For those considering Germany as their prefeerd study destination and currently don't hold an offer from any german school, kindly note that you're expected to secure the admission yourself. Neither DAAD nor PTDF will assist you with the admission. You can find this info on a document published by DAAD during the 2020 application call. They clearly stated it on the 3rd page. So my advice is that you seek your admissions now. Uni-Assist may take a while, and their process is something else. Try finding schools that accept direct application rather than through Uni-Assist. I got my admission through direct application (HS Darmstadt) but their deadline has elapsed. Fortunately, DAAD gave the option of starting in the winter session (ie January) so you should also consider that.

This is the most logical explanation i have received from this thread so far. I has done a lot of research trying to figure out how this shell recruitment process and judging from historic events (from 2017 shell recruitment), exxon mobil and the rest, the thing they all have in common is "the waiting list", which i think virtually everyone who hasn't received an ODVI invitation so far, has automatically been enlisted into. One basic thing you should all have in mind is that, a company like shell wouldn't waste time reviewing thousands of applications through humans despite the level of technological advancement (AI, High-Speed Computers 等等). The truth of the mater is computers are the backbone of this recruitment process. Ask yourself this question, "why does shell have to wait exactly 24 hrs before sending you a love letter when test is computer based?". Was the computer so slow in computing your result from the test in order to notify you immediately? Its a definite NO. Its just part of the psychological aspect of the recruitment process meant to keep you guessing for some time, and probably distract you from actually seeing the automated aspect of the process. Shell already knows what they are looking for and I'm sure they won't keep you waiting if you fit the profile as is evident in the case of those that has already received the the ODVI invitation. As for those currently on the "waiting list", my advice is to take your mind off this process and stop waiting for shell's message, because to them, you're just a backup plan, (you know, just in case there happened to be a flaw in the process and some of the selected people turned out wrong).
Note** This is just my opinion which could be wrong if................ otherwise happens

On a personal note, I acknowledge that the country is difficult, and everybody dey hustle to make quick money, but I think there's a lot more that can be done in this country. Most of us are gallant graduate engineers, which unfortunately, the country doesn't really believe in. If only we could step up a bit, unleash the creativity in us and persist towards commercializing efficient solutions to our immediate problems using our knowledge, there would be no room for shell to make us look stupid. So, I use this platform to encourage you towards becoming employers of labour rather than becoming labour . Thanks................
