On PTDF seeking admission:

This is very dicey as PTDF claims to help with Admission, however it is better to secure your admission yourself so as not to be forced to defer the scholarship to another year. Several people had to choose lower ranking schools last year for their scholarships because they waited for PTDF to come with the admission, however the admission for many schools had closed by the time PTDF released their scholars. So I would suggest one to have atleast one school that one will apply for admissions to.

Ideally what happens is that once PTDF has offered one a scholarship, the school will then invite the candidate to apply, what happens when the admissions are closed? the school cannot reserve a slot for PTDF candidates exclusively as these programs are subscribed for by candidates from all over the world.

IFP for example closes their admissions very early, Nothing PTDF can do to guarantee you a place.

Do we seek admission to the only schools chosen during application or we can try other schools? Will we be considered?

PTDF process admission mostly for French scholars.

PTDF contact in Grenoble filled the application form on behalf of scholars in chemistry department.

In schools where they have strong partnership, admission is straightforward while for others especially for Germany, you are on your own

All my chosen schools are French institutions. Does this mean there's no need of bothering myself with applying for admission again?

Yes. Grade on your certificate or notification of result will be used to score you. No marks will be awarded to transcript, it's just for seeking admission.

Why were you trying to post it on whatapp First?

Hello guys, Please for those that choose UTP Malaysia and have applied to the school, please I need some help in applying. Did you pay for the processing fee? Or how did you by-pass that?

Is it possible you change country ( from France to Germany) after being awarded

Co ask

Of course. However, it's much easier to change from Germany to France than vice versa.
Only because PTDF sends German list to Daad and Daad can only shortlist the scholars sent by PTDF.

However, France process is more easy and straightforward. Scholars do not need anyone to shortlist them again after PTDF.

I can only attempt to answer this from intuition.

For now, I doubt PTDF have any strong relationship with any scholarship body in Malaysia or China. So any cost due to your application would be handled by you.

If it were Germany or France, one would be sure he will be refunded. Infact, provided its a PTDF approved school in France, once you have the scholarship, you will pay for nothing or get reimbursed.

For German scholars, they will make some expenses that Daad will pay later but France Scholars do not have to pay for anything as campus France handles everything about them.

Infact you don't need to leave your house to the airport with any dime.

Please what is the PTDF Whatsapp number?

Thanks for this. So that means, I have to pay for the processing fee myself to apply for the Masters Programme. Also, is our batch going for the September 2020 Semester Intake since the last one is July and the registration closed Feb 29

I am sure you know it works differently for different countries. So, these stuffs mustn't be written in black and white to be figured out.

France for instance do not run summer and winter program, whereas Germany does. So it is already clear that once admission closes for France scholars there's nothing anyone can do about it but provided you choose PTDF schools and the session hasn't started, then PTDF through their partners (Campus France) and the school international office can create a window (one or two weeks) to apply for admission. This also doesn't mean you can't be rejected, admission is not automatic.

However, for Germany, one has the option of summer and winter program. So your scholarship starts immediately you receive the award and you have admission. If the summer window is still open, and you can make it before the start of the program, then good. If not, you will have to wait for winter.
