Hello guys. Please what is the age limit for MSC and PHD respectively.

No age limit.

ggoldmine:
If you're not keen on attending those unis, then you don't need to defer but you have work to do. Get the list of all PTDF approved UK universities and look for any that offer January or May intake for Cyber. Apply and continue your PTDF registration.

Otherwise, apply for admission to your choice unis and defer your PTDF scholarship.

Check previous posts for WhatsApp link, I'm not sure. Better still, create one and post the link here.

Good evening Guys! Don’t be scammed. Praisenotch registered today and he started talking about email and payment. You know how scammers do operate here. Guys connect the dots you will understand what I am trying to bring out. Like someone said, the about to be published list is usually merit based. If you are destined to get this scholarship, you will surely get it without knowing anyone.

Alright, thanks a lot. But there is issues now oh. I actually have a first class in my BSc, but I used 2 sittings for my waec. Because of English and maths. Really weird that I failed maths in one and failed English in the other😂💔

Combine the two results. No problem as regards that.

Brino5161:
Wait pls, I need clarification; are we the ones to secure admission for ourselves in the schools we list in the PTDF scholarship?

youngprince111:
I’m yet to get a refund Ooo since May, they are not even responding to May mail again after they requested for my account details since first week of June.

Na wa for the vfs people o. This is very unfair.
I was debited too few days ago, so I will have to wait for months before getting refund. To refund money has now become rocket science for vfs. Refund that should take a week or less.
Everything in this Country na wahala.

Thanks for your response Sir.

youngprince111:
these was there response wen I have similar issue since May, hopefully expecting a refund after 30days of ur appointment date according to them.

Good evening Sir, Pls, have you gotten your refund? If yes, how long did it take?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks.

rebless:

Hello house

Has anyone been successful in getting refund from VFS for a failed appointment but account debited?

Bros,good evening. Have you gotten your refund for the failed appointment booking?
If yes? How long did it take?

Congratulations to the new awardees.
To those who didn't make the list this year, don't be dispirited, better opportunities will come your ways.

Check your name.

May God Almighty rewards you abundantly.

Thank you. Intelligentdude

Countdown to 10:34pm

Lol.
Bro, don't do countdown o, because only PTDF fit know the day and time o. I only told you what happened that 2019 because I was one of the awardees.

Gizzy22:
Oga, 10pm is for yam and agbado. Nor dey give us false hope abeg.

Bro, if the information dropped here by that guy dey genuine, emails can still drop tonight, time still dey. 2019 success emails dropped 10:34pm.

Those that were selected will be contacted today. I don’t know if the list will be publicly released yet but those selected should get emails today. So, keep checking your emails

This might be true.
In 2019, success emails was first delivered, afterwards, the list was published.
So this year might also take that direction.

fatimar5:



On the site if I can still remember it’s written firstname (s) so write Your Firstname and middle name in the same box. Then only your surname on the last name box

For those filling applications for visa, make sure you fill the appropriate office forms. Abuja for Abuja, Lagos for Lagos… and have photocopies of all your documents. Print all your documents before going to VFS… it was damn expensive to print with the guys around vfs… all these is so you don’t have to spend unnecessary money or be stressed on that day.


All the best.

BTW I got my visa (long stay) and it took 3days
Thank you everyone for the tips here and there

Congratulations on your visa.

hopeful2018:

Do you have idea of the breakdown of the scoring for this year is? Especially for PhD candidates.

I don't Sir.

Engr2016:
Straight A1s I guess. Congrats Bro. I love your tenacity for not giving up .

Not straight A1s,but A1s and Bs for the five subjects selected by the panel.
May the Divine favor locates you guys.

Engr2016:
Or perhaps, there was a public outcry against the neglect of 2:1 and 2:2 candidates last year. In my findings, I am yet to see any non-first class applicant that won it in 2020/2021 . Well, things may change this year.

I graduated with 2:1 and I won it 2019/2020 on the fourth attempt. To be sincere, O'level is important, it helped me.
Also, during our time, award was considered and I presented two awards.
That 2019/2020, First Class= 10marks, 2:1=8 marks, 2:2= 5 marks.

Omexx:
Please I’ll like to make a confirmation. PTDF has 125 approved schools for Germany. Will an admission from one of these schools be accepted even though that’s not one of your selected school in the ptdf portal?

YES!

unity004:
Good morning scholars, I was shortlisted for OSS PTDF but I don't have any publication and I do not belong to any member of a professional body yet.
My question is, do I still have a chance at the interview? Because I am currently far away from my interview venue and I don't want to risk it for nothing. Thanks

Bros, you applied to get this scholarship and not to stop midway of the process.
Yes, PTDF is very competitive, that is undiluted fact, but With God, all things are possible.
Sir, do you know that some people have publications and also member of a professional body and yet they didn't make it to this interview stage.
Pls, keep the fire burning. Once again, keep trusting God.
I wish you guys outstanding success.

MacJoseph200:


Yes. Because you will tender your admission letter(s) at the interview along with other documents.

Bros, this is totally untrue. Admission letter is not part of the mandatory documents you are presenting on the interview day. The documents you are presenting are those that you uploaded with your application.
You can also present any relevant document(s) you acquired after your application,it will be considered.
NB: Presenting admission letter on the interview day is not a plus to make the final list and not having admission letter on the interview day will not have any negative effect on you.

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

Sir, if this your statement is true, then that is good news but from my own experience admission is not automatic. Like I said in my previous post, secure your admission, don't wait for PTDF. Also, I don't know if PTDF is now awarding more marks to people with admission during the interview like you said, but in the past no mark for such.

Jazberry1:


I stand to be corrected.
Anyone who passed the interview need not to apply for admission. PTDF will do that on the person's behalf. PTDF already has agreement with the schools. Admission for PTDF students will be automatic.

Sir, was this your statement included in the scholarship advert or you got it from PTDF officials?

Swagsultan1:
You are not applying for any admission, Ptdf will do that for you. They can post to any of the 3 schools/courses you selected during application. If You get the scholarship it's automatic admission.

Pls, apply for admission oooo.
PTDF will not apply for admission for you ooo.
Getting the scholarship doesn't mean automatic admission.
I wish you guys success.

ty01:
Most definitely.

Thanks so much Sir.
