Take it or leave it, PTDF OSS is a competition and only a very few from the thousands that applied will get it. Don't deceive yourself.

out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh, be it unto you according to your words. #amdonewiththis

Lol Nigerians have two problems, tribalism and religion. We just don't like being real and true to ourselves. I state things the way they are, and whether you like it or not, it's none of my business.

Some people have two problems 1. Lack of Understanding 2. Excess lack of understanding, i state things the way they are and whether you like it or not its non of my Business

blueyuchay:
Good day all. Please can anyone help me answer these questions as I am really confused

1. Must I go to the school for which I uploaded it's admission letter. I have an offer from a uni in UK already but am expecting another offer from another school which is actually my preferred choice.

2. Does NDDC pay to individual or school account?

Thank you.

Maybe you should ask 2016 thread, i dont know much...does anybody know?

Anfieldboss:


I just had to remind you, this is a public forum, PTDF examiners can easily access information here. Just be mindful. Once again I'm not against you giving tips.

what if they access information here? if I am correct that is exactly what you are doing here!

HSE and maybe Environmental engineering try to check, MCLs or TLVs of criteria contaminants in air (NOx, Sulfur oxide, CO, Ozone, Lead and PM) and water. TLVs of a train subway.
practise with Environmental Engineering questions from http://www.indiabix.com/chemical-engineering/environmental-engineering/discussion-7839

"I think Environmental Engineering and HSE had the same set of questions." That's the statement I got from a friend that sat for Environmental Engineering last year. I'm not sure 'bout it though.

Those were my initial posts.

Thank you, you've been helpful

Anfieldboss:


As you're giving tips, don't forget this is a competition and only 4 slots are available for grabs in your state. I'm not against giving tips but be discreet. God help us all. If you like quote me, I have said my own.

I have known your name, Anfieldboss....I have known you as a person set to create doubt and negativity in the heart of many here on this platform. you read other peoples post, read the information they get, but when you see an actual person rendering help to those that need it, you remind him that this is a competition. let me remind you that the only competition in life is a competition with YOURSELF not with the next person. if you see this as a competition, then its sad, because your chances are limited to only 4 Slots, for those of us who sees it as an opportunity, the possibilities are endless......if you are smart you would get the message, count your teeth with your tongue.

Mine went through without any stress yesterday evening.
I used Chrome browser in my phone.

Just make sure ALL your documents are below 50kb.

can we scan the admission letter in black and white as I do not have a colored printer to print from

Check previous pages of the thread.

cant find it

Nice one. For petroleum engineering questions, last year questions weren't actually thermal enhanced oil recovery so to say, the questions were more of production engineering. Flow patterns in vertical and horizontal pipes (their characteristics, how they are formed and so on), wax precipitation (cloud point, pour point, etc), maybe 3-5 calculation questions(API gravity and so on). About 30+ true or false questions, questions with options (the options look ambiguous but its not). Some questions are exact opposite of another question (so if u miss one, u will likely miss the second one), some questions are set twice (maybe 1or2). In a nutshell, prepare for important parts of PE and at the same do not neglect those seemingly unimportant parts. Those going for Sedimentary basin and evolution make sure you read sedimentary environments and their features, types of basins and their formation maybe tectonic plates too sha. Wish you GOD's best.

what should HSE people read oh

DSSHQ:
1.There are no recent past questions for the examination in public domain. PTDF has no fixed pattern per se. Questions change always especially for the subject specific areas.The examiners are Professionals. Study smart.
2.The examination is very competitive. Little things matter and can swing the tide in your favour.
3.No option is easy as you think.Focus on your area. The questions are usually simple ( not hard) but can be tricky. Sometimes, the question types can be loop -sided. For example, Petroleum engineering will just focus on thermal enhanced oil recovery methods, Renewables on biofuels, Design of rotating machines on Welding, Environmental engineering on TLVs etc.
4. Most states are very competitive. So people score very high and they do not make it for this reason.
5. Group the various areas into many smaller groups.Then , you can have an idea of where you fall under and the questions you will likely answer.
6.I'm not sure the budget had too much to do with the delay. There's some internal restructuring going on in PTDF. Some people were sacked because of corruption.
7. PhD hopefuls like us need to just be at their best. Very competitive selection process.
8.Pray and ask God to crown your effort with success. Many people need this as you do too. Something has to tilt the balance in your favour.

