thanks for the advice. I pray they hear you out. They don't know that they are applicants too.

Stages of the application this year
1) Application
2) Shortlisting
3) Interview
4) Selection
Those who are to be shortlisted will be required to submit their transcript prior to the interview. Those with an attractive and complete transcript stands a good chance of making it to the interview. Your performance at the interview will determine whether you will be selected for the OSS or LSS (there is no separate application for LSS this year).

Please help! Can i upload Age declaration in place of Birth Certificate?

I'm curious. Do you work with PTDF or was there something similar last year?

Yes of course. That was what I did, not everyone has Bcert at the time of birth. So age declaration is used.

Call the Flexisaf customer care centre for confirmation. I just called to confirm something this morning.

You can use age declaration if you dont have birth certificate. Nothing to worry about.

I experienced same. I don't think it's a problem

Same here... I guess it was programmed that way, so no cause for alarm.

Cheers!

Try re-uploading your picture.

No offence if this has been answered before but I want to know 2 things.

1.Does this replace the regular PTDF scholarship which was given out over the years or will there be another one (unlikely I know)?

which leads me to

2. Anyone know how much this scholarship is worth? Will the payment be structured like previous payments/NDDC wherein your fees are paid and the remaining value of the scholarship is paid to you or your fees are paid and you get monthly upkeep?

As for the first question, no the way this scholarship is handled shows it might bear some resemblance with how it was previously conducted however it isn't entirely the same since the fund will help you seek admission this time around and the absence of the test for MSc.

Question 2: (This is for how it has been conducted, I don't know how it would be this year)

No the value structure is completely different from how NDDC is conducted. Your tuition value doesn't at all affect your monthly stipend value. Your tuition would be paid irrespective of the amount and the same monthly stipend would be given to everyone with no reference to tuition at all.

@DMainman
Please have you been able to get their final decision regarding the test or interview issue?

Yes it is an interview and not a test.

In that light, I advise everyone to include everything that can potentially support their application even if it is primary school prefectship.

Also I would advise everyone especially MSc applicants to still prepare for technical questions in the interview. Although this seems highly unlikely but it never hurts to prepare ahead.

Wish you guys best of luck

Yes

I'm unable to move beyond the "family detail" page, i need assistance please.

Which type of transcript should one have at hand, because I only have the student copy of my transcript handy. The official transcript are usually send to the school that you are applying to.

Please some one should sheld more light on this.

If things hasn't changed, you should be fine with your student copy too.
That's what I uploaded too when I won it. In fact it's what I sent to my school when they requested for original transcript and they accepted it.
In all except it is explicitly stated that they require the school send the transcript to them, you'll be fine with your student copy

Good luck.

please,can somebody who has done the interview before give us clue on what to expect from the ptdf M.Sc scholarship. Thank you!

From what i know, this is the first time MSc applicants will be interviewed rather than writing a test. So accurate answers might be difficult to find except it's from official sources. However for PhD applicants, it is a defence of their research proposal.

Anyone with more accurate info can further expantiate on this.

DMainMan:
PTDF: INTERVIEW FOR BOTH MSC AND PHD AS NO MORE APTITUDE TEST

There will be no aptitude test according to Flexisaf. Current information from them is that interview only will be conducted.

Hence shortlisting this time could also involve the partner schools. So ensure you check the entry and admission requirements of your proposed school and course to determine if you can gain admission. Just google your proposed school and course and check for entry requirements in the school website.

Endeavour your two referees can be contacted and will give a good account about you.

Don't forget to write an astounding personal statement and a succint research proposal (for PhD).

If you have submitted, don't feel bad. You can still edit your application. But after you finish editing, click on submit again so your information will be updated.

please can one change the sequence of his choice of country /course? Thanks

Someone should kindly put me through how he/she registered on the DAAD portal. After clicking personal funding I seem to be lost.

Do u mean quoting it under "Institution attended" page?

yea

I am stucked at the scholarship details page.

This statement Of Purpose(SOP) of a thing requires serious summary. Before you type what's on your mind, you are told your 600 words is exhausted. It means that there won't be room for paragraphing since every spacing is considered as a word. Meaning one cannot type more than one page. The samples we see online have different format

motivationspika:
you have not done anything wrong here

Hello please I chose Germany first and second choice with different school but the same course(Electrical Engineering) and the third choice is China (computer technology). Hope there won't be any problem?

You can summarize what you intend to say within the allowed limit. Don't expect to get it done right the first time. Except you're not new to it. Some people spent weeks composing theirs
