I still have access to mine though the interview date isn't there again

I think it's same for everyone's profile.

YhemmyBloom:
I was asked..i answered that i wanted full ..Though i cant figure out what that means, but the koko is for the will of God to be done.

Me too was asked oo and I answered full funding. please what does it mean?
someone here should help us deduce this pls.

Or perhaps, there was a public outcry against the neglect of 2:1 and 2:2 candidates last year. In my findings, I am yet to see any non-first class applicant that won it in 2020/2021 . Well, things may change this year.

FatimaMK:
That was then Oga. A very good o-level result is far better than first class this year. That is why everybody complain that the weight of o-level is too much. The determining factor is o-level now not class of degree.
May we be successful at the end.

It means you don’t have to pay a dime

Oh
thanks.
I wanted confirm if at all it's a sign that they will recommend someone or it's a general question for all candidates?

I know of a lady that won it last year. She had 2.1 and luckily for her, she met her undergraduate project supervisor on her interview panel. She wasn't even asked any questions! She just dropped her credentials and that was it...

Login into the ptdf portal to update my location details the computer did not have a button to update my location for interview from PH to Enugu. Can I attend the interview in Enugu although I have gotten invite for Uniport with barcode? PTDF sent emails that Enugu location has been reopened. Please who has similar issue. (INCOUNTRY APPLICANTS)

Hmmm! I have heard a story like this too from one of the current awardees. That's where the factor of Divine favour comes into play. But overall, 1st class candidates have always carry the biggest percentage of winners.

I graduated with 2:1 and I won it 2019/2020 on the fourth attempt. To be sincere, O'level is important, it helped me.
Also, during our time, award was considered and I presented two awards.
That 2019/2020, First Class= 10marks, 2:1=8 marks, 2:2= 5 marks.

Nothing specific about first class honestly. It is just like someone with first class is more likely to do well in O level as well. It is the compounding effect

I don't Sir.

This kind of grace happens to ladies mostly. With just little effort, a lady can get the scholarship. But for men, hhmm you need to work extra hard.

KoolK:

Will it affect anything?

On the fourth attempt, I changed direction to GFC(it was China the third Country during our time), because i discovered that majority of the gurus always want UK, so I left the UK for them(lolz). I am very sure that the changed of country then was one of the factors that helped me. UK is always competitive.
Your interview performance is also a huge factor to make the final list.
Abuja interview center is good,they are more friendly, I did my interview there(though not everyone can chose Abuja center). You remembered that someone made mentioned of Abuja center few days ago.
Conclusively, God did it for me because one can only get what God has destined for him/her.
May the Divine favor locates you guys.

Truth is that irrespective of the center ehn, just pray for a favourable and considerable panel.

Some interview panels for Abuja ehn, you go see shege too, although averagely overall na Abuja still dey helpful pass.

Bros abeg what's your state?

I have been following this thread closely. And most people have no idea how ptdf do these stuffs. My brothers.. just pray and keep on praying. It is not about your waec or first class, just pray for grace. All this calculations and permutations are nothing. There is so much to ptdf selection than you think.

Was it not stated to apply for one ?
Because it is confusing. Assuming you got the two, you would pick OSS and leave LSS while blocking someone chance who would have been shortlisted for LSS interview.

Very correct. Very minimal merit, many factors influence the final selection..

Exactly. It makes me laugh when I see some calculations. But I feel like everyone should know. Ptdf selection is far far away than they think.

I don't think it was stated to apply for one o

NuelNuelTT:

Ok. Thanks..

To all those that will get the scholarship, congratulations in advance and remember to have fun .

I have a friend with 2.1 that got selected on first attempt for FGM and I have a colleague too first class that got selected for UK.

Just any class of degree can get it.

Make dem just comot list make I see the gracious men and women

May be is you that lacked idea on the selection process for PTDF scholarship sir. I could remember PTDF briefed us on their selection process during our induction last three years. Those variables that are being discussed here are the factors one needs to worry about, because if you can cross them you don't have problem, God willing. The other factors are not somethings of worry.
And even the invitation mails that were sent to the applicants stated it clearly that selection is based purely on one performance in interview. Why wouldn't people worry about their interview performance? All other things are just formalities if you get your interview very well.
May we be among the successful applicants.

They have stakeholders list which is entirely different from merit list.
