Hahaha my brother it won't o.

It will just give us false hope and it is purely unethical to be dishing out falsehood in the name of trying to help. Truth be told, ptdf scholarship is only by the pure grace of God if you know no one. Too difficult. People will gather for hours for an assessment only to be disappointed greatly. Especially when you don't know the selection criteria.

No matter how hard is it, people and not ghost will be eventual winners. I am among them too. Let us keep faith alive and it shall end in praise to God"s glory

Reliable05:


I am among them too, by the grace of God

mrphysics:
Congratulations to those selected.

Finally, after 3 attempts at PhD, I got it this time (the 3rd attempt).

I actually said I was never going to go again if I didn't get it this time and I gave up on it after my interview.

Well congrats to me and to everyone.

I must have said something true because it irked someone or some persons and I was reported and suspended temporarily.

I repeat my sentiments again, the process will be deemed free and fair only when we are fully aware of the selection criteria.

It is unfair to invite people with very slim chances of winning the scholarship. So many person's spent their last cash on TP.

When people start airing there minds, those who are 100percent sure of a chance with get jitters and they do everything, including distracting or reporting you on SM platforms so that your write up won't jeopardize their surety.
Make Una report me again

Marianwao:
Congratulations Sir.

I did not get. Even though I tried to moderate my expectation, it still stings a little. We will try again, one day he go be our turn in this or other aspects of our lives or both.

Congratulations once again everyone.

kolladey:

Congratulations Mrphysics.👍👍👍


France or Uk?

mrphysics:


Thanks ma'am. Sure, don't give up, keep trying. Regardless of the fact that I had a PTDF MSc Scholarship, it didn't matter. I had to try the PhD for 3 times. So don't give up, keep modifying your options.

For instance, in my first time of trial (for PhD), I went through the engineering option and had a very bad experience with a Nigerian Professor. So the next time, I decided that I will change my topic to something related to environment knowing fully well that your PTDF topic doesn't matter after the scholarship. Your topic will be determined by your supervisor. If you are lucky, you will see a topic related to the one you proposed to PTDF. So I changed and diverted to environment. Had a better experience last year but didn't get it, then tried this year (same topic, same everything) and got it.

Above all, keep believing in God and don't give up.

My guy this one wey u quote me, no be me report you ooo

Reliable05:
Guys the group is so silent, no testimonies, nothing nothing. Or is it only mrphysics that got it among the people on this platform? Please share your victory

Ikpok:


Told you guys!

Jammie101:
Lol. You need to Chill bro. I got the Scholarship as well. I know no one. Only prepared with previous knowledge and insight from successful guys in the past. This was my third attempt.

If you keep up with this mentality, you won't get it. And while you're complaining about it, PTDF is one of the easiest scholarships in terms of process.

Thanks bro.


I didn't see any country this time around. I think they didn't constrain applicants to specific country rather scheme. I.e. if you applied for the GFM option, then once you have admission in any of the country you can proceed. If you applied for the UK option then its straight forward.

In summary, I used the GFM option and will most likely go to France.

Marianwao:
Well, see Marian here oo. I am a very humble girl, I am not proud at all lol. Also, I believe the process is credible. Please give me some of those insight that helped you this year. We try again

mrphysics:

What he said is true. The process is fair, however you can't ignore the possibility that some get it by knowing people. But the majority of the successful scholars are by merit.

What I think about PTDF is that your success strongly depends on your WAEC. For instance, if you have a very good WAEC, you can be sure of getting invited for the interview. If you don't have atleast 2 As, and very few Cs, then you should forget about being invited for the Interview. If you have a good WAEC result, say 2+ As with the rest being Bs or As, Bs and 1C, anything else, your chances of getting to the Interview stage is slim.

Then during the interview: For MSc it depends on your presentation skills, your ability to engage the panel, add humor where necessary. I see alot of people reading and reading preparing for interviews, I never studied for PTDF Interview.

For PhD, it strongly depends on the panel and having extra credentials such as Awards, publications, etc. These sources of extra mark can make the difference. Imagine having your undergraduate and MSc thesis published in a journal. Imagine scoring full mark for awards, membership of professional bodies, this is where majority lose some points.
Defending your proposal is also important but it shouldn't be academic. I always tried making it simple.
