In the interview, they will ask you:
1. To justify the reason you want to study in that area.
2. Questions on the selected area of study
3. Current Affairs (Federal and State)
The last time I appeared before the interview panel, they asked me, "who was the first governor of my state" (Rivers State). They asked a friend of mine, to name the first democratic president of Nigeria.
They may ask you to give them the course content of the course you want to study and all that. The interview is usually simple because the questions are from what you tell them in the panel. For example, if they ask you, "what did you study in your first degree?" And you answer "Computer science". Then they will ask, "Did you do programming languages?" And you say "yes". They will ask you to name the ones you did. And you say, qbasic, fortran, C++, JAVA and scripting languages etc. And they ask again. "What does the extension .js stand for?" If you had done java scripting, you will know that .js is an extension for java script file. And in that order. You have to be honest with yourself. Do not say what you have not done, it will lead you into trouble.
For those that will make it to the interview, goodluck to you and God's favour.

Thanks Prof. So generous of you

I was told that the scores where not in any data base. Those scores they copy from your system at the end of the exam is what they will use. Is this a good way to conduct exams? God will favour us.

Excellent, please give more details on how to prepare for the interview and the documents required. Thanks. God win...

They will text the necessary documents at the appropriate time.I think @prof has given useful information.The interview covers current affairs, your chosen course in MSC and sometimes your degree course.Please,do not read so much about the course for MSC and forget questions like,''why do you want to study this course and how will it benefit the region''.In current affairs,read as much as you can about Nigeria, basic things in africa and world....Last year, they asked mostly rivers,ocean,lakes and the likes.

They ask whatever they feel like in current affairs and they have access to internet too.Most of the panelist are lecturers from various uni in niger delta.Please,do not answer what you dont know or try to outsmart them.Finally,you must not get all the questions to be awarded the scholarship.I did not know 1 out of the 5 questions that I was asked.

If som1 shud get anoda admission now probably in his country of choice and probably PGD in a college; can one still use it and fly during the interviews?

If someone should get another admission now especially in a college specifically PGD in ones preferred country of study; can it still fly during the interviews? This is just because I don't fancy going to the UK. Will they query my choice of PGD in a college to MSC in Coventry in UK?.

What advantage do PGD have over M.Sc that would prompt you to go for it? Do you want to waste Niger Delta money? please Remember that minimum entry qualification is 2.2

I no know whether u b guy or babe....but abeg free that 'sir' package cheesy

Whenever you rock suite to even Engineering interview,nobody frowns at it.If suite is not available,you can dress corporate.I do not know when they will call for interview.Nonetheless,since they commenced this scholarship later than usual,I think they will try and fast track the process.Hence,expect it sooner than you think and the reading starts now.

I do not know about PGD....I only know about MSC.Abeg,avoid coming up with things we go make those guys(interviewers) leave you in the lurch or be at their mercy.

That your source is wrong. 35 is about 70% and that is an A.There is no way the cut off will be that high.

This scholarship is only for masters and PHD. Dont waste your time going there with PGD admission, they will throw you out. Its very competitive, any slight mistake, you are out.

Interview cut-off is not usually that high. Besides, the general performance is low. I'm thinking they can even cut from 25 as the case may be.

I got a 2.2 but Canadian universities hardly give a 2.2 holder admission( if am wrong I stand to be corrected).
The Colleges seems easier and faster...some do offer MSCs and PGDs(after which one can proceed for MSC)...I don't fancy going to the UK...Is almost a waste of time because of that "no stay " policy. Can one shift ones programme till one eventually gets admitted in ones country and school of choice if one eventually gets the scholarship?
