I didn't see any invitation email but I saw an email early this month telling me to update my interview center presence. However, when I saw on the news that interview has started I went straight to my portal. Lol and behold my interview time was yesterday 21 and time is 12noon. But it was late already. I don't know if there's still interview today and if I can still go. I live in Ife my interview is Ibadan

I also got the rescheduled message but I haven't got any before

please someone to help me in the house. I've forgotten my password and no room to reset any way out Please?

Omexx:
Please what number did you use to contact them

the one on their page where they wrote whstsapp I contacted them on whatsapp

ExpertNLer:
So will you be allowed to interview? Or they've cancelled your application ?

cancelled
that was why they locked my account

maganiyu:


I am having the same challenge. Have you resolved yours, what's the way forward?

They've contacted me. They said I registered twice, that's actually true but I only submitted one
unfortunately their system does not automatically delete the unsubmitted

Pr0cter:


Your post is not valid jor!

Don't quote me again pls

I wonder why you're just arguing, the guy is more experienced and most of us who have really witnessed reality in ptdf also said it is possible but you insisted. I'll only submit by telling the one asking the question to do whatsoever seems good to him

Christiana9:
My school said they cannot send my transcript directly to me, and I need to upload it, how will I go about it?

they'll give you student copy, but you must first apply for original, just put the name of a place there, you may use ptdf or any other address, thereafter you'll get the student copy.
I'll also advise u, if possible please don't use etx if ur school uses it
This is the idea, school like OAU use etx, but if you're sending to the same school they'll process it themselves and not to use etx, so find out very well before u proceed

Pr0cter:



He won't get shortlisted. Most with complete document don't even get shortlisted

Please don't discourage this guy,
we've given a lot of such instances here, people are always shortlisted if they have other requirements, he should just upload the Call up letter,

Kome4:
I'm not a member of a professional body currently. Can I apply for an msc scholarship with ptdf?

Except if they'll really use professional certificate this year, up to last year they didn't use it, they only include it in their advert
the main requirements are
Class of graduation
O'level (for shortlisting)
Awards
Publications
SOP

hinere:
Please I have one other question....
1) If someone gets accepted for this program, travels, studies and finishes, can the person stay back in that country and work?

This is because it will be sad to go over there, study and them come back here to start hustling all over again.

I went for a job interview sometime back and the guy sitting next to me studied in UK through all this programs but he was sponsored by relatives. He then finished and came back and started hustling for jobs here in Nigeria. In my mind, why didn't you just stay back in UK and work but he said they told them to return to their home country after studying.

So if this program entails scholars to return back to their home country after studying, then what's the point of travelling then?
This is because 90% of Nigerians applying for this scholarship just want to leave Nigeria for good. The program is just more or less a gateway to move out for them or am I lying?

UK is more strict in this area, but until last year, ptdf is not actually too concerned about this, so you can stay back and work although this may have time frame

biosystech:
I can't say as I've barely applied for it but from what I've read, it's not compulsory. Ask the OP what he thinks.

Sorry

Not compulsory for now

Pr0cter:



PTDF is highly competitive. They only shortlist those with complete documents including nysc certificate

that's not true bro, I know someone who got the award without uploading NYSC discharge at the beginning, anyone who has good document but serving should apply, you will only need NYSC during interview

From my experience, I discovered this TOTAL scholarship doesn't take longer time before they shortlist, and to those who have not applied, you're free to ask questions from those who have applied. We'll guide you through. I pray success for everyone in Jesus name.

ExpertNLer:
Yes, but they will prefer someone to have the certificate before they conclude exams/interviews

Apply first and stop doubting, it doesn't cost u anything after all. before you travel, your certificate would be ready at least

Chemgeek6:

Thank you all,
I also received the same mail yesterday from ma'am Sophia, i chatted her up and she said that the deadline for uploading the admission letter is in August. So i believe we can begin to seek admission from our respective schools, except if we make certain that PTDF will on the behalf of successful candidates make applications for us(by God's Grace).
Although application for admission to Kiel University which is one of the school i chosed has closed since 1st march -i got to discover this on seeing the mail from ma'am Sophia yesterday.
Please for those who are beneficiary of the MSc Germany OSS please what do you suggest we do?

