I currently thinking about not going for my PTDF Scholarship Interview in Abuja.
Reason are: I am having D7 in one of the major science subject (Chemistry). I am a second author in the publication I have and, lastly I am currently in Lagos, thinking about the flight fare to and fro is demoralizing. I am trying to be realistic while also believe God for Grace.
An advice from you all will be appreciated.

Just try. Don't have any pessimistic attitude. I won ptdf scholarship without knowing anyone

Thank you.

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?

Well your undergraduate project is not a publication until it's been published anywhere. And again it depends on how you manage the interview and convince the interviewers. My undergraduate project was published, so I had a score for it. I have also published my MSc. thesis.

Don't disturb yourself much about publication, it's probably 1 or 2 points. When I did my interview I didn't know I will get it. I rated it generally as not good and yet I got it.

I strongly believe after reading your experience that you will make the final list.

I think ASUU is a union and not a professional body.

Well, I presented it to them and they gladly accepted it as a professional membership. They did accepted my 3 publications as well. MSc applicant.

My research proposal is more that 5 pages. Will I be penalized for that?

Are certificates of conference paper presentation accepted?

sambanjo2000:

Na wa o. Penalized báwo?

Go and do this interview abeg. It's not as tough as people have painted it to be.

Hi guys.

I picked Oil and Gas Finance/ Energy Finance as my chosen course in my application. When I wanted to apply to the schools, I discovered that the schools are not offering the course for 2022. I had to apply for Oil and Gas Management (which is also a PTDF approved course).

My question is, my SOP is centered on Oil and Gas Finance. When asked to talk about my SOP and chosen course, should I talk about Oil and Gas Management or Finance?

sadiik45:

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.

This is great brother. You have done well for sharing. God bless you and who has done virtual interview. Please, kindly share your experience. God will show us mercies and favour in Jesus name... Amen. Thanks

Did they request for awards?

This is tricky. Why didn't you change your SOP when you had the chance to?

Anyway, oil and gas management deals with the commercial and financial aspect of the industry as well. Make reference to finance-related courses in the curriculum which attracted you to the course.
Make it known that, you seek to gain expertise in oil and finance and even more, which is why you pick management.
Remember oil nd gas management deals with finance management as well.

My sister just find a COMMON GROUND.

FatimaMK:
I have done my interview successfully, MashaAllah. The interview was smooth, few questions were asked; summary of my research proposal, why do I want to go outside for the study, that the title of my proposal is long I should summarize it before them.
I wish others best of luck.

Wish you best.
