That mail was sent to 78 candidates, (I have read it my friend got it) if you remember thatduring the application, we were informed to register with daad if you chose any school in Germany. Maybe those 78 candidates didn't register with daad during the registration and the said mail is to remind them to go and do the needful. Which ever way, let us chill. Congrats guys. I am on my way to France (amen) who is with me?

Enroute to France!
I don't think its the DAAD completion of a thing, i know who didn't fill DAAD form and also didn't gt the mail

please did anybody who received the Germany mail also got shortlisted for UK?

Please did you apply for the UK scholarship? If you did, did you receive the mail they sent early this week with regards preferred interview centre update?

To God be the glory

German here we come

Guys if you got the mail, you've made it for the schorlarship, and one of your choices is Germany. If you didn't get the mail and Germany is among your choices, then You didn't make it through. Stop reading all those wrong ideologies written by people and channel your energy to the UK scholarship.

I filled the Daad form when I applied and I still got the mail. The only people who should be hopeful are those who do not have Germany as part of their choices.

Who observed UK applicants now denied access to the portal after selecting interview venue?

So my congratulations are in order right? I like the way you've been talking with certainty. Mind filling us in? Is it MSc or PhD that were contacted? Is 78 not small for both?

I have some few stuffs to tell you people.... Let me get home... I am really confused

I think we’re really helping ourselves here! Having contacted PTDF Scholarship Help Desk: 08105…. On the website, he proved some of our assertions here are actually wrong.

He stated that the people sent mail today for DAAD Update are those who made Germany as one of their choices and who either didn’t complete their application on DAAD portal or have a missing document to update.

Therefore in case you initially registered but got the mail, you’ve something to do on that portal, but if you didn’t get the mail and Germany is one of your choices, then you completed the required registration. This statement is according to info from PTDF

Another person can try contacting them also to be sure.

I think somehow my experience will make all this assumptionists to calm down. ( please don't mind my English or the way I'll put it down).
When I first saw the FGC schorlaship advert, I decided to go through the courses that were available for selection in the application. After days of checking and rechecking, I found only two universities, one in China and the other in France which was my first choice. However as at the time of application I was still serving, so I uploaded my call-up letter instead of discharge certificate. Surprisingly I was the only one shortlisted among my friends, but my concern was when will the interview hold, I had few days left to finish my service. After updating my center, 6 days later I got a mail with details of my interview (2 days before my POP) I was so worried, and about 12hours later I got another mail from ptdf but with different interview details(this time around it was a day after my POP), I was very happy, we did our pop and I left for the interview the next day. Somehow I got to the venue late, infact I was the last person, they all seemed tired and ready to leave (it was on the last day... Friday.. 3pm), when I got there they asked why I was 25mins I late....i explained and they directed my to a register where I saw all the MSC (21) and those who applied under environmental/magement (5)...though I still don't know if that's the total number for the who interview or just for that day... I was then directed to a room, where I met three panelists....the first thing they asked me was to give them 5 copies of my SOP... I was puzzled, because no one told me to bring that much...i had only two with me....they asked why I didn't come with 5 since we were asked to bring that number, I told them I wasn't asked to bring 5 and showed them the mail, so they said I should quickly go and photocopy... I felt really bad (Cx I came late and was not able to produce 5 copies of my SOP)... But when I came back the story changed... I was asked of my statement of result, publication and awards... Still wondering why they didn't ask for my discharge... Then questions followed up... We discussed extensively with them, one of the panelists even asked if I had a proposal in mind, I said off course yes, we discussed about it and he went to his bag and brought out a project, he then assured me that I will sure get the schorlaship if I can right on that (which makes me think there is still another phase) ...
I then applied for the UK schorlaship and was duly shortlisted also... And today I got the OSS masters mail asking me to update my details on the DAAD website.....yes strong profiles work... But luck works more... I still can't understand why I was shortlisted for the Germany schorlaship, I still don't even know the requirements for the course I chose... Though I changed it on the DAAD site...
This doesn't completely make sense...lol... Yes I know... But it will surely help some people....

Now it's making sense

Those that got the mail, congratulations, you have been selected,.

Those that did not get, don't lose hope yet. I believe more will still be called

Btw, forget what any help desk person says, those guys know nothing....i don't know if flexisafsupport is still on NL, he has more valid info

Lol... This is not true.....it can't be true.... I applied for material science and engineering... I am not an engineering or science student... And I got the mail... �.. So it can't be possible.. ..

If I were you, by now I would go and declare Friday things for the boys

Before I make an informed statement, was any PhD candidate mailed for DAAD?

Lol... Okay sir

Xkanta:
France was my first choice, but I got the mail also

please did you register in DAAD portals while applying for the scholarship? and did you see the course you applied for in the DAAD website? i registered in DAAD during the registration and i got the email to go and register. i don't know if i should register again or just ignore the mail.

I didn't register... And didn't see my course... You can't register again if you have already registered before

dazzlingd:

Lol, very cocky way to think....there are several qualified people out there and perhaps with better profiles than you think...just be glad you were shortlisted

you are the cocky person here. I said my profile is strong cos I know it is, I never said it was the best. Maybe its the best, maybe not, I dont know, all I know is I have a good application profile. My sop was nothing special, I tell the truth. I know I wasn't selected based on sop, I'm just trying to help. Go somewhere else Mr/Ms Negative. I won't say my profile is not strong to make you feel better about yourself because that's not true.

Did they congratulate you and tell you you won the scholarship?]

That's not true. We were all told to choose a school from each country so virtually all or majority did that. That means they are to send to all since all had Germany as either first, second or third. There are people who didn't complete the DAAD application and still didn't get any message. The gist is this: If u got the message rejoice and if you didn't get, be hopeful

What is all this DAAD DAAD I am reading since? I am starting to wonder if it is the same ptdf G/F/C I applied for. I applied to Germany and France PhD and at no point did I see anything to do with DAAD.

90 persons where contacted as I can see from my email. Thanks Moonie. From the mail it was addressed to both MSC and PHD.

The 90 recepient email was it from OSS MSc?The email my mentee sent to me was from from OSS MSc showcasing 78 candidates.

OSS MSc only handles MSc. If the recent 90 email comes from a general Ptdf email, then includes PHD

Is there any one that got UK invite that got this German update?

Where are you people getting this your 90% and 78 candidates from now.... Nawa ooo