In fact I've not understood the essence of the message DAAD sent me. under admission letter they wrote Sophia Merz,
to those who received the message, what are we expected to do?

mrphysics:

This is great boss. Thanks for your time and comment. I tried applying next year but forgot until it was over. Is the interview a written test or normal interactive session with a panel/committee?

I will go for the interview by God's Grace and hope for the best.

I wouldn't know if the response I got after I submitted my interview location is what others get. The response reads "PTDF xxxx says your profile has been updated" or something similar. Someone should confirm.

That's the normal response you should get, it means you've updated

mvem:
..CV, transcript, motivation letter, degree cert, time schedule and recommendation letter

I've been hearing Time Schedule from every angle, can anyone explain this and what Nigerians need to actually upload in-lieu

Abokii8:
so awards and publications won't be used this time?

I guess that specification is for invitations for interview so during interviews
The awards and the publications will be checked

[quote author=Donelli post=74775436]
Not sure but what was checked for mine (Masters) are degree certificate, NYSC cert, WAEC cert, NPC birth cert, academic transcript(I had mine, not sure if it's compulsory at this time) and then your 4 passport photos on white background. I also had ID letter from LGA but it wasn't checked but it's part of requirements so have it with you. [/quote
please do they make Birth certificate from NPC Compulsory?
Am having issue with that they said those of us above 17yrs couldn't get it unless we pay huge amount of money

Mosthansum:
I know its kinda late.. however, I can’t really locate where to attach my Masters (MSc) degree project as stated by PTDF for PhD applicants

Any immediate response will be highly appreciated

You can edit your application after submission
go to the top left and click the three lines, then click my application, then edit my application

jjohndoe83:

Nice perspective. Unfortunately, I have submitted but removed the letter before submitting. I was sceptical about misrepresenting the scenario. I think it would have passed for a recognition not necessarily an award.

Take it along during interview if you're shortlisted, it will be recorded for you if its acceptable

Linklas:
please must our Cbt centre be in our Zones of origin? I am from edo and I chose kwara as my Cbt centre because it is closer to me. is that permitted? hope I am not making mistake? because they said Cbt centre of choice

You can do ur CBT/INTERVIEW anywhere. Choose a place close to ur resident

YemziAdez:
I've submitted my application.

Please how do we know if we've been invited (if I'm correct) for the CBT test? Further, how are we to know the exact location where the test will take place in our selected states?

It seems they'll contact us via SMS or email as has been stated in previous posts.

I look forward to a response from recipients of the Scholarship and/or previous applicants.

Regards.

No message, no email. Just note the interview date and go for the test.They will use the test and your certificates as shown on your print out and documents to screen you

Elektra1177:
Hey guys. I'm interested in the BEA scholarship. I'll be 18 in April, 2019. Sad thing is I sorta finished school early so my WAEC certificate will be three years old by 2019. I had five A's and four B's. Do I still stand a chance?

That's not a burden but a blessing, they are mostly concerned with upper limit (35 or 40). Do apply and never hesitate to do.
Also try to get past questions in that area, to boost your chances

scarplanet:


Following a paper publication, you should be issued an E-certificate of publication for free.
You can also choose to get a hardcopy certificate but you will have to pay for it.

If you havent been given the e-certificate, send a mail to the journal.

But i will advise you to print your paper publication when going for the interview (if called). The interview panelist might not really appreciate the certificate of publication.

Cheers.

of course they only need the front page, the photocopy of the front page is ok

AKB1:


So kind of you. thanks

SOP is important but not a criteria for shortlisting
For those asking about the likely questions, it's just like your normal project defence in school the question will be according to what you present and few other related thing that come to their mind.

DMainMan:

Apply. Upload your nysc posting letter there

Don't limit yourself. apply, the same thing happened to a guy this year and he got the scholarship
