This is a great opportunity for you to discuss your research interest. I think only you can help you at this point, it is your research, you have to own it and be confident in discussing the purpose of your research. Asides from the regulare interview tips; be yourself, be clear and go straight to the point, communicate your thoughts simply and welcome your interviewers opinion. You should be fine. its kinda wierd to saying this but know your research topic.

Good luck

thanks alot

MY EXPERIENCE AT UI YESTERDAY ( TUESDAY 15TH) (MSc UK)

MY OWN CASE WAS ENTIRELY DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS WITHIN THE SAME UI. (UI used 3 panels today)

From my own personal experience , the interview has no standard pathern .....you could be asked anything .......

below are my experience today at UI, IBADAN (Msc) .....


1. after i introduced myself .....immediately they learnt i was from the EAST ( IGBO ORIGIN) , they waited for like 2 mins and started murmoring to each other in Hausa language ....(All of the 5 persons that made up the panel were Hausas).

2. i was not asked a single question from my SOP ....they didnt even open it ....nor cared about it.

3. All the questions i was asked were deep, tough and technical (Civil engineering questions ) my 1st degree course .
( one of them is a Prof of Civil Engineering ) ....NOTE : THIS IS OUTSIDE THE CONTEXT OF THE INTERVIEW....recall that from the invitation letter, we were only told to make a presentation of our Statement of Purpose .......This is very unfair to me .

4. i was asked up to 10 questions ......and my interview lasted up to 25min . ( while others were asked barely 2 questions from their SOP ...with a max interview duration of 4min)


5. I was asked several questions about my projecf work .....and when i explained the title and summary to them......they nullified it ...simply because it was not an oil and gas related project topic .....despite how best i tried to convince them ...that it was just an undergraduate project ..and must not be oil and gas related.

6. i was even given some tough and complex calculations to do (structural analysis of indeterminate structures.....and i was not even allowed to solve , i was told to produce the answer without solving ......which was practically impossible ......i told them the steps to solve it ....they nullified it...insisting i must produce the answer.


7. And one of them kept shouting "you dont even have any publication ".......( i didnt know when it became a compulsory for an undergraduate to have research publications)

8. And two others kept asking "what state are you from ".......

9. And while i was trying to tell them the impact of my proposed course of study in the UK to the Nigeria's Oil and Gas sector......one of them immediately instructed me to leave the room ....with his sqeezed face.


MY CONCLUSION : PTDF is dominated by the Northerners and they are BITTERLY BIASED .....they seems to appear harsh on some persons from a particular part of the country .

Using a WRITTEN APTITUDE TEST to assess everyone would have been fair to all the applicants and not this Biased method of interview where some are barely asked 1 simple and funny question in PANEL (1) and some others in PANEL (2) OR (3) within the same Centre will be bombarded with very rigorous questions that is outside the context of the interview ... this is NOT a reliable and transparent method of selecting the Best. i believe all candidates should be given equal opportunities and assessment.

This is one of the major reason why Nigeria is a failed state..........NEPOTISM AND TRIBALISM .....

Dont be discouraged, you can still be selected because every state has their own Quota! pray you are among the best in your state.

For those of you that got the mail, where you also shortlisted for that of UK?

for does that chose france and china, did anyone get the mail?

please, how do you submit proposal in Jpeg format? i have tried converting but it changes it to zip jpeg file. i need your advice because that is only what i have not been able to upload.

please, anybody with useful info can help me with this! Am a PhD applicant and i know the proposal is very important and must be uploaded.

ODAVWE:
I implore everyone that got the initial recommendation letter and was asked to upload all necessary documents to do the needful. I don't think this mail was sent in ERROR. I also had the same mail and when I got my mail my status was still showing NOT RECOMMENDED. However, after uploading all the necessary documents requested in the right format (i.e. JPNG) and resubmitted my form, then the final recommendation letter came. And consequently, my status was changed to RECOMMENDED and I am now able to print my invoice. If you submit in the right format all your submitted documents would show in your application status. Otherwise, it will not show. I submitted mine originally in PDF and it was the wrong format. Summarily, I will say those that got the initial recommendation mail should do the following:

1. Upload all requested documents in the right format and resubmit your application.
2. Since the deadline given has expired after doing the above go to the PG School for more inquiry.

Finally, you have to take charge of what you want. Feedbacks here might help, but might not be enough.So, go to the PG school for more inquiries, if indeed, you got the initial recommendation mail

Thank you
