Status has not changed yet, but very hopeful! I think selection status is based on the admission processed of your school choice. For instance, University of Bremen admission offer was out on June 6, 2018 and if one had applied or took that as his or her first choice, that person's status supposed to change to SELECTION MADE. Admission application to my first choice elaspes on July 15, so I still have a long time for waiting for it to be changed to selection made.

[quote author=ExxA post=68301737]I'm a PhD applicant and was a PTDF scholar, I haven't bn contacted but I'm very hopeful. I think we need to be patient, I applied to both the FGC and UK schemes.
I can tell you AUTHORITATIVELY that the marking scheme for PhD applicants posted on this forum is wrong, at least its not what was on the table while I was being interviewed. I remember that qualification (Bachelors plus Masters) was a max of 30 marks.
If you think you did well and you haven't bn contacted, remain hopeful..
Below is my profile:

Masters..Distinction
Bachelors...First Class
Awards...13
Publications..None
Work experience..7yrs

Lets keep our fingers crossed and above all..PRAY!!

This is an illustarious academic performance, i wish you success, but please if I want to get award now, how can I get it.

....

ExxA:


My awards are all academic:
Best student from my dept/faculty, award from NSA (undergrads), best research project, best in the dept, deans list (masters) etc.
If you were a scholar, your letter serves as an award too.

All of these are Awards but not actually what they requested for. They asked for National/International Awards.

But they accepted it from him...like he mentioned earlier....

Next time go with everything you have achieved in this life...you never know what they would accept....

It’s not about being accepted but about being scored for it.

One thing I also know is PTDF doesn’t shortlist in batches. If you have not been contacted for this, look forward to the U.K own.

PS: I am not trying to come at him/discourage him or anyone. Just saying the reality.

Wish everyone the best!

Well, they were very well recieved. I didnt school in Nigeria, but my academic achievements have earned me presidential handshake/award, award from NSA etc (if those don't count, I dont know what will).
By the way, my post is only to encourage people who thought they did well and haven't bn contacted, lets not miss that

Congrats on your achievements. I didn’t see any form of encouragement in your post but rather a form of swanking.

No matter where you schooled, how many presidential handshakes you have received, I believe you are a scholar and can distinguish between a National/International award and an award conferred in your school.

Ptdf no try! See as them allow us the money around for want of what to do while waiting. Anxiety don make person tire sef. Make dem do comot the yeye list make person do facefront for other things jor

Hahahah... Interview was jst last month u knw. All in all it has not reached 3 months. If u had applied for DPR job, u for don get heart attack by now. Its started in 2016 n up to now it had not bn concluded.

I believe the DPR own you're using as example may have concluded internally within weeks and they're just wasting some candidates time. Unlike PTDF, they don't publish names and aren't under obligation to do so.

PTDF publishes names, so it's natural to be a bit anxious. No one has to wait 3 months.

By the way this is a scholarship application, not a job application. The anxiety is natural.

Please Ooooooo....This thread also has many scholars who schooled abroad so please lets face the real biz. 13 awards and distinction does not guarantee Ptdf scholarship..... You competitors are those from your state of origin. If you are from the south , your credentials should humble because there are people with similar profile and journal publications. I know a Masters student DAT got the f/g/c he had ten 10 publications so let's just chill. I repeat with all your dossiers and no publication is a question mark. Even in this free tuition schools like China before bagging your MSC you must publish at least two journals so am surprised with all tour résumé no publication



.hmmmm

It seems you have issues ooo. People have complained here that others don't share information and this guy graciously went out of his way to share and you see it that he is swanking.

I wish to thank the guy with the 13 awards for sharing I am sure that has humbled some of us at the same time, some of us will get to see the grace of God working in our lives.

In my own case, I have 2 awards from my place of work (best customer service award), a private organization. When I gave them at the interview, no questions were even asked they gave me my full points for those there was no debate on whether it was national or international. So don't shortchange yourselves next time. just take all and sundry.

Help me tell him and the other guy that was saying publication is expected only during PhD. You have to demonstrate your research potential since undergraduate level. Only if many have known this, going for postgraduate studies would have been a bit easier. That’s what those school abroad appreciates. I have seen a friend with 2:1 and with two publications got a fully funded place in Canada. That you have completed your MSc and have no publication is a red flag for advancing into PhD.

Please kindly answer me.

I am new to this trend but I've read most of the posts. Thanks to all of you for the posts. They are quite informative.

Please what does it imply if your status has changed to selection made on the DAAD application status?

They didn’t ask you any questions because they realized you don’t know what a National/International Award is. The guy is even much better because It’s even awkward you showing best customer service when you are going for an academic interview. Who that one epp?


Good luck to everyone!

Mr it's even awkward, I see u know better than the panelist!

It helped me ooo. just watch this space I will be among those rejoicing when the list comes out.

Please guys let this issue slide... We all need favour from God and not argument as scholars. I pray that God's favour will locate us all on either F/G/C or UK shortlist in the coming days. Amen.

Bodmillz:

sorry, all I presented was previous scholarship award and I was scored, and I have been contacted for FGC. even during the UK interview, that was all I presented and I remember I was scored on that too. so ask again

People will definately rejoice in the end of it all.

Then I doubt if anyone will be able to present an award for marks then if you want to be that critical in distinguishing awards

Bodmillz:

Which national/international award do you really mean that ptdf is requesting for?

distinctguy:

Ask those with awards from NYSC, before you draw that conclusion

I’m glad you are here. Scholarship award qualifies as a National Award. E.g the MTN foundation scholarship, State Govt Scholarship, Federal Govt. Scholarship and so on.

I wish all of us the best. Patiently waiting on the U.K result!

Amen. God’s favor is all we should pray for!

Awards, whether 100 or 5 (international, national, local, official etc) was scored a maximum of 5marks, one for each award..by this you should know how unnecessary your arguments are.

Both awards and publications had maximum of 5 each and yes i was given full marks for my awards. Again, it was just to encourage others.

That said, for the sake of those that are interested in what I have to say:

THE LIST SHOULD BE OUT ANYTIME FROM NEXT WEEK, SO WATCH OUT.

Please dont tag me, the explanations I have given so far are draining.
