Debbiebest:




Please help,do I need transit visa for this .PLEASE REPLY ASAP


Please help 🙏😢😭

Yes. The only time it should be 'yes' is if you have received a previous visa/BRP to be with her in the UK

spininaroundsun:


Thank you for your response.

Further clarification, please.

You meant, the answer to the first question should be "no" since we, the dependents are presently in Nigeria and her, the MA is in the UK?

The answer is no for the first one if you guys are in Nigeria

spininaroundsun:
Hello everyone,

I require some assistance with filling out visa application forms for myself and our children. We are dependent on my wife, who is currently in the UK since last week on student visa.

On my application form, should I answer 'Yes and No' to both questions in the screenshots below?, I am so confused here.

maclatunji:


Ok O, the people that need the service will respond, don't worry.

Recruitment that is pretty much done, this coaching advert came too late

I'm sorry but your personal opinion doesn't count here - multiple people have received emails. This isn't the first time PTDF is making a mistake. As someone that knows exactly how last year's email looked like, this is clearly not last year's email

achemep:
I strongly feel some scammers edited some shit and decided to spread it. I may be wrong but honestly a Govt. Agency like PTDF won't sent half-baked mails.
Again my personal opinion

Hi Idris, please take this down as the award notification page is an exposed socket where anyone with the URL can see your details

idris0071:
There was a typo on the email I.e 2022/2023. But the Award letter reads 2023/2024

because PTDF made a mistake, this isn't the first time they've made a mistake. The emails have been sent to selected candidates. The list will probably be published tomorrow

Ikpok:
Congratulations to them. But why's it saying 2022/2023 and not 2023/2024

Yes

Raheeqilmaktoom:
Dont want to raise the thread but, is this from the last recruitment exercise? omo.

PTDF and the rest of them don't have the same funding structure. Go and check

EdoBoy90:



Soon, I will be commenting from afar.

Exchange rate is affecting everyone includes PTDF and TETFUND.

TETFUND applicants have moved on already.

NDDC applicants have moved on already.

Any information on Instrument & Control engineers?

Instrument Engineer, CTM - CTM Assurance
Senior Inst Engineer - IPF Test & SPI Asrn B & C

As it stands, someone earlier said second week in September. That news is looking very credible given recent developments

Do they correspond to actual application numbers? or they just spoofed it to give a sense of legitimacy. If I recall correctly PTDF published a list of interviewees and their corresponding numbers sometime last year - it could be that is what they used to give an impression that it is the current application

in123:


the question is how did they even get applicants emails and application numbers / profiles?

If I remember correctly, it was Octave006 that told us exactly when the list would come out last year. I think he is a credible source of information on PTDF matters

interesting, can you share shots of what those mails look like? I think they're fakes because I don't think PTDF portal shows shortlisted on the interface if you get it

Rehguy:


The letter shared did the whole damage? What of the email some people have been receiving with their application numbers and pictures, telling them to pay 1.5m for MSc and 3m for PhD?

Like I get ordinarily it would be termed scam email but how did the scammers get access to confidential information like the application numbers and photos and interfaces that looks like PTDFs saying shortlisted??

I agree the letter shouldn’t have been shared recklessly but that mail scares me more.

Edit button has always been there. However that references section appears to be a significant development. Did you apply to Germany/France?

lloyds6:
Everyone seems to be posting but no one is sure.

However, I will only talk about my observation on Saturday, August 19, 2023 between 4.30 - 5.30 pm.

I logged in and I saw another menu tagged 'References'. I clicked on it and saw what was written that the section is for German Applicants Only. I clicked it and I was presented with a form to input Academic or Professional References. Since I had not gotten any information about the scholarship, I did not fill.

Later, the References Menu disappeared. I traced the URL and tried accessing but I noticed that access had been restricted.

There is also something strange I notice on the portal under the Academic Information Menu. I noticed the Edit Button. I am not sure if it had been there before or it was recent. I know that anytime it is clicked, there is access restriction.
