I expected @flexisaf to say something even if it means denying all these. But thier silence means something was really up that's why they are voiceless.


Before the exams, the were prompt in reply. I expect a prompt reply to issues raised but am to assume it's just the same old Nigeria and PTDF we know.

At this point I need to comment on this leakage stuff. In Port Harcourt where I took the test, the story about leakage is just exaggerated stories. 98%of candidates where on the line scrambling to enter the exams center. The first sets of candidates revealed nothing about the exams. However about 30 minutes before the last candidates entered the center, one guy came out with a paper with 5-10 English words and gave it to xsome guys. He didn't even reveal much about the true nature of the exams. I disagree with the notion that a person who didn't prepare for the test can just get it because of this. Let me tell you guys something, u see all those big words? I had studied them during my preparation, but it's not all I could remember or apply to those logical questions. So all these fuss is unnecessary.

For those who applied for DPR Recruitment 2016, expect your invitation soon before the end of July, starting with the OND first before the graduate trainee/experience higher.

Well said. The only issue I have is if the questions were really leaked before the exam. As per other issues, it's not flexisaf's fault that some thoughtless fellows gave later batches heads up with the vocabs and other stuffs after writing theirs. Also, I don't think giving different questions to the various batches would have solved the problem because a batch could still argue that their own questions were more difficult thereby putting question mark on level playing ground for everyone.
It's true that Flexisaf were not watchful enough to ensure nobody entered the exam hall with phone and left with anything written or copied on their rough worksheets.
All the same, what we all need now is prayer. Don't worry about people who force nature to give them what it doesn't have for them.

What are you saying? smh

What it means is that some successful OSS candidates might be asked to study in schools PTDF have strategic affiliations with like USP Brazil or some might even be asked to do their Masters in upgraded universities here in Nigeria. And by ticking that box, it means one has consented to be converted from OSS to LSS should need be. PTDF is trying seriously to cut costs.
Seems very few candidates will be sponsored abroad this year. Let's wait and see sha.

I don't think it does. PTDF will still sponsor people abroad but they will be few. That was just like a premonition so people don't start complaining when their award is converted.

Well said, or rather, typed. But my case is different, PTDF will still sponsor me to my school of choice abroad.

Hello And Good Evening To everyone,
We thank everyone that has made the PTDF exam a success. However, we would like to acknowledge that the success of the exam was more than 90%. Even as such, we had one or two issues here and there.

For everyone who has any complaints, we would try our possible best to fix any complaints as much as we can. We appreciate everyone for their continued patience.

Thanks very much

It is a standard procedure to collect all papers from from the candidates before they leave the exam hall. In my opinion you guys didnt do anything to prevent or even reduce the leaking of exam questions.

Dear Kunbee,
FlexiSAF Sends at least 2 of its staffs to each center to coordinate the technical issues of the venue. Other members involved in screening and other activities are mostly members of the PTDF. We would definitely ensure that the result of the exam is as transparent as humanly possible.

Thanks for your honest observation

OK then, If this is true, how come images were not uploaded on some questions. I couldn't answer like 8 questions because of this....how do you intend to rectify this, because it puts some candidate at a disadvantage to others

The Test in Bauchi, ATBU E-Library went smoothly. The team from DSS, PTDF, University staff & Flexisaf did a good job there, honestly. No Phone was allowed, no calculator, nothing. In fact, if not for that Mandarin they called English the the whole thing would have been fantabulous.

What metric did you use to arrive at over 90% success of the exam?

Hope it's not the case of diagrams not showing and some questions not loading, renewable energy candidates seeing biofuels process engineering questions, energy systems candidates seeing GT option, etc....?

How did you arive at 90% success @flexisaf? You guys are not even responding to more important qstns. How do you intend looking into all the issues raised? Esp Energy system Engr and odas. How can someone prepare for a particular exam and you will end up telling the person to write a different one? How did you achieve your 90%success with all this failures? Conducting exams in batches having same qstns without proper measures in place, lopsided qstns and mix up...were you guys not ready?
