BLSYNG:
If you're encountering the "Application closed" thingy, it simply means that your journey to DPR through this recruitment has ended. You need to move on and try again when there are openings again. It's just logical to deduce this.
No hard feelings.
Congrats to those who can still access their application portal.

Mind you! There's difference between "application closed" and "application portal closed".

Keep bringing the speculations, I'm enjoying it.

Drnice:
First you point out(choi, na gun? i be think say na "pointed out" .. then you go on and write 3 paragraphs of speculation(woah! Wait, did i see that coming? Then, you went on to write 3 paragr...)?
Nb: Bros u like insulting peeps here. Contribute, u no wan contribute. Haba, na u need medication pass.

Thanks for this bro, the guy needs serious spanking.

Misskay90:


The plural of 'Staff' is STAFF not STAFFS! This is making my eyes hurt.

Thanks for your observation but must you correct with insults?

Onyiridike:


My brother, our hope is on God but I don't believe whoever gave you this information.

They would have blocked the edit option instead of closing the portal for a larger number of candidates.

Do you expect them to reactivate the portal before interview? If yes, why close it in the first place instead of disallowing the edit option as it was before?

Madam , I think when I posted that most of the people that got the invitation later had their portals closed you attacked me for your confirmation revert to Engrvin last post.

PJMasks:
Does it mean that if yours says "application portal closed" means you're automatically out of the race?

Says who?

insperyadyou:
A particularly observant person is who you are. Heated debates are only being generated here on "object moved", Application Portal Closed and "still getting access to the portal", and so on. Nobody has keenly observed that "The Position Applied For" vanished from everyone's profile. If this 'Position Applied For' vanished on everyone's profile, then we are all on the same plane. This is even a greater cause for concern that should not be overlooked.

This did not apply to everybody , as for my portal it showed the position I applied for until application portal closed , but most of those claiming that their portal is opening had this very issue. That's what the guy is talking about .

DgRaNdShErifF:
Application portal that doesn't contain the position a specific candidate applied for, is that one a portal?

And it seems no one noticed this unusual difference.

This guy no killi me with laughter o

hugochuks60:
mmmmmm!!!! DPR should better employ everybody on this thread oooo, else the ones that won't be employed or that won't make it to d interview might do something unpalatable cos the temper n d speculations n d kind of hope m seeing here, knowing how this country operates n with d current global trend in oil market is so alarming oooo.

Seems you don't know what's going on or current at all , DPR is recruiting not less than 500, because a lot of their staffs are retiring this year and they can't start 2018 with short of staffs.

Onyiridike:


The aptitude test was an interview in disguise.

They may not have the time to screen another large number of candidate.

If I intend to employ 2 people and invited 20 people for a test and 4 of them scored 65% while the rest scored 50% and below. Is it not advisable to call the 4 candidates who scored higher for final interview?

Examination may not be the best test of knowledge and ability but in this case, there is no better alternative.

In recruitment aptitude test isn't interview my dear

What I know is that little percentage can't be selected for interview, normally if an organization need a candidate for a post at least 20-25 people will be called up for interview and the best candidate will be selected so those experiencing portal closed should be rest assured that some or most of them will be called and those which still open too aren't exceptions .

crownman:
It seems 1900 peeps will be invited for the interview.

Larger percentage is expected to be invited if the selection is fair .

god2good:
I can stil login to my portal. Although around that 6pm yesterday it was applicatn portal closed & the morning again it log in & same uptil nw.

If this case is real then I conclude their server(DPR) is either undergoing maintenance or is having issues.

dannycrane77:


Guy pls wat is dis.lol.

He hasn't made any update or editing on his profile

pedroito:
i can still login

Did you make any update or edit on your profile ?

Pdirac:


I did not make any update, since there is no instruction to that effect.

I now understand, case closed.

neoclassical:
99% of comments here are based on assumptions/speculations. No one is sure of what is happening. It could be that the site was hacked. Review of credentials was supposed to be done before shortlisting for aptitude test, while original documents submitted will be reviewed during interview. It is DPR that has the final say. My portal was accessible for hours yesterday till I changed one of my referees, thereafter, it closed immediately. If you use an unregistered email and password to log in, they will tell you "the credentials do not match their record" but if you use a registered email and password, they will tell you "Application portal has closed". So no one knows what is happening. Even one of the guys that claimed his portal is still accessible said it is showing "Pending Successful submission". How possible is it, when the test has been taken and records of people that were not shortlisted terminated immediately ? Some are lying while many are speculating. Only a message from DPR will clarify the development.

Most of those claiming that their portal is accessible refused to tell us the status displaying on their profile, so what do we believe now?

Zahrudin:
I did not received any sms and yet my portal is still accessible

What does your profile reads, is it pending successful submission as you earlier claimed or approved?

Talento:


Abeg you guys should relax. I tried to login through the registration portal the feedback was "application portal closed". I then click on menu, then profile and I was able to view my editable profile.

Tried that but couldn't see the profile tag on the menu

MOJG:
is it possible to change password if application portal is close against a candidate? i just did try using the former password with a response "credential did not match our record", then when i log in with the new PW i got the response application portal closed. Any way that is my observation.

I did successfully changed mine but when logged in its still application portal closed.

Reader1988:

Please those with their portal open, did u receive SMS text as well? Or those with text, is your portal open or closed.

Most of those who received text have their portal closed and most portal opened haven't received text . Though I stand corrected.

Application Portal Closed! Is a message that your portal is no more accessible for alteration and editing hence is being processed. If you haven't moved on it should have been displayed already on ur portals before being closed. So my view is that either going to be rejected or invited depends on the outcome of their processing when the portal closed. It's not possible they invite very few or less number for the interview, so those whose portals are still open, I can't say anything about it. But I know my Case is different.

Zahrudin:
My is pending successful submission....

But how come after you've written the test? Something isn't adding up here!

Pdirac:
I can still access the portal. And it still has my profile and edit.

Did you make any edit/update at all.

Zahrudin:
My portal is still open what's wrong?

Have you done any update or editing on your profile?

michaelismenten:
Hmm! I found out that they used another persons NYSC certificate in place of my own, since I can delete and add again, I simply replaced it with mine

After the update is your portal still Opening?

Zahrudin:
My portal is still open what's wrong?

What's the message on the status?

The application is being processed either closed or not let's wait for the next 5 days for their next action in line.

OneGuest:
