yes know of someone that received email from them

tempest01:
Any foreign based guys called for interview?

Did they send for AGIP Postgraduate scholarship?

enesi009:
All I know is dat anything dragnet if u are Not successful dey must send u regret mail dat one na dole... So for us still waiting lets keep hoping

When you got yours, was it exam based or interview based?

datascience:
Forget the assumptions you see on social media. I got MSC OSS without publication, I am from the South.

I honestly dont think there is a cut of mark, I will want to assume the computer sorts the application into states and say, selects the top 100 candidates per state for example. So if you have a state that the least out of the top hundred had 88 as his/her total score, that maybe harder to get into compared to a state that the least among the top hundred got 65 or 55 as his/her total score.

Sheddy79:
You mean Katsina state has such a high cut-off mark, implying that some southern sate should have higher cut-off marks, OR, could it be that all the states were given a level playing ground with a cut-off of 60 marks?

I dont know for sure but i've heard this before, not sure if they differentiate because on the portal after filling your results it just differentiates to distinction, credit and pass so I think they award marks to those categories

XtraSmooth404:
Hello...is the point for A1 different from say B2 or B3? Or are A's and B's rated as distinctions?

Goodluck to those interviewing today, please come and post updates on how it went here when you are done

I know an Electrical Engineering person that has been shorlisted, although not PH centre

victory148:
Please has anybody that wrote in PH centre be shortlisted?
Have any Electrical Engineering be shortlisted also?

you got the interview invite?

jayrager:
Is any Met and Mat Engr. applicant also having an interview for monday?

@ceegobe you mentioned final interview invites, but ealier said it'll come in a number of batches. Can you confirm how many batches you are aware of?

FURTHER UPDATE ON PTDF 2019/2020 SCHOLARSHIP
This is to notify candidates that applied for the 2019/2020 PTDF Scholarship Schemes that the screening process is on-going. Upon completion, the full list of shortlisted candidates for the interview phase will be published on PTDF website. The public will be duly notified in national daily Newspapers and other media platforms.

Candidates are therefore advised to disregard any information purporting that the screening and shortlist of candidates have been concluded by PTDF. Source - official PTDF website

Ymin:
Good afternoon.
Please is there any new development on the successful applicants list for the scholarship since we couldn't access the website since last week.

Thanks

you seem new to the process, you wont know until June or July

Ppretty:
I doubt the nominations have been finalised yet. If it has, we would have received mail, weather congratulatory on being nominated or regretful for not being nominated. I don't know why it is taking so long, it's almost two months since the nomination interview. [color=#770077][/color]

They've contacted those they want to contact, let's hope it is by batches, if not we move on.

So what date is the interview for those of you that have received invite? was it from ExxonMobil or dragnet themselves? and which location did you write your exam?

Haven't gotten anything yet

Quite keen on knowing the disciplines of those who received the invites, haven't received anything yet.

What does it say? any stage after this or it is just success mail to pick up offer letter?

ImLegitt:
Success mail dropping in now !!

No one received mail, it was just word of mouth, I believe the mails should have been sent earlier this week, but as a result of election stuff, that may have delayed it

edude:
Please o, its like i have been sleeping on a bike.
I just came back to this thread now, only to realise people have updated centre locations. Please o, is it that you guys received an sms/mail like last year to update centre location cause i was waiting for that but i didn't get any. now i tried logging in only to see "the portal has closed, try again later".

please o, the question is
1) did u guys receive any sms/mail instructing you to update your centres
2) how do i know if i was shortlisted

please anybody can answer me.Thanks

Haha okay now

stynhaq:
Compensation is not on par. You people assume too much.

wait let's be clear here, this is a "graduate engineering role", and yes I understand the living conditions side of it. Truth is people who have similar calibre jobs already secured won't bother, but those who have lower paying jobs will apply and take the test. Mind you how much do you think the "trainee" salary for ExxonMobil is?

Since it is a graduate role, this is targeted at recent graduates, or people who have went to the US/UK/Worldwide for postgraduate study etc

datascience:
Not so.
Jobs are easier got anywhere if you are qualified except for UK due to their immigration law being too stringent.

Lets be factual here. You wouldn't relinquish a job in UAE to be paid trainee salary in Nigeria where even the living conditions are harsh. The guys in Exxonmobil here in Nigeria are looking out to go to Canada. So you get the logic?

