Thank you very much. I really appreciate.

Please has anyone been able to do the virtual interview?

I have multiple dates and time

First i was scheduled for today 3:30pm and 6:15pm. I logged into the Microsoft team app by 3:00pm and waited till 4:30pm. It was only showing when meeting starts, we'll let people know you are waiting in the lobby.
I didn't hear any sound nor see picture of even an ant on my screen so i log out by 4:50pm.

The second time was 6:15pm - 6:25pm. I have been in the Microsoft team app since 6:00pm - 7:00pm. The experience is the same.

The last date is 31/05/2022 by 4:00pm - 4:10pm. I am also waiting for this day to come.

Has anyone been able to do his/her interview virtually?


What is the way forward??

What is the way forward??

Just did my interview today in Ibadan, Engineering field Msc. My observation is that the marking scheme has an objective part and a subjective part.

OBJECTIVE PART
1. O Level result. There are points for the different O Level grades. Only the best five subjects are picked. I did science in O Level but commerce was one of the subject I wrote and I got A3. To my greatest surprise they picked the commerce and left the Physics cos I had C4. So I think they pick your best 5 grades irrespective of whether it is relevant to your field or not.

2. First degree institution: I strongly suspect they have points for different class of institutions. When I gave them my degree certificate, the first question the leader of my panel asked was which school and when he was told the school he entered something into his computer like he was doing when assessing my O Level, before asking which grade.

3. First degree grade.

4. Professional body membership: I also strongly suspect the number of professional bodies you belong to also matters. I have NSE and COREN and when I handed it to them they thought it was just one but when they realised it was two certificates I gave them the guy exclaimed "oh it's two" laying emphasis on the "two", and the leader appeared to have changed the initial score he gave me. I don't know about professional certification cos I was not asked for it.

SUBJECTIVE PART
1. Dressing: they assess your dressing. Not too good comments where made about my dressing and strongly suspect they scored me low (please nobody should ask me what the comments were). My advise is dress formal as much as possible. Knot tie and wear suit if possible you can never be wrong if you do that

2. SOP: You are assessed based on how they feel you have expressed yourself when you are asked questions about your SOP. I was knocked off balance when I was asked that based on my work experience, what topic do I plan to research on for my Msc and what problem is it going to solve, in my mind I was like "on top masters wey I neva start !". I just formulated something sha and I can't tell how convinced they were. Let's note that assessment style of SOP will differ according to the panelist that is why it is on the subjective part.

Ayomikunpaul:
No. Original copies and oh. Bring NYSC certificate as well

Yes, very important o, I kept mine in my bag outside, only to be asked for it, I rushed immediately to bring it.

I met people from Lagos in Abuja this past Monday. The fact is you don't have any excuse not to show up for the interview. You even have a publication to cover up for the D7.

Na everybody wey come Abuja from Lagos use flight?

Second author or 20th author, the panelist told me let your name just show in the journal when they search it online. Yes, my panelist were fully armed with data and laptop to check the title of your work online so they can verify.

How can I do the bolded please?

This is the kind of experience sharing we're talking about that is creating contention in the house. Good one @olo4niaja, we have learnt from you. And we'll continue to learn from others. I think this will be the best PTDF thread on Nairaland.

When I am done with my interview I will share everything,down to the comma

Did you respond affirmative to the mail containing the interview link?

It was CBT during my time...... would hv easily put u thru were it to be that....

blacknoir:

WOWW. THanks alot for taking your time to enlighten us, please can you tell us the most likely questions they use to ask.Thank you

KelChuks:


Thank you so much. I have selected yes in response to the mail. This is what I am planning to do. My first date was on 31st June.
On PTDF site was 27th and link came with 27th.

Now, I received another link with different time but still maintained 27th. I will have to start login with the earliest time and date.

By God's grace, I believe it will be hitch free.

I wish everyone best of luck in the interview and rectification of any faults. May we find favour to excel her.

I was also 31st but was moved to 27th... Yet to receive the invite link. This is frustrating

I wish it still was ,I don't like interviews lol.but I hope it goes well

I just wanted to share my experience. I had my interview on Tuesday in Abuja. My field of study is MSC Energy Law and Policy. The interviewers were super friendly. Asked me to present my documents, they looked through each one and inputed scores on their computer. They asked why I didn't have any publication and then told me I had lost marks allotted for publication. They even queried why I belonged to just one professional body. Well, they concluded by asking me to summarize my SOP, detailing what I wanted to study, why I wanted to study it and it's relevance to the Oil and Gas industry.
Truth is, I kind of felt bad about the publication thing, but it's all Good. I wish the rest of you all the best. May God crown you efforts with success.

Hello people, will ptdf accept ASME (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers) as a professional body

I had mine in Abuja too, Tuesday. Exactly as yours went, so did mine. What was the time duration of your interview?

First, I was asked for my WAEC and BSc and I gave both certificates to them. Then, I was asked if I belonged to a professional body and I presented them with the evidence. Then some questions from two of the judges there, after which I was asked for a publication and that, I do not have (felt bad about this).

One thing I still want to understand though is this; could one's undergraduate project serve as a publication, even when it is practical work and not research-based?

Summary, dress formal like people said here (I was asked why I did not wear a tie despite dressing formal), belong to professional bodies, have a publication, get ready to answer a few questions and pray (if you believe in God).

CC: myphysics, please, the bolded. Any idea?

It's just a project until you publish it on a peer reviewed journal.
I hear in some centres, panelists were there with computers and internet to check if what you claim was published is actually published
