each document should not exceed 50kb.

Oh okay thanks for the clarification.

Sorry I know this sounds silly but JPEG image is the same as JPEG file? I just want to be sure before uploading, thanks

I had the same issue. Truth is 50kb Is too small a size for documents. To reduce the size of a file you have to compromise quality (unless there's a new technology).

Anyways I experienced the same ish. 50kb is too small a size for a document. If it was a passport now, it would have been better. In my case I applied like that. In this early stage there would be no human physical vetting of documents, it is all automated, so I don't think there's much to worry about as long as your file has the required keywords.
You can wait to here from others on this forum sha. Maybe they have a better solution, as for me, I applied like that. No time.

Hello all, I have read so many queries here wanting to know about size of document, and how best to upload them in order to get shortlisted for the test. Follow the 50kb size requirement as requested. Don't bother if it is not as big or bold as you'll want it.

To the best of my knowledge, almost everyone who applied will get the test invitation, as long as you fulfil application requirements. Usually, applicants don't show documents during the Computer Based Test, but ensure you have all your documents handy if you scale through to the oral interview. Possession of all required documents place you at a vantage point during the interview; especially NYSC certificate and admission letter. In short endeavour to have every required documents.

I will stop here for now. I will add up about the test and interview later.

Wishing every applicant success.

Like I told someone here offline, don't pay anyone for past question(s). NDDC test format changes from time to time. Just ensure you read your undergraduate course properly. Applicants in both category (MSc and PhD) write the same exam, for the same specialisation.

You can open paint software on your computer then click top right (open file) once the document is open click on resize it should be an option on the top cursor buttons, change the top 100 to 50 and click okay don't change the bottom directions own oh then the image should shrink you can also click save as and then jpg file it will also convert it. I hope it helps

Re: 2017 NDDC Foreign Msc And PhD Scholarship by MrsAnyanwu(f): 3:10pm On May 25, 2017

Why do they need IELTS exam? Tell the school your courses and university is in English and your waec has English grades, contest it. They're open to negotiations UK universities or if you have an agent ask them to intercede go to UKEAS their services are free. And even if you upload an unconditional offer now I presume nddc may not be able to zoom in cause nne that document is tiny lol and even if they verify from the school considering you still type out your course and university on their website application form, why not use the period between now and when we will be called for the cbt (hopefully soon - I don't know when) to sit for the IELTS exams if Aberdeen insists and then send a copy of the result to Aberdeen so they can issue an unconditional offer which you can present at the interview by God's grace.

Don't get yourself unnecessarily worried, NDDC does not give any special preference to unconditional offer over conditional offer, what matters most is your score in the CBT and your ability to comport yourself and answer the questions you're asked at the interview.
