Haba bros!!! So an official ceremony to celebrate annual scholarships of hundreds of students is going to help develop the country in what way?
When ptdf started sending students abroad ptdf collects CV of its scholars esp those that came home with outstanding results for offers in ministry of Petroleum and NNPC. But as time passed they became overwhelmed by the number of scholars, most do not return immediately after d scholarship, it was not until 2011 when UK placed a ban on obtaining residents visa after schooling that most students had to come home at d expiration of their study visa that most scholars even came back to nigeria.
It's like asking d govt to give u a job after NYSC, we all know very well that in the past our parents got job offers and even beetle cars upon completion of NYSC, but graduates are everywhere now and there aren't slots for these thousands of graduates.
Are u now saying that ptdf shouldn't sponsor more candidates abroad just because they cannot afford to integrate them back into the oil & gas sector? Like an Uhrobo woman once told me, "we won't throw away the bathing water with the baby".

Ptdf have their hands full already as it is. Let us not forget that this local & overseas scholarship is just one of their Mandates in manpower development for d oil & gas sector.
They are also into training artisans, building & providing equipment forbinstitutions of learning that teach oil & gas courses, etc

Let us go back and read the mandate of ptdf, manpower training for oil and gas sector, they are under no obligation to give us jobs or celebrate us after graduation.

They state the need for us to come back to Nigeria after study because we were trained by the govt, hence there is a need to come back and give to our country that sponsored us. this is not unique to Nigeria.

My little 2 cents Sha oh

Blessingkm:

njelrapheal:

yakbauer:
Truth is I expected China to take a lot more than just 47 candidates, abi the list is coming in batches? anyways God knows best, congrats to those who got the mails

bb12008:
Hi, is there anyone who applied for MSc Computer Technology in CUST in China who had been called and are u above 35. Only God knows how ptdf are selecting candidates because I am very sure that I had what it takes to be selected but yet to receive mail from ptdf.

efomzy:

First Choice....My SOP was strictly on my first choice...China

DMainMan:


Congrats. About 47 applicants have been mailed for China. It remains France

Xkanta:
And you didn't see the first page is not complete?

Xkanta:

Total marks is 100 sir

HIlord:


Really? @ having no SOP.

I don't think many of us have the criteria clearly defined yet. Prior to your statement, the threads presumed a good SOP was a major criteria for being shortlisted. Hmmn, you're introducing factor rating method and 'federal character.' Thanks for clearing the air a bit.

Is it safe to assume it's also a raffle draw?

I am one of the PTDF Scholars in France, studying in one of the Grande ecoles . From my experience from the PTDF Scholarship. The fact that PTDF has recommended you implied that you have gotten the scholarship.

I will however clarified something for you people, it was not as if DAAD will be the one funding your scholarship, it is still the PTDF funding the scholarship, they are just trying to harmonise the scholarship for greater efficiency and also to reduce cost, without compromising on quality.

I was supposed to go to Germany, I missed out when we were asked to upload the document on DAAD website, because it was not properly coordinated during our own time, even though I got admission to TU Berlin. DAAD could not do anything again regarding my visa, that was the reason why I came to France in order not to waste another year.

So congratulation to all the shortlisted, if you are not been follow from the village, those that got the e mail are the successful one from the Germany point of view.

Those coming to France , I think will also be updated.


All the best



Hopefully, thos

Who else can not log in to fgc portal?

Blessingkm:
What about d France and China nominee?do u have an idea on wen dey will be contacted?

Saryea83:
There is no doubt that those sent mail recently for DAAD update are not successful. The point is this, some earlier got the mail from DAAD before now for the update with reference to same PTDF Application.

From my findings so far, these guys that got the earlier mail have National or Int'l awards and might have done well during the interview. Does it not imply that PTDF earlier nominated them before now? If they responded to that mail and did the needful, how will sending another mail for update be necesaary again? There are so many things that needed to be cleared!

Our assumptions won't be 100% correct! Anyways, the list will saved us from all these assumptions very soon.

Watching in 5D!!

Even if we don't get the offer, life still continues!! Congrats to those who got the recent mail!!
