kolagentle:When was your stipulated date and time? What you should do is join the meeting from 3pm or whatever time you were given and wait there till they connect to you. It'd definitely show them that someone is in the waiting room. After my first interview, I received another invitation link and I just wanted to be sure they didn't forget asking anything from me so I joined the meeting again and waited for about 1hour after which they connected to the meeting and told me I shouldn't worry that I've already had my interview that they were receiving notifications that I was in the waiting room. So if you can wait, wait patiently. For my first interview meeting, they joined about 30 minutes after the stipulated time. 2 Likes |

Engr2016:But we didn't even consider the possibility of arranging the names according to the "COURSE OF STUDY" which might be arranged alphabetically, please is there any one who can verify this?? |
Re: Apply For 2022/2023 PTDF Overseas Postgraduate Scholarship Scheme by Engr2016: 9:26am On Jun 09, 2022 |
Bro, the current arrangement is irrespective of the course of study. But one thing I noticed is this: majority of those at the top list had 1st class in BSc or distinction in MSc. However, WAEC grade seem not to be used in that ranking since the subjects that could be used automatically on the portal varies except for English and Maths. This would have also altered the list automatically. Hence the reason for actual interview where actual grading and assessment are done. Let's just hope in GOD for His grace and favour no matter our current rankings. Yabani1122: 2 Likes |

Please can anyone who has done the virtual interview this week reach out to me, or anyone who has a teams link for today or tomorrow. We're running out of time as it seems the last day is the 10th. My email said 6th and the portal said 10th but I only recently found an email with teams link in my spam that was slated for the 1st. I have been on the link for 2 days now to no avail (meeting not started, it must have expired). Please I'm desperately in need of a valid link for today or tomorrow to enable me at least get interviewed. Many thanks all 1 Like |

Yes, I also think so too. It is easier for the software to arrange the candidates automatically based on the class of degree than the actual CGPA since universities use different grading scheme. Some use 4.0 scale (most US, UK and Canadian schools ), others use 5.0 scale (most Naija schools) while few use 7.0 scale e.g University of Ibadan . But note, this does not mean all 1st class or even 2: 1 candidates were shortlisted for the interview at the first place. Other nuanced factors could have also been used in the selection of the 8800 out of the original 26000 candidates. Aremson14: 1 Like |

Yes U are right, a software can easily filter out candidates based on certain criteria like that. However, since the required WAEC results varies for shortlisted candidates, there is no way PTDF can conveniently grade the O-levels results like that on the portal. That is why they depend on the professors and interviewers to do that at the centers directly. babey543: |

panmol:Probably their SOP wasnt succint and they didnt have membership nor publications. I advise you to write O level like how many people rewrote to have A,s and win PTDF like how many people did. Everyone calculate your scores now MSC SCORING CRITERIA The marks of O level is the second-highest: 30 marks A for 6 points. 5 times 6 is 30 SOP total of 50 marks: It is impossible to score 50 marks overall. Only candidates that get recommended score 50 marks. First degree 10 marks: First class 10 marks Membership and Publication combined together: 10 marks 2 marks for each. Ensure they are 5 in no order to get the full marks. PHD SCORING CRITERIA The marks of O level is the second-highest: 30 marks A for 6 points. 5 times 6 is 30 Research Proposal total of 40 marks: It is impossible to score 40 marks overall. Only candidates that get recommended score 40 marks. First degree 10 marks: First class 10 marks Masters 10 marks: Distinction, 10 marks Membership and Publication combined together: 10 marks 2 marks for each. Ensure they are 5 in no order to get the full marks. Pray that there are not many guru in your state. If you chose F/G/M, you have high chance of winning as many gurus with great score chose UK I am a current PTDF Scholar. 9 Likes |

Yes bro. This confirms why I said O-level results were not used in the current arrangement of the shortlisted candidates. There are some intricate and nuanced considerations involved which we don't fully know yet. panmol: |

Engr2016:You are welcome. Ensure you already have an admission letter. PTDF will pay for your visa applications and flight. Ensure you connect with one another in the PTDF tower and form a Facebook or Whatsapp group of successful scholars to help one another in their respective countries. Connect to one another and do not insult each other as you all have a bright future. You will be paid in 6 months advance so you can have sufficient money to bring your family. PTDF now support you to stay if you get employment abroad because of unemployment in Nigeria. They have realised that there are so many unemployed PTDF scholars and their investment is now a waste. Other countries that sponsor scholars for scholarships offer automatic employment in universities and oil companies when they go back home. Ask for the non-objection letter from PTDF when you get employment as this will indirectly boost Nigeria's economy. The highest contributor to Nigeria's economy is those staying and living overseas supporting their family and building businesses and resources. Those without an admission letter will have their scholarship deferred. But we don't know about next year as there is an election and anything can happen. 8 Likes |

Engr2016: I can confirm to you that O'level plays a significant factor in shorlisting candidates. I am also a past schorlar, but I got PTDF the period they normally conduct test to select Msc awardee. I have subsequently tried and encoraged my younger brother who had a very good grade in his first degree, but most of his O' level subjects were C, in fact he got mostly C5 and C6, and he was not shortlisted for all the three time he tried. But my wife has attemped twice in the year 2018, and this year included with second class lower division, 4A1 including Maths and English, B3 in one subject , 5 publications and many awards. She was always shortlisted. I am very sure she could not get the schorlaship in the year 2018, because she was told her proposal was not related to Oil and Gas. This year, she did her interview in Ibadan, with the same proposal, you can imagine even after the interview, they had to call her back to collect her number. she was also asked if she knows someone at PTDF. So, you can see that her O'level result alone is very tight even though she got 2:2, and of course her Msc was a merit. 2 Likes |

LOL who said? all that the software needs to do is to take Maths + English and 3 highest grade entries to calculate a final score for the WAEC component. Lecturers are only there for verification and actual interviewing Engr2016: |
