it seems you don't know a lot about what is going on in the world right now.

what I meant is that many will not meet up for admission due to the pandemic. we will secure the scholarship but some will start next year due the pandemic.

"The suspension affects the second week of the interview scheduled to review shortlisted PhD applicants in four centers of Abuja, Kaduna, PH and Ibadan"

~ Culled from PTDF's March 20 publication.

In my understanding, this suspension does not in anyway affect Msc candidates. Besides, the induction isn't done together.

please do i have to personally apply for Admission to the Institutions i selected in the PTDF process, or will PTDF take care of that?

You have to apply to the schools separately

I think Msc applicants are also affected by the suspension. Because their interview results could have been out if they are not affected.

Okayoo. Bro Edoboy.
However, why should any scholar wait for the result before seeking admission given the various contributions from past and present scholars on this thread?

Your point is strong.

For those who may want to calculate their chances, my observations during the interview has led me to this template (my observation);

1. Class of degree = 30marks.
first-class =30, 2'1 =24, 2'2 =18 etc

2. English, Math + best 3 Olevel grades = 30marks
A1=6marks, B2=5marks, B3=4marks etc

3. SOP + your oral Presentation = 25marks

4. Max 5 professional memberships = 10marks
each membership carries 2mrks....

5. Publications = 5marks
each pub = 1mark, I can't say for high impact factor pubs like Elsevier, Springer, Taylor etc

Total.............. = 100marks
NB: This is my observation!

High impact journal alone is 5Mrks. If you have any of Elsevier, Springer, Taylor, etc, you earned your five points intact.

Ohhh sounds nice. The whole 5mrks is well deserving for Elsevier etc.
Mine isn't in that category sha

I remember seeing the marking sheet but didn't want to take a photo for confidentiality reasons but it isn't far from this. In fact this is an accurate representation

Well i feel PHD criteria might be a little different considering two degrees involved (Bsc n Msc)�

Of course!
Alot of difference, Degrees and Olevel will carry lesser marks. Aims/obj of research proposal will carry marks, literature review etc will be considered.
So PhD guys are always drilled harder.

Kolladey oooo come and say something please

...7th of July! No press release. Wait for 14th. They always make publications about awards on Tuesdays.

It was Tuesday for both 2018 and 2019 OSS Awardees, but was Thursday for the 2017 Awardees. It could be any day especially now that we're in a new normal.

Hope we hear from them before next week ends.

This silence is too much. LET'S BOMBARD THEIR PAGE WITH TWEETS

COVID-19: Visa applications to resume soon in Nigeria, says UK
The British High Commission in Nigeria says it will soon begin to receive visa applications from Nigerians willing to travel to the United Kingdom.
The Commission noted that Nigerians hoping to visit the UK could do so once international flights resume in Nigeria.
The Federal Government had in March shut the country’s airspace to domestic and international flights as part of measures to curb the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
However, with the resumption of domestic flights on Wednesday, Nigerians are in high spirits, expecting the government to okay the restart of international flights.
In a statement on Thursday, the British High Commission in Abuja said visa application centres which were initially suspended due to the pandemic would reopen “when it is safe to do”.
The statement read, “We know there are many Nigerian nationals hoping to travel to the UK when flights resume, both for employment and to see family members.
“UKVI are working closely with TSL contact, our commercial partner, to reopen visa application centres that were suspended due to COVID-19.
“UK visa application centres are reopening in phased manner globally when it is safe to do so and when we can operate an effective service.
“TSL contact are putting appropriate measures in place and working hard to reopen in Nigeria. We will share details of when VACs will reopen soon.”

Bro, it is what it is.
I'm more afraid for PhD candidates.

PhD has no deadline for application. MSc does

kanuchibuezeo:

everyone should have applied for admission by now.
I'm referring to interview for PhD applicants.

So what of those that have not applied yet?

Ask previous scholars, they'll tell you everything.

emeritus007:

You think PTDF cares? Ask previous scholars, they'll tell you everything.
I once said PTDF is irresponsible, someone here argued it.

For PTDF scholarship, just get the award. Pray your name appears when they release their list. That's all. Everything is possible. It is highly flexible.
A question now: is it possible or is there any info that they will conclude the process for this year 2020? Thanks emeritus...

We pray for the best, my brother.
No info honestly and that's the most annoying part.
Let's see what happens as from Monday.
