Bsc, MSc and Certifications. My interviewers didn't seem to know much about Mechanical Engineering and/or my research area in particular they where more Petroleum inclined. They were critical about having very recent reference citing and listing, asked about my decision to go abroad when I could do the Phd in Nigeria. It was quite seamless for me. Hoping for the best. *Note, we are all competing with people from out various states. If you come from a very competitive state, the competition would be very stiff. Just FYI. |

victor5996:Although I am an M.sc applicant but this is my advice to the Ph.D applicants, don't allow any professor or lecturer to mislead u from your research proposal. He is an expert in his field and so do u, this people might deliberately lead you away from ur work just to c how smart u are, we c this behavior during departmental seminars and research proposal even when the Lecturers present are in the same department as u, moreless of a professor who is totally outside your field what do u expect. So when they mislead u away from ur work just politely bring them back to the right track. Wishing us best of luck all. 2 Likes |

The old professor is actually right for debunking your research proposal. Even with a nuclear waste management proposal, how does it relate to the oil and gas sector. There is no radioactive activity in the oil and gas sector in Nigeria. Even if you want to use a radioactive stuff, who would fund it? I am sorry to say but you didn't choose a great research topic for ptdf. As old as the professor maybe, I totally agree with him. A topic in petrophysics would have been better than a nuclear topic. Nuclear in oil & gas. Do you know how regulated nuclear activity in Nigeria? I had a similar experience with an interviewer in 2019, he told me that a gas condensate is for undergraduate research. I had to add a modern technology stuff to it before he could believe me. I didn't get the scholarship. The purpose of the interview is to know who is actually interested in studying in his/her respective field relating to oil and gas in Nigeria. Nuclear is irrelevant in Nigeria. Don't blame the interviewer. mrphysics: |

Jidekelechi: Please do you know if the interview will continue in Ibadan as I am planning to have mine there since the virtual which I registered for has been very unreliable and I couldn't have the interview since last week Saturday. |

Fremaxx the Russian guy. I know say na Russia influence you to give ptdf the "Nuclear" topic that year . And they knew you will be very good in the field because u studied in Russia, yet they couldn't give you the scholarship. To me, I think Nigeria has not gotten to the nuclear space yet that's why they keep rejecting such topics. I remembered you told me you and the interviewer dragged it to the core. You see ptdf ehn, they are very unpredictable. Until results are out before one can really know what they want. Fremaxx: |

Well, the professor I met during my interview is very friendly and have pool of knowledge in the area of my proposal. In fact, the other industry base personnel is more friendly than the professor. We chatted deeply on my proposal which has to do with the development of hybrid intelligent model for monitoring oil and gas pipeline. They graded all my credentials, I wish I could see my score then. However, we expect a favourable output at the end. After everything, the woman told me that I'm unimaginable, she then asked, do you know the meaning of unimaginable? I replied no ma'am. She said that means " when you meet someone and expect he cannot perform up to an average but by interacting with him you find out that he perform even above excellent". I then smiled and say thank you. And that marked the end of my interview. 3 Likes |

Fremaxx:You mustn't comment or respond. First you don't know what my topic is about or the proposal. Secondly, PTDF doesn't fund or support only oil and gas topics. Lastly, you should know that oil exploration releases radioactive elements from the soil and also that some radioactive elements are used in drilling and contaminate the environment. A simple google search should show you that the communities in Delta States close to oil fields are all contaminated. 1 Like |

Minnieny:There are statements we shouldn't be making. During my studies, I took a large course on thermohydraulics that I could come up and defend it in the interview knowing Nigerian is not yet very advanced in such topics. PTDF is all about getting a topic, linking it to the oil and gas and defending it. But you defending it depends on the people you are presenting to. If they are clueless or have a closed mind that they can only listen to one topic, then irrespective of your knowledge or effort, it will just be a waste. 2 Likes |

Any advice on what we virtual people that were not able to do the interview should do? |

Hi guys. I was earlier slated for interview on June 3rd, but the link came with June 2nd while portal says June 10th. I've had my interview already yesterday but now I received 2 invites again with different times for Monday June 06. Do I need to attend again? Hope if I don't attend they won't mark it as being absent from the interview? |
Re: Apply For 2022/2023 PTDF Overseas Postgraduate Scholarship Scheme by Dayetex: 11:38am On Jun 03, 2022 |
I think you have done it and that is fine. My concern is I received invite for 2nd June but no link and Portal says 10th June. I just got a link now but no date attached. Should I wait till the 10th of June on the portal? Since it came after the date of the email and no date on the link sent. Adazeal: |

Re: Apply For 2022/2023 PTDF Overseas Postgraduate Scholarship Scheme by Adazeal: 12:20pm On Jun 03, 2022 |
Dayetex: No, you don't have to wait till 10th June as it's very risky since that day I believe is the last day of the interview. Start using the link today from 5pm and see if you'd be attended to since it came with no date. |

Will i be attended to if i was scheduled for Virtual on Monday but no one interviewed me? Is anyone scheduled for Saturday? |

The tech guys handling this virtual meeting links are really not getting things rightly done. Why creating unnecessary doubts and confusion to scholars My take.. since they already sent the link, just join in early enough with respect to the time alloted to the link.. Dayetex: |
