I think we all should be optimistic and calm down...

We musn't discredit someone else' opinions..

Nobody actually knows for sure..


Brother.. I am in the same boat as you.

Applications in France have closed..

Any idea on what to do?

Lolayan:

Please where are you guys seeing the list

Liebermann:
I just figured the lists out. There's a list for GFM and one for UK below.

There's a total of 247 applicants shortlisted from my state. 103 for GFM and 144 for UK.

I have given up. Good luck to you guys.

It's just a project until you publish it on a peer reviewed journal.
I hear in some centres, panelists were there with computers and internet to check if what you claim was published is actually published

Amakaaaaa:
I just wanted to share my experience. I had my interview on Tuesday in Abuja. My field of study is MSC Energy Law and Policy. The interviewers were super friendly. Asked me to present my documents, they looked through each one and inputed scores on their computer. They asked why I didn't have any publication and then told me I had lost marks allotted for publication. They even queried why I belonged to just one professional body. Well, they concluded by asking me to summarize my SOP, detailing what I wanted to study, why I wanted to study it and it's relevance to the Oil and Gas industry.
Truth is, I kind of felt bad about the publication thing, but it's all Good. I wish the rest of you all the best. May God crown you efforts with success.

godthank3434:


I met people from Lagos in Abuja this past Monday. The fact is you don't have any excuse not to show up for the interview. You even have a publication to cover up for the D7.

Na everybody wey come Abuja from Lagos use flight?

Second author or 20th author, the panelist told me let your name just show in the journal when they search it online. Yes, my panelist were fully armed with data and laptop to check the title of your work online so they can verify.

SonyaSpence:


Very formal dressing, it is an interview.

GIGATT9:
Suit...your best bet

SonyaSpence:
--- Be very confident and composed.
--- Know your course and why you have chosen to study it, you also need to know and be ready to explain the link between your chosen course and the Nigerian oil and gas industry.
--- Know your choice university and why you prefer it (explain very reasonably).
--- Take as many certifications and membership as you can lay your hands on, do not neglect any, your interviewers may decide to count all for you.
---- If you have publications, take them along too.

Wishing everyone all the best

Haxeel:
I'm done guys. In PH. Awards not part of this yrs marking. Publications and memberships are key, Waec too and then then some small questions on Ur SOP

nomansland23:
Which of the details are we supposed to use? The one in our portal? Or the one sent to our mail? Anyone?

youngelder:


Boss, can you explain the implications for these?

I chose schools in France.

What's the implication especially for those who haven't gotten admission yet?

Thank you

Pheelixx:
For those considering Germany as their prefeerd study destination and currently don't hold an offer from any german school, kindly note that you're expected to secure the admission yourself. Neither DAAD nor PTDF will assist you with the admission. You can find this info on a document published by DAAD during the 2020 application call. They clearly stated it on the 3rd page. So my advice is that you seek your admissions now. Uni-Assist may take a while, and their process is something else. Try finding schools that accept direct application rather than through Uni-Assist. I got my admission through direct application (HS Darmstadt) but their deadline has elapsed. Fortunately, DAAD gave the option of starting in the winter session (ie January) so you should also consider that.

Good day,

Thank you for contacting us.

Applications through the Etudes en France (Campus France) have closed. Applications reopen from October for next year September (2023) intake.

However, many schools, especially private schools, still accept applications.

Mbembe123:
have anyone gotten admission in any University in Germany?

mrphysics:

For Germany, France, and maybe Malaysia scholars, PTDF does not manage them directly. PTDF manages solely UK scholars directly. For others the Fund relies on third party scholarship bodies for effective and efficient management of the scholars. Thus, for Germany: DAAD, France: Campus France, etc.

So once you have been shortlisted, PTDF will forward the list of the successful candidates to their management body accordingly. For DAAD, because it's usually late, they often open their portal to accommodate new PTDF scholars who will be asked to register with DAAD. They will be shortlisted after checking their files again. After being shortlisted by DAAD, the scholar will now seek for admission and then keep updating their information with DAAD.

In this instance, the role of PTDF will only be to provide you with proof of fund, scholarship award letter (to ease your admission search), and provision of a flight ticket. When you go through DAAD, they will be no need to pay for Visa fee or when you pay, PTDF will refund. For scholars who are not shortlisted for DAAD (Of course this is purely for German Scholars), PTDF will proceed with the process of opening a blocked account for them.

This is how it goes. For French Scholars, the process is easy, you don't need to be shortlisted again by Campus France. PTDF will provide you with your proof of fund, sponsorship letter which will be used to apply for Visa when you are admitted to any school. Campus France will get an accommodation for you, they will plan your trip from the Airport in France to your accommodation.

The monthly stipend is paid by the scholarship management body (DAAD & Campus France).

For UK Scholars, PTDF is their DAAD and Campus France. They sometimes have to fund their trip to the UK and get reimbursed when they land. I mean they go through the entire Nigeria bureaucratic system. But its better than France and Germany because getting admission in UK is pretty easy. You can apply today and get admission today. Also, I think (not sure) that their monthly stipend is better

nony43:
No be joke, our Abuja can not stand toe to toe with Kigali and Nairobi

Lamanii22:
wow! Would love to visit there

Kingzuka:

Please drop your number so that I can give you a call when I'm ready to buy

Folaoni:

How much?

iCauseTrouble:

Yes. It could be. That is why I said depends on seller and location
Someone close to me got for 320k this year from his school mate who sells laptop.
No matter the situation, the price is not less than 300k

iCauseTrouble:

Should be around 300k to 350k depending on the seller and location

Folaoni:


Pre-owned in what sense?

Kingzuka:

DELL 5480 Core i5 or i7?

efembaba:
Hello. I need your informed advice and recommendations.

With a budget of just 130k, what's the best UK/US used system to code?
Note I'm all for speed, durability and running heavy sofwares seemleasly. Thanks for your response

BrodaAgbaya:


Thanks, truly my salary as at now is nothing to write about. After rent, feeding and very little savings there is always nothing left. Might just work towards Germany for next year but i don`t think i`d be going this year.

Lee84:


Bro summit, that's how it is for all previous applicants. No stress yourself

joviegghead:

I don't have any issues.

My application was smooth.
Just curious, but what means of payment did y'all use? Debit card?

joviegghead:

Any progress?

joviegghead:

Any progress?

Simran94:

Wow, you still haven’t been able to apply yet?

joviegghead:

Sad. Hopefully, it will be rectified and successful.

I hate NIN related problems. Problematic and annoying to the bone.

Simran94:

Wow, you still haven’t been able to apply yet?

Simran94:

I was able to verify my NIN later before submitting. Since you already verified before, then you would be able to submit your application
