sadiik45:
Ahh, I have not receive oo, put me for prayer. I hope to see mine too.

My brother has also been shortlisted for Msc.
He is lucky to have been shortlisted for both LSS Msc and OSS Msc.

Aremson14:
If any msc has seen please let us know. Biko

Yes sir, I'm lucky to be shortlisted.

Adamuarewa:
Please house any PhD candidate that got shortlisted should indicate please.

Thank you

Forget about them brother. They are just here displaying their ignorance. Who told you applying for separate categories of the scholarship is prohibited? Please talk only when you have a knowledge of the subject matter. You are only restricted from applying more than one for the same category. But if it is different categories it is perfectly okay. Even UK and GFC were different applications before 2018 and one can apply for each. I even applied for the two but was not successful then. We were told during our induction that the entire selection process is computerized. Double application means computer will automatically disqualify you and you will not even be shortlisted for interview.
Please make your findings well before spitting words to a public domain like this.

sadiik45:
MULTIPLE APPLICATION in this context means apply same category of scholarship more than one time. That is multiple of LSS or multiple of OSS.

This number 3 is not true. I was shortlisted for both LSS and OSS interview in 2018, and was made it to OSS.

2. Since you have been offered admission or waiting for offer letter, no problem on the PTDF scholarship. When you get the scholarship, you will provide the necessary docs.

3. If you get LSS, forget the OSS application, .You can only be shortlisted for one application.

[Thanks a lot]

Everybody is playing "may be game". Who has certainty he/she would be among the successful applicants? Nobody. It is a game of chance. They usually shortlist more than 100 applicants from a state for interview. Everyone's chance is slim. You only need God favor to make it to the final list.

tundeloveday:
If you are awaiting Ptdf email or being a beneficiary this year and u don’t already have a conditional offer by now, it’s your choice to be unprepared when the list is out. I understand a lot are playing ‘maybe game’ on the scholarship..... other scholarships don’t give an opportunity to use the award in another session... or at most you can only postpone using it for maximum a year.

It is not beneficiaries choice. Results of successful awardees were released late July last year. How can they make it to September intake of same year?
All these late departures are as a result of unnecessary delays in conducting interviews and release of final list of awardees.

tundeloveday:
It’s the beneficiary’s choice.... doesn’t have anything to do with Ptdf planning

My brother is also wondering on this. I just asked him to be patient and await update from PTDF. PTDF don't try at all. According to the mails they sent interview is starting today, but no interview and they kept mute instead of sending another mail that will counter the first one.

Haxeel:
Pls LSS that are meant to start interview today. What's d update?

I swear this guy is funny! How on Earth can ADPAF president speaks for PTDF an entirely different and independent body? Please post only reasonable things in a public domain like this. People will be laughing at you....

AloL23:
I am referring to Overseas Scholarship Scheme (OSS) being suspended not Local Scholarship Scheme (LSS). The source of the information is from a top professional in the Oil and Gas Industry, Dr. Charles Ayoka. He is currently the president of ADPAF (Association of Drilling Professionals of Africa). I won't come here to drop fake news. I didn't mention the source of information initially because, I didn't want to make public Dr. Charles Ayoka name. Thank you.

From which of the television stations did you get the information please? Let us confirm it from our side. Thank you

AloL23:
Good morning... following invites sent to LSS applicants, information is that OSS as been suspended due to foreign exchange issues. This was said in a statement by PTDF on television. We can only be hopeful that FOREX market indices, play in our favour. This is the much I can confirm. Any genuine updates will do. Thank you.

Actually I don't know what to do.... The thing is confusing. I advise you people should keep on waiting further directives from PTDF.

Usmanbaro:
Since we didn't receive another email for the scheduled interview and the initially one was to commence 9th, can we go to PTDF building Abuja on the 9th??

PTDF has not yet contacted anyone with regards LSS interview schedules and the interview is starting next week Monday according to the last mail received. Well, I don't know their arrangement but shortlisted applicants are supposed to receive another email with the details of their interview date and time latest today. Because some are traveling from a far place. And there is no any mail that counter the earlier interview scheduled date.

Try accessing your profile please, its now going through.

Same 500 words, but you can make changes to it if need be or even change it completely with a better one if available.

sadiik45:
How is the updated version of SOP like. Is it same maximum of 500 words or there's room for supplements?

I advise we wait patiently, they will contact us with regards OSS interview. They can't be doing two things at a time. As I said earlier all the interviews (LSS and OSS) should be done within May God willing. They may continue OSS interview immediately they are done with LSS applicants. They can't just cancel the OSS like that. As you await invites, try to improve your SOP (if you apply for Msc) and RP (if you apply for PhD). They will give room for information update as they did for local applicants so that you can use the updated version of your SOP or RP. I learned there are newbies in this forum because if you know nairaland before you can testify that many people emerged victorious every year. But keep in mind that for every race there are winners and losers as well. Some people do ask about accommodation and admission. Please forget everything for now and just concentrate on your interview. Securing the scholarship is far more difficult than any other things. Just pray hard and do your best. Finally, ensure to master your SOP and RP. Thank you!

Yes, because you have the two applications in a single account, I'm talking to those who have only applied for the oversea scholarship.

Usmanbaro:
I checked the OSS status under View. But nothing was there yet. The LSS has an Update and View.

It seems all overseas scholarship application accounts have been locked. Anyone who is able to login for his/her oversea portal?

They will start it immediately after this one. They may start sending mails next week for the oversea

Haxeel:
When for overseas pls

Mails have started dropping for local scholarship scheme interview.

I'm a beneficiary of ptdf Msc scholarship and nobody has ever asked me for transcript, right from interview to induction. This is just a formality. I have friends that are PhD scholars and none of them was mandated to bring transcript.

sadiik45:
You need it. when you're called for interview. They'll ask for it.

None of the LSS or OSS applicants is invited for interview yet. But I believe invites for interview will soon start dropping, God willing. Some asked wether ASUU strike can affect the interview, which I strongly believe will not. Some also asked if official transcript is mandatory during interview. Well, a times they do ask for it, mostly for PhD applicants because Msc certificates (statement of results) do not indicate class of degree. But still official transcript is not necessary during interview. Let's just engage ourselves in prayers because this scholarship is highly competitive and one needs divine intervention to be among the successful applicants. Thank you

The silence from PTDF is unusual, can't figure out why. They usually make invite in March and the actual interview takes place in April. This year's own is different. Lets just wait and see what happens next month. Maybe the interview will be sometimes around May. Don't forget prayers as you wait cos the scholarship is highly competitive as they said. Thank you.

If you can get the certificate before the interview then you are good to go.

owenabuka:
The person will pass out before the start of the Masters program

Expect the final list around June/July.

BBShehu:
This selection process might exceed march?

Please say only what you know brother! It seems this is your first time of applying for PTDF scholarship and you never bother to ask people with experiences. Many people here are beneficiaries of PTDF scholarship and they will just be laughing at you for gathering confidence just to say something you don't have an iota of idea.

Slyprof:
You are right my friend, admission will be automatic. However, if you have secured admission already you will secure more marks during the interview

Make sure you publish your papers in high index journals, else they will earn you zero marks in PTDF interview. Look for journals like Elsevier, Springer, IEEE, etc. Thank you!

Emmypromise:
INVITATION

If you applied for programs related to renewable energy, I'm inviting you write and publish relevant papers with me. We can publish up to 3 papers before the interview. This, I believe will help us both to a very large extend. 08067446117

PTDF usually conducts its interviews March ending to early April. This is based on the experiences from previous years and the results usually come out in June. Anyway, let's wait and see what happens this year. May we be among the successful ones. I remained FatimaMK....
