@ Ignis: There won't be any interview, once you pass the aptitude test, you get the award. Interview is for Phd candidate.

Ok, Thanks
But the selection is based on what n what? Somebody told me that they pick 4 people from each state. Don't know how true.

Crying over spilt milk is pointless. It'd be more helpful if y'all write only comments that will help future candidates to get a feel of the test questions, while you hope and pray to succeed.
Thanks
One Nigeria!

Yeah, equal number of people per state and additional slots for candidates from oil-producing states. For 2010, thirteen persons from each of the oil-producing states and nine each from every other state were awarded.

you mean 13 and 9 candidates from EACH oil and non oil states respectively or ??

vivichocs: you mean 13 and 9 candidates from EACH oil and non oil states respectively or ??

Yep EACH.
There is no such thing as an absolute success here, it's always relative to and dependent on the scores of other candidates from your state of origin. Those who have been complaining need to stop that because whatever injustice they felt was served to them in the contents of their test was universal- everyone else was affected. Just pray you come out tops!

I don't know the basis on which ptdf arrived at their groupings for the Part B.
How will you categorise environment and remote sensing under Environment and safety engineering. To make matters worse, there was no single question related to remote sensing for that particular group.
Thank God for some general and secondary school basic science, I may not have been able to answer any question whatsoever.

Thank God all the same, cos this race is not to the swift, neither is this battle to the strong.......it's all about time and chance, being in the right place @ the right time. What will be, will be.

seriozly........i was shocked too.....not even 1 question relating to remote sensing

But nevertheless, whatever would be would be..........Its well, let it just be an eye opener for subsequent years to prepare for the worse.......
NOT TO WORRY, AS LONG AS YOU TRUST GOD, YOUR SUCCESS CAN BE ATTAINED, PTDF OR NO PTDF......Life Goes on!!!!.......wish everyone success in their endeavors.......and hoping some of us would come back here to share the good news............God Bless Us All!!!

There would be negative marking in the 2 parts. The exam official even emphasized on it during the 2nd session.

There's NO negative marking for the Part 2. Copy and paste the link below to see the 2010/2011 exam format which is a replica of this year's format.

Well in my own case, I wanted to write energy system and a good friend who had written earlier just told me that the questions were typical geology and geophysics questions. He said almost 95 percent of the questions. I would have switched to control system but the experience of last year that control was based on chemical process. I just picked race enter environmental , before I knew what was happening I don't think I was able to know upto 10 questions that I was sure of. Lets keep our trust in God.pls be prayerful and we will all meet In UK by His grace
