Hello House ,

URGENT RESPONSE IS NEEDED PLS ....

I have applied for the PTDF UK MSc category ,MSc category will be interviewed this time ......from the website, applicants can now chose their preferred Interview centres. Each of the 6 Geo-political zone in Nigeria has one its state as its interview centre.

example : Enugu for south East zone ...and Ibadan for South west zone ....

MY QUESTION :

(1) I am from the South East, and i presently resides in Lagos , will it be wise to select Ibadan( which is closer to me ) OR select Enugu .....my Geo-political Zone ??

(2) Does attending the interview in my Geo-political Zone of ORIGIN has a way of increasing my chances of success ? ....considering the present Ethnicity issue in Nigeria. ....I dont really know how transparent PTDF interview committe can be ......

pls those of you who attended your Germany / France /China interview .....at a Geo-political Zone different from your Origin ....should advise me ....to enable me make an informed decision .....the Application closes today.......,,

Any advice would be helpful. Thank you.

Dear Polyma,

My email is oadeniji1@gmail.com.

I got ur mail, but replying via email is kinda hard so I think it's best I put it up here for others to benefit based on my experience with d China/France/Germany application.
- For PhD applicantion, no attention was paid to my SOP as with others that did theirs before me (mine was on Fri 13/4/18).
- secondly, the panel that interviewed me consisted of a female prof of biological sciences, a Dr that was a DD in NOSDRA, a staff from FCC and another Dr who was a beneficiary of d scheme (meaning he got his PhD via ptdf scholarship), my research area was environmental sciences, but both science & Mgt were collapsed into one panel.
- I was asked for some documents, not all though, only BSc, MSC, Awards and publications, that's all.
- I was allowed to present my proposal verbally, after which questions were asked, most questions revolved around details of ur writeup, like method of sample collection, indicators, applications & viability of ur research, etc.
LESSONS LEARNT
- Know your research proposal very well, some questions are quite obvious and will come from there, they might just want to confirm you wrote it yourself.
- the rule was the proposal shouldn't be more than 5 pages, although no penalty if it's more, but I advise u keep to d 5-7 pages, not just coz of d rules, but coz you'll be able to memorise every page and also more write up will def give d panel more questions to ask.
- I was told by d prof that my ptdf award for MSC, will not be considered as an award, but they consider awards like best graduating student, any award in d office for outstanding performance, best project etc
- I didn't have any publications so I just told them I didn't have any
- I think everything from ur WAEC to grade of BSC & Masters, all have marks, also awards and publications will also have marks, ideally certifications should too and relevant work experience.
- if u do not have any awards or publications you're still qualified but ur marks won't be up to those with qualifications.
- selecting preferred centre of interview really doesn't have any effect, it's just for ease, unlike that of BEA that made ppl travel from one part of d country to d other.
- finally, this thing is basically a competition with ppl from ur state, the best in my state might have just a BSC & 2.2, while the worst in another state might have a first class in BSC, distinction in Masters, with awards and publications. So it's relative. I was told by some sources that The interview itself carries only 20marks, (pls is hearsay and not certain).
I hope this helps. All d best to all applicants, may God Bless our hustle.

Thank you so much. I have learnt a thing or two from your write up.

Please who else is experiencing this, I applied for UK scholarship two weeks ago successfully, only to log in now but can't see the status of my application. Its white in colour instead of green.

LOL!!!

You should know PTDF is dominated by Northerners, while NDDC is dominated by southerners, I have no idea who dominates NLNG tho. Like he said don't depend on Nigerian Scholarship schemes, the process is too corrupt
