Hi pals, Is it advisable to go with a new research proposal?

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

Sharing your experience will not make someone else win the scholarship over you. If God’s Grace is on you, you will win. The interview experience is not the only criteria they used. If you can’t win it help others to win it.

No. Use the one you submitted.

AlBukhari:


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.

Like he said, I do not even make it to the interview. But my concern is for the benefits of future aspirants. I'm not saying you should publish all what they ask you from A-Z, but you can give an insight, summarily you may say; this is the number of interviewers, they requested so and so documents, the questions are more academic or ptdf/petroleum industry related, for the virtual interview this is how it done, so and so mistakes should be avoided. Like @Fatimah MK said your destiny is predestined. If you're to attend Oxford, Massachusetts, or Cambridge through ptdf for example, no one can stop it. If you're not meant for it, no connection can take you there.

Pls can someone answer this:
How important is SSCE result the award process?
Will a D in ur result hinder you from getting the award.

Lol. Just like saying giving someone your answer booklets in exam will not make them score morre than you. So many countless examples that people you taught will get higher marks than you. They will pretend that they don't know the question but they just want to add more points. YOU BETTER BE SMART

See hypocrisy. Don't mind all these people o.

Dont let them sarcastically cheer you up as a hero online. They will call you offline as mugu and ode destroying his chance by himself.
You are all competitors fighting for a slot.

Keep shut your mouth after your interview. DO NOT SHARE ANY QUESTIONS.

Your state might require 100% of the marks. Even if you perform well, some people will do extra
research and will definitely outscore you.

Most of these people encouraging you from the past PTDF didn't share their experiences. Do not be deceived.

Statistics have shown that those who face the interview first fail most. Not because of their performance, but just because of telling others
what they experience.

I just want a fair game. If actually, you merit it, you won't be deceiving otondos in the game to share their questions.

After the whole interview process, people will share their interview.

Stop twisting destiny. Do not prepare for the PTDF interview and go just like that without bringing all the documents that will be marked.
Let me see how you will scale through. Stop putting everything about religion. Let us be realistic for once. That is why Nigeria is like this.

My interview is slated for Thursday (PhD) this week and everyone that wants a complete picture of the interview should remind me then. Will give you everything regarding the interview A - Z. And we shall all be here to share our testimonies when results are released God willing.

If you share your questions. You are doing it to the detriment of others who have no advantage and are ignorant.
You are committing exam malpractice. You are not a hero but a sinner and there is a consequence to every action.

I hope you don't have this mentality abroad when conducting research. You will be jailed.
Keep shut and obey PTDF confidentiality regulation that you signed before your application. Check the terms and conditions of the scholarship and interview process.

You are a sinner and a breaker of the law. How I wish Nigeria have such a facility to track you down and face the wrath of the law.
DO NOT TRY THIS ABROAD SO YOU DON'T GO TO JAIL.

Mine is 3rd June, I will surely remind you. Meanwhile I don't have any publication will that affect my chance of getting the scholarship?

Please I'm asking again. Which details are we supposed to use? The details sent via email on the 17th or the one in our portal? I don't know which of them was modified please.

You need to use the details on your application portal with the QR code and the one sent via email containing venue and time of the interview.

Because your interview is on June 3rd that is why you are supporting her. Well, I don't blame you. Who won't be happy to grab opportunity for more marks.

However, I'm sure if your interview were be tomorrow, you will be against her as she will cause all those that did interview from Monday to Wednesday at a disadvantage.

Everyone is selfish in this life. FatimaMK might have another scholarship alternative and just want to use this to flex.

It is important. Check the PTDF marking criteria for the overall grade.
Ensure you tell the panel to select your best 5 O level result. Mention the subjects.

Some people did another WAEC to obtain high marks. Some of them have finally won.

1. Quality of credentials
2. Quality and relevance of proposed course
3. Publications and professional certification


4. Responses to questions
5. Intelligence

Why do you want PTDF to sponsor the choose course ? Is it not available in Nigeria universities?
What's is relevance to oil and gas industry?

the date and time in my portal is different from the one sent to my mail. That is what I'm asking. Which one am I supposed to use?

hosey:


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.