I hope this helps someone. I compiled these information from some past scholars, members of the internal caucus of ptdf and from people who have attempted the exams previously. Cheers

what will Hse Focus on Please

I am a bit confused, HSE and Environmental Engineering have different modules according to all i have been seeing, why then do you feel we should read the same things

thank you

i cant find HSE questions on indiabix

YungMike:
I got the follow up email. God see us through. Amen.
Scheduled for Wednesday.

please you guys that are set to attend the interview on Wednesday should help us small, by telling us questions asked on that day, abeg abeg abeg abeg, i don tire to stay for house

Anfieldboss:
People are here asking for Past questions, How sure are you guys this exam will still hold?

you are quite skeptical about this exam, as it is your free will to err your views on a subject i urge you not to discourage those who still have faith in this exam. can we please have a Positive mind set??

Ayopedro:
please forward questions on HSE to me.

Be honest with me, has your preparation not drop since their silence. Nobody can prepare in top gear for something that is not certain yet. There was a particular year PTDF did not award scholarship, they had to combine applicants from that year with the following year. Let's not deceive ourselves, we are human beings, as much as we hope, we should also state things the way they are.

I'm sorry but I sincerely do not understand how deception comes into play, yes it has been difficult to study since there isn't an actual date, but my question remains "How does anxiety help? " My dear focus that energy on something else that is worth your while like how you are going to come out top in your state and earn the actual scholarship. No matter how long it takes to fix a date, you will still right the test, focus on how to pass.

Anfieldboss:
April is almost gone, and no news from PTDF. By this time last year they were already through with tests for MSc and interviews for PhD.

What's happening this year

lets always try to look at the brighter side of things, if they are yet to set a date for the test it actually gives us more time to prepare and pray about it. i think we should be more concerned about acquiring the scholarship, being in a haste to write the CBT wouldn't help...lets try not to be anxious.....curiosity is to cats.....as anxiety is to----------------- lol...it is well by God's Grace

DMainMan:


There will still be overseas scholarship but
dose who chose free tuition in brasil and Germany, or has free tuition or low tuition has higher chance of studying overseas.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION

We have noticed that so many bloggers copy from our page and attribute it to theirs without any reference to us e.g. last year post; ( https://www.nairaland.com/2828946/2016-ptdf-overseas-scholarship-check). Several bloggers copied it word for word and even misled others without any reference: https://nigerianscholars.com/2016/01/check-shortlisted-for-2016-ptdf-overseas-scholarships.html http://www.edificationinfo.com/2015/12/2016-ptdf-overseas-scholarship-check-if.html e.t.c

Hence, we will create a blog soon to curb plagiarism where we can report to the liable authorities and more importantly divulge correct secret information about scholarship and job aptitude tests discreetly as we had misunderstanding with SHL in the past, so stay tuned. Meanwhile at present, for scholarship updates and other key opportunities, come to our facebook page (http://facebook.com/dmainmanfoundation) and like it to follow.

We wish you all very best in your tests and interviews.

Regards,

please please i need your help terribly, i had a friend who was lucky enough to get the PTDF Scholarship, he is currently in manchester studying, he was my guide to my application for the scholarship,but now we've lost touch and i can no longer contact him, i have no doubt that i will be shortlisted this year for 2017/2018 academic section, i have an admission from Birmingham to study HSE, i am new to nairaland also, can you please tell me what to expect in this forthcoming exam, if u have last years questions for HSE applicants Kindly Share, i will be eternally grateful. Please Please Please, i am desperate. i would also like to apply for NDDC scholarship as i am from the niger delta region, although that is not out now...kindly asist my email is sunshineeyes16@gmail.com

DMainMan:

of course but apply to only very cheap schools unless u have money to go for the best. I don't really know about US schools

please do you know or have anything on HSE, i would really appreciate it, thanks.

rocoh:


If same company will organise d exam then note the following:

-No Current Affairs
-Just English and Geology( Read about sedimentology, Depositional Environment, Niger Delta,Stratigraphy/sequence stratigraphy and (basic geology not too much)
Answer questions u are sure of only.
No mathematics .

Then PRAY.
