This new format is less about the interviews but about overall profile and competition within your state - things like your WAEC, class of degree, publications, awards, membership of professional bodies and your SOP/interview are taken into consideration with interview only accounting for about 25 marks the last time I checked.

Pls I didn’t see any column to upload awards gotten while filling the form. Was there such a thing I missed?

There's no such thing as to upload awards this time. However, where did you get the above grading pattern from?

This was from last year's format which I was lucky to come across by mistake

However to prepare for the interview you just need to be able to explain the rationale for the course and why you want to study it as well as how it will benefit Nigeria

Pls any news on daad application??

.

PTDF management or selection committee determines the format. last year it was point based format where distinction in WAEC is 30pts, First Class is 30pts, Second Class Upper is 25pts and so on.

No one knows this year format yet for shortlisting.

Thank you for this, at least now I know my chances. I don't think there will be much changes from last year, the only notable change I noticed is that awards were not included this year.

Ok

Someone should verify one Megco/nnpc scholarship...looks like a scam
