Lolz, No wonder Dre.Manuel said you were one way or the other engaged with PTDF.


Don't tell me you're speaking by faith. Twill be so boring!

Faith bro.
When my colleagues are insisting that I am part of PTDF, it wont be wrong to accept it. By faith. They are seeing what is good. Of course I will claim it.

We understand your grievances but should we sacrifice Merit and give scholarship to undeserved scholars. We know there were irregularities in the test and more so some scholars chose to write discipline they didn't put in for due to information.

We deviced strategy for the best to be chosen. Additionally, we are working with top-notch schools for our LSS.

Dear "PTDF Staff"

Whose fault @bolded?

What am only happy about is that you agree that the selection process was flawed ab initio and integrity of the system may have been compromised.That means when the list is out, those of us that will be successful should not think that we were simply the best.

You are saying "some scholars chose to write {sic} discipline they didn't put in for due to information", what about those that were forced by FlexiSaf to write for the discipline they didn't put in for because the questions on what they put in for didn't display. What do you have to say about this? Won't the system you devised be unfair to such people? Maybe you should educate us on this occult strategy of yours.

The situation is just in a complete mess, unfortunately. No matter what method you adopt, some people will still be shortchanged except you scrap the subject based aspect and focus on English alone, yet it was alleged that people saw the questions before hand. And if that is true, again, whose fault?

My suggestion, get a tested and trusted contractor next year to conduct the exams and avoid giving contracts to your cronies. Many of us on this thread know at least two top-notch IT companies that conduct aptitude tests for the multinationals and progressive domestic companies - and with them, only the bests are chosen.

In addition, I also feel personally that over six months is enough for one to improve seriously in one area of study, that is entirely different from what was initially stated in application. This is one of the demerits of having over 6months between application period and test date. Also, some courses/specialization are quite related and one can actually feel a hunch to change on test date given one's improvement in an area over a specific period.

I mean, I for one initially put in for design of rotating machines but after then I got a job that made me seriously improve in the area of fluid mechanics and Computational Fluid dynamics, infact I am on my way to obtaining a certificate in CFD simulations using ANSYS; therefore I felt much more confident to answer questions in the area of Fluid mechanics and energetics. I really pray God's will be done. I did my best. I trust God

Sir at highlighted part. I didn't see the course I applied for and I was asked to take another course of which I optioned for combustion engineering and I thought it was related to my course (it wasn't). Even when I struggled with that course, I did excellently well in my English so Pls you can't judge base on that (abeg no disqualify me). Besides, before the exam, the flexiguy wrote on this forum that ONLY THE ENGLISH IS COMPULSORY AND WE CAN CHOSE ANY COURSE OF OUR CHOICE APART FROM THE ENGLISH. Thanks

If you were to write in the afternoon and you were duly informed that the course you chose during the application had about 15 missing questions, would you still go for it I'm sure whatever penalty that was intended for those that chose courses other than the one they chose during the application process would be exonerated, because of the irregularities. There is absolutely no need to panic.

Some of us have evidence that the list will be out by early September (as Kh001 has said). I wonder why no one is talking.
I personally feel the explanations he gave were coherent; and though we all feel the process can be improved, we have no idea what it takes to improve the process, neither can we take away the experience ptdf staffs have acquired over the years.

The only frustrating part of the process is that since we don't know what goes on behind the scene (a problem with every foreign and local scholarships body) we hold on to signs (like time tables, length of the process, etc.) as evidence of credibility.

I think ptdf should adopt the same strategy, it is not sufficient to just advertise dates for exams, they should also advertise dates on which the results will be realeased from the onset. It is the civilised thing to do and they can always apologise if they have any hiccups that prevents release of the results on the advertised date.