Wow, with a mindset like this no wonder Nigeria is the way it is. What is wrong with sharing an experience from an interview?

Whether they share or not, what will be will be. They can keep the experience to themselves hopefully you come out first out of a class of 1million. Typical Nigerian.

People have gone for interviews with the top IT companies like Facebook, Amazon, Google and Microsoft and made videos of it all on YouTube.
You see why the indians and Chinese tend to excel wherever they go, they look out for each other, positively. Be there, concealing info from an interview.

Don't mind this people with their typical primitive crab mentality. It's just so shocking that some people in this 21st century still think like cavemen.

My interview is soon and insha allahu I will give detailed analysis of how it went on this thread.

They dont share their experience during the interview process. They share their experience after the interview process. Stop changing things this man.

You're just scared for nothing for God sake. Go to YouTube you'll see tens of videos on PTDF interview. So this is not something like exam malpractice as you call it. I have watched multiple of videos regarding the ptdf interview and people share their experience the comments section. I ask alot of questions and got answered. I have send an email to previous awardees and got attended to. So what are you insinuating. YOU DON'T KNOW ANYBODY'S BACKGROUND HERE. You know no one performance, what they're capable and not capable of. If you like share, if you don't like don't share. No one is forcing anybody. PTDF itself have posted a video on it twitter handle for PhD interviewees experience. I watched it. It there you can go and search for it. I just wonder why you're doing all this incantations. Pls.

pijay:


Pls can I get the marking criteria from you.

I have sent it. Please help others too as I will be offline soon due to work commitments.

This is exactly what I expect in this thread to request for the marking criteria format. Help one another with likely questions. But you can alll se that this thread is dry.

Most of these people deceiving you to say your experience have all the materials and breakdown but they are all hiding it so you don't benefit. They also want to deceive you to say about your interview experience and pretend.

Don't fall for their scam. You are all fighting for the same goal and this life-changing opportunity. BE WISE AND SMART. Don't be deceived.
They want an unfair advantage. That is how most of them pass in school with EXPOS.

If you are confident with yourselves, you will help people who need the format. But they are all hoarding it.

HYPOCRITES.

I have sent it. Remove your email to avoid phishing.

Good luck in your exams bro.

I had my interview yesterday and it was a bit OK. I arrived the venue as early as 08:30am, I met well dressed and serious looking young men and women also coming for the interview and was led to a reception by a Ptdf staff. After a briefing by Ptdf officials, we were sent to the verification room where our interview invite and application print out were checked and confirmed from their computer, I am sure they must have checked our pictures as well. From there, they sent us in to different interview rooms, when it came to my turn, I entered and met three members panel and the interview started.
I first introduced myself, my course of study, my place of work, universities in to which I am applying etc after that, questions started coming. The lead interviewer jokingly said I must have applied to University of Manchester because I am a Man U fan and I defiantly said no, I gave my reasons. Other questions came in and I answered satisfactorily. They had to stop me at intervals and asked me to repeat what I said, they thought I crammed something from the way I spoke fast... lol
I was then asked to present my awards and publications and I did. My publications were noted and accepted but when it came to awards, it was a tug of war. I dragged and argued to the extent of angering the interviewers and they said let's bring white board and marker make you teach us our responsibility since we are answerable to you and not to Ptdf. At that point I apologized and 4 four out of seven awards I presented were accepted but after another round of arguments and clarifications. At the end , they applauded my doggedness but condemned what they called stubbornness and disregard of elders which I have shown. I apologized again and jocking said " a drowning man has no option but click to anything wey come his path" and they all bursted in to a laughter. They wished me all the best and I wished them the same. I departed and called the next person.

Posting this here from the 2020 thread. This person got the scholarship last year BTW.

This gives one the general parameter of the interview and what to expect. Him publishing his experiences didn't stop him from being selected.

Why not just post the whole marking criteria here? how does it stop you from being selected?
