donasere: Hmm. Donasere Eleniyan Biggest guy ever liveth! CSC has not set a time limit for submitting reference. It is our nominating agency (FSB) that is giving us till tomorrow/thursday. If you are sure your referee will be available early next year, then you don't have any problem wito the CSC. but I don't know how strict FSB were with reference last year. Please PM me man. Lemme suggest something |

I would love to share my experience. I actually participated in the commonwealth interview in which I fared well but I eventually got the regret mail. For you to be accredited, you must have the following 1.Your Original degree (M. Sc) applicants and both Original degree and M. Sc degree (PhD) applicants. 2.Academic transcript 3.Medical certificate of fitness from a federal teaching hospital or state hospital 4.Original O'level result be it NECO Or Waec 5.EAS print outs ( 4 copies) 6.N.Y.S.C discharge certificate 7.State of Origin Certificate 8.Admission letter from any U. K University. Out of these 8, if you can't present 4 or 5,you won't be accredited which implies that you won't be interviewed. Last year interview was tedious and unorganized. Present yourself at the accreditation Centre very early and write your name before you will be given a tag with a number which will determine when you will be interviewed. The interview will take play at Nanets Suites. Please endeavor to write your name as that will determine when you will face a panel of 3 professors. You will be asked questions as follows but it doesn't follow any pattern. 1.describe yourself or can we meet you?. 2.Where do you hail from? 3.What's your course of study and what did you graduate with 4.What's your research topic and how will it develop Nigeria You should be up to date with political, socio-economic and religious happening in Nigeria You should be able to say one or two things about Commonwealth ie date of creation member countries etc. You should know names of political figure head in Nigeria ie full names of Mr President, V.P ,governors etc You should know states and capital etc. I actually fared well in the interview last year but I had some shortcomings 1.I didn't go with my academic transcript 2.I didn't have an offer of admission from any U. K University 3.I didn't go with evidence of publication and awards. Mehn, all the supervisors gave me Zero in those columns. To be honest with you guys, If you have all these intact, your chances is high as you would have to fight off other candidates from your state. I reiterate that If you have a First class you are sports on. I am saying these based on personal experience. Three of the guys I became friends with who were first class graduates got the scholarship. I noticed some anomalies in the whole process. There was corruption on a grand scale as supervisors were seen collecting telephone numbers of aspirants. But I don't take excuses for my failures. Yeah I was denied a first class in my university days but I won't let that deter me from achieving my goals and aspirations in life. I couldn't apply this year because I am yet to get a copy of my transcripts and I am yet to be offered an admission into a U. K University. I am yet to publish my work in a journal. Hopefully I will apply next year when I have these in place. There are no mistakes in life but lessons. My friends got the commonwealth based on merit and the GRACE OF GOD. I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST IN THIS YEAR'S COMMONWEALTH SCHOLARSHIP INTERVIEW. I PRAY THAT THE MERCY, GRACE, LOVE AND MERCY OF GOD WILL SEE YOU THROUGH. 12 Likes 1 Share |

I don't think that's right, the invite clearly specified credentials and eas forms as the documents to be photocopied into 4 places. Pls check properly and ask well if not certain. The info is really important. See this screenshot from last year thread

Re: Apply For 2017 Msc And Phd Commonwealth Scholarship In The Uk by Nobody: 11:55pm On Dec 03, 2016 |
For those that will check here during 2018/2019 Commonwealth next year.. Lemme help your solution Have all these documents in hand (preferably in 4 copies) : 1. Medical Certificate 2. NYSC discharge 3. Transcript 4. Degree Certificate (1st class/2:1) 5. Admission Letter 6. Origin Certificate 7. Birth Certificate Ensure all your referees submit their references before the interview date and print out the evidence. Essential Documents 8. Evidence of Prizes/Awards 9. Evidence of community service 10. Evidence of Professional Membership 11. Evidence of Post-NYSC Employment 12. Recommendation Letters Also, know basics about your geopolitical zone (all the states in your zone.. .their governors, deputies, capital, senators, ministers and rep members from the zone) Have basic knowledge of Commonwealth (the head, secretary, member countries and year it was convened). Also, be abreast of current affairs.. .Nigeria, Africa and the world. Arrive at FSB (Ministry of Education) very early. It will save you a whole lot of stress. Trust me. Be prayerful.. .People get the award on MERIT. Wishing all of us Good luck. Peace out. 5 Likes |