Thirdly, you are being paid according to MOBIL NIGERIA.

Yes some have solid game plan, some don't. The chances that one will get a job similar to ExxonMobil as a foreigner is slim, so you might as well try the same opportunity in your own country. The way you guys are saying "trainee" like you are underestimating this particular ExxonMobil opportunity. I know people who are working in other reputable oil & gas companies and have about 2-3 years experience who applied for this role. It is because they know about the industry and what they stand to gain. Goodluck

Ccanyanwu:
My brother
I share same thoughts with you
Before you step out of this country you should have a solid game plan
But when I see peeps in Houston, Australia UAE struggling for this same graduate Trainee jobs I can't help but wonder. Kai

The role is for exxonmobil nigeria, so those selected will work in Nigeria

stanisbaratheon:
But Exxon Mobil is a global company naw, and as such have branches scattered all over the world. It doesn't mean those writing their test in the middle east will come to Nigeria to work. Chill guys chill.

First you have to understand that this isn't just any other job. This is an ExxonMobil opportunity, a company ranked #2 in the Fortune 500 and #9 in the Fortune Global 500. A lot of people who know what the opportunity means will apply for it depending on whatever job or opportunity they currently have. Mind you the compensation is on par with their peers in other ExxonMobil companies around the world

datascience:
I dont understand.
You are in UAE and you will still want Naija jobs?

You are in Houston, you still want Naija trainee jobs?

UK, I understand. Those ones whould return after studies.

Sorry oo, people are just not satisfied

In the initial form they sent people to select their preferred location, 80% of countries around the world were on that list. The fact that something does not apply to you does not mean it is untrue. Dragnet organised the ones for lagos, abuja, uyo, ph, london and houston around the same period, that is why they were grouped together in the face of testing portal.

Fremaxx:
Lol I hope you saw dragnet message when selecting location and country. UAE was not in the list. It's really surprising that there is a test centre in UAE. When he mentioned graduate engineer UAE, I thought it was for Mobil UAE obviously.

Let me show you proof to clear that I am not making this up

@freemax I hope you can see it is just not me saying this?

Faloh:
Exxon mobil just sent mail to candidates in middle east to write in Dubai. So I guess the graduate engineer stuff might still take a while. Their exam is next week Thursday.

You are clearly wrong. This is the SAME Graduate Engineering position in Nigeria we are talking about. From the thread on here, we can confirm they wrote the test for Graduate Engineer in 1. Lagos 2. PH 3. Uyo. 4. Abuja 5. Houston 6. London so why do you think they didnt write in UAE?I can confirm that they are writing the same dragnet we are writing in UAE and Australia and until those people are done, there will be no mails

Fremaxx:
I just have to say something about your speculation. Mobil Nigeria is not recruiting for Mobil UAE. You are telling us rubbish. This recruitment process in Nigeria has no business with the UAE recruitment. It's misleading for you to keep hammering this UAE recruitment. You're clearly saying what you don't know. Please restrict yourself to Nigeria recruitment. Following UAE recruitment is pointless. A word is enough for the wise.

No, applications closed February 18, so give it like 2 or more weeks

odi104:
Has anyone heard back after their application?

Confirmed today that UAE United Arab Emirates guys are writing on the 28th, so until everyone is done for graduate category I doubt that there will be any mails, looking towards 1st week or 2nd week of March

tosomaju:
Congrats. this is progress in the whole recruitment process. Mails should start rolling in for the graduate guys anytime soon

Perhaps they are still working on the system, maybe they will send out mails soon to successful candidates

Lekan6ix:
I tried to log in but is saying application is now closed, check back later. why is it so please?

you cannot know the date yet until PTDF releases the schedule, you can check the previous thread for the venue but it is mostl likely university of portharcourt PTDF centre if they have one

toroabasietim94:
Pls..i was shortlisted..how do i know the particular venue in PH and what date

No oh, just found someone who got shortlisted for both

Yildiz:
it seems if you apply for both you only get shortlisted for local. Probably because it was the first applied. I think they use that as a way to reduce the candidates

No it is not, I applied for overseas only and I logged in to select centre

bilal4riid:
I think this is for local only
