Good luck to you all. I attended, passed and got recruited in 2012.
Pls keep the CV you submitted when you applied for the test, it's likely most of the questions you will be asked will come from your cv.
Be smart, I mean wear a good suit and tie and confidently answer questions you are asked, even if you aren't sure of your self remain confident in your response.
The interview session is done in a pretty relaxed setting, win the panel over with a smile and try to prolong the discussion.
A huge fraction will be recruited without knowing anyone. Rely on your ability and preparedness.
Pray, yes pray only about 10% will make the final cut. Federal character will be used but that doesn't translate to all states having equal number. It's also based on the current demographic.

Important tip, thanks

For those that are yet to get the text message invite for the NNPC interview, I just sent an e-mail to them now (today, 20/2/2015) and I got a reply from them. If you have lost your e-mail address or phone number, it will be good for you to also read this.

This is what the message says:

Dear Candidate,

This is to acknowledge receipt of your email.

We will be contacting successful candidates in batches between February 18-21, 2015 by SMS. An email containing the details of the oral interviews will be sent by 24/02/15. You are advised to check your inbox/spam/junk boxes by the mentioned date.

NOTES:

(1) If you receive an SMS, please note that the interviews will hold in Abuja; you are advised to prepare for your logistics accordingly.

(2) If you no longer have access to the email address you provided during application, we advise that you send in the accurate email address immediately to 'nnpc-recruitment@phillipsconsulting.net'. Such email should have a subject line as follows: "Change of email address/GT" or "Change of email address/OP" or "Change of email address/EH" - whichever is appropriate for the job you applied for. Receipt of SMS will not guarantee entry into the interview venue.

Unsuccessful candidates will be reached appropriately afterwards.

We wish you the very best.

Hi,
Do you have an idea on the allowances @Douglas.

I received the message and I thank God for that. But I am considering to refused to go for the interview. I am better of now than 2010, it still pains me of the transport money they promised me for the last interview and never paid.

May be there was a problem with your bank details, I was paid mine, but like over a year after the interview.

Below is the post by @ Syenite in 2011

"Congrats to those that have received invitations. Over 4,000 candidates(can't remember the exact figure now) made it to the interview stage.

Firstly NNPC recruitment in based on quota system. Almost equal number of applicants will be taken from all the states and FCT. This implies that you are competing against people from your state.And this will in turn go down to LGA by LGA.So if you have a family member or a cousin in the race it means u are virtually fighting for one slot.
Under this system situations arises where a Candidate from State A with 50% score in the interview will be employed while a candidate from State B with 80% score might not be employed. So those of you from educationally developed states should brace up for the challenge.I am sure you know those states

What to equip yourself with:
When NNPC was established and under what decree
NNPC's Core Businesses
NNPC Subsidiaries and their operational functions
The Refineries and their various Refining capacities
Which of the NNPC subsidiaries u'll like to work with and why?
Why do you want to work with the NNPC.
Why do you want to work in the Oil industry
Why do you want to leave your former place of work(if you are already working)
Where do you hope to be in 10years time?
Understand your discipline and how you can apply it in the oil industry
Know the name of the current and immediate past GMD
Expect that you’ll be asked atleast one basic question about your discipline
Know where the head quarters of each of the Subsidiaries are located say Benin, Warri, Lagos etc.
Research the operations of the Subsidiaries so you’ll know which one you can fit in.(I am currently working with the subsidiary I mentioned during my interview so take your time to research,though it does not totally follow)

Look smart and composed. It’s usually a friendly interview and note that your line of discussion will mostly go in line with your responses so be sure of what to say. But please don’t be too confident else you’ll sound arrogant.

I’m speaking from experience. The above where questions asked me and some of my colleagues who I am working with now. So expect most of the questions to come from them.
Know that NNPC will not take everybody.
Best of God. I hope to meet you as colleagues soon."

Can some1 help with the likely interview questions ?

See a narration of my 2011 interview above.... For a slight insight on the pattern of questions.

Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Nnpc Recruitment Interview by jimngam(op): 11:01pm On Feb 18, 2015*

I attended the 2011 interview, below is my record of what transpired (I didn't remember all these now, am not Mike Ross from Suits.... lol. I posted it in one of the threads back then);

"I had mine yesterday, I'm an economist, the interview was cooI, here is a summary: a panel of 7 people, headed by a chairman, they asked me to introduce (sell) myself, wen I did and mentioned that I'm currently workin wiwith a bank, I was asked to comment on the Nigerian bankin industry, as I was commenting I mentioned the global financial meltdown, and was askd whether I think the world was out of the woods yet, after responding, they asked a discipline related question, that what are the major components of microecons, I said Demand and Supply, was asked to define them, then I was asked what elasticity of Demand is, I told them and gave an example of a unitary elasticity of demand (insulin), was askd if elasticity of demand can be -ve, I told them it can be -ve, +ve or unitary, was asked wen it is -ve (cudnt remember immidiately), told them I can'treally rememba and dont want to mix them up, then I was asked the corebusiness of NNPC, I said exploration and refining, was asked what subsidiaries carry out each, I said NPDC (explexploration ) and KRPC (refining). Then I was asked some products of KRPC I said PMS, diesel, LPG, and Kero(domestic and aviation) I was asked my gross annual and net monthly salaries, den lastly how long notice do I need to give my employers, I said a month, I was given d opportunity to ask a question, I askd what the next stage was, they said rankin and selection of successful candidates then induction."

Wen introducing yourself, chip in where you are working(if are you are), if you don't want to be asked too many discipline related questions, if you noticed(from above) the interview takes the path of your responses, so u you are in control.

Meanwhile, things might have changed, just felt this will give an idea of how the experience was, back in 2011. Best of luck to us all

I got same text today. Congrats to us all. They said I should get a mail by 21st. However am scared cos I never got any mail from them during the test period. I was only receiving sms and I got my hard copy of invite. Can anyone advise on what to do cos I don't want to miss my interview venue.
.regards

Interview venue is always @ the Towers, also, you can send an email to Philip Consult. I didn't get any email for the test, even the sms I think I got only two. Don't worry, just keep your ears to the ground (NL) you wouldn't miss out.

If by Biometric staff you mean the BVN registration, then you should know that it has a time frame... I suspect Banks will lay off most of the Biometric officers. I think you should consider that when making your decision.
