Which of the details are we supposed to use? The one in our portal? Or the one sent to our mail? Anyone?

Log into the portal and print the one with the QR code in front. Also print out the invitation letter that was sent to your email, the one with the date and venue.

Don't forget other credentials too and anyone you feel will support your application.

the date and time on my portal is different from the one sent via email on the 17th. I'm confused as to which of the information is the one to be used. That's what I'm asking please

Till now PTDF is yet to send teams interview link despite schedule. Had anyone received the Teams meeting link

I'm thinking maybe they reserve the 3rd week for virtual interviews. They will surely send it to you.

where is the venue ?

Venue has changed. Just received the email for the new venue. Time and date remain the same

This may not be true. I am doing on 6th June and it is not virtual. I think they are doing it together irrespective of whether virtual or physical.

In between, who is going to Abuja from Akure on 5th June?

It is not so.
I'm doing the virtual interview. My date was shift from 31st May to 30th.

Hi everyone,
For the virtual candidate, do we need to print our document, I mean the application slip and invitation letter.??

Why do u need to print ? When it's virtual.

Have u received the Teams link for the interview?

Wishing best of luck to you guys going for the interview starting on 23rd. Don't forget to share your interview experience. Subsequently as the interview is going on, what you shared will benefit others. And it will go along way. What I realized from the previous years trend on nairaland platform regarding PTDF OSS is that post-interview experience aren't so much shared. Let's change the style this year.

Lol. Everyone. Dont mind him o. He is only saying this because his interview is not on the first day.

You better keep quiet so you don't shoot yourself. When you share the information, other people will prepare well and cover what you didnt do. One mark is the difference between success and failure.

Also, morally, it is very bad. It is malpractice. You are all competitors. Dont allow anyone to guilt-trip you. Therefore, do not share. You can only share after the whole interview process for an equal chance.

Although some of the scholars are doing a great job to keep the thread informed, its true that that post interview experience isn't shared. I hope it will be different this time around.

Machiavellian scheming isn't whats going to win you the scholarship. Nothing wrong with giving a concise summary of your experience. Besides, experiences vary depending on states and panels. In general, the best thing you can do for yourself is to know what you're pitching and pray for the best. There's no magic trick.

I am looking forward to you and sadiik45 to say and elaborate your interview experience first before you encourage others to do so.
You cant make this up.

First time i've been able to post in over two days without getting banned immediately afterwards.

I wanted to comment on the person who said you should be skeptical if you're applying for a non STEM programme. Thats just not true at all. Yes they have a preference for STEM courses but a look at the previous awardee lists will tell you that they sponsor people across all fields. My estimation is they have a quota for every field in every state. In general, given four awardees per state, at least one awardee is always female as we know and one non STEM course is usually awarded. Of course there are rare cases where this pattern is broken but generally, this is what to expect.

He didn't qualify for the interview. He's just giving general advice for present and future reference. Mind you, I will advise you not to lose too much sleep over this interview. If you are expecting something intricate and spirited you will be very disappointed. Like I said, know what you're pitching, explain in a succinct manner and prep for possible answers. The interview is not really as daunting as you expect it to be.

You are right on this.

Try to follow the PTDF marking criteria and have everything it takes

Good luck.

I support this. Its unfair to ask the early birds to state their entire interview experience before the end of interviews. However, they can state it without going into specifics. Maybe they could omit questions they were asked and just talk about the general mood of the interview like how many interviewers, dress pattern, duration etc. Then after all interviews have been conducted they can state the questions asked (for future applicants' sake) so no one will feel they were taken advantage of

This is great. Anyone that share any question will be banned.

I see nothing wrong in sharing one's experience. Your destiny is predefined and nothing will ever change it. May we be favoured.
