Onisokien, i bliv the IPS program is a good one, sponsored by Total, NNPC and Uniport.
U will get among others, a Master's degree, i know it is highly competitive to get their admission,
U will probably need a Minimum of 2:1 to be eligible

i really dont know much about it
U can check their site for more info www.ipsng.org

or the files below

@Ufuoma77

Thanks a bunch. I'm grateful.

@Valvon, na small thing, we are here to help one another
i hear it is highly competitive. The problem is that application form, me thinks it is too expensive for a program that is in conjunction with NNPC, TOTAL and UNIPORT... dem for bring am come down small... all the same good luck to all the guys that will apply. I hope to and plan to, as soon as i can raise the cash...

will they offer full scholarships?

At onisokien: what was the entry test n interview like n do u ve past questions. I heard for some courses durin the interview u have 2 demonstrate that you can speak fresh, pls how true is this. Holla

i meant speak french

No, u dont have to speak french, when i wrote the test it was o level maths, english, biology, chemistry, physics, little thermodynamics.At the interview, you just have to be confident in yourself thats all, wasnt really technical.

Is 10000 naira all you need for the trainning? I am Highly interested but dont have any relative in PH and dont have job. Any provision for accomodation?

Is't only engr.. graduate? What of sciences can they apply?

Can HND in holder in Mech. Eng. apply?

What is the requirement for the program I have HND in Chemical Engineering, can I apply for the program?

cant HND in elect/elect engineering apply., we jst ve to stop all this discrimination bt bsc and hnd....afterall, we spent thesame nos of years in school.practically and theoritically we are beta than them....

am unable to submit my application at shell, after filling all the necessary forms, i did not c the sbmit button, what will i do.

what is our hope of gettin a job, when we are not connected, thousands of interviews, application here and there but yet we keep on searchin and applyying, well we put our trust and hope in God. I kno God, which is the greatest of all connections......

...hope of getting a job when you are not connected...? Abi, and you say you re putting your trust in God, no be so, then you are contradicting ur self. Once you re on God's side, you re already connected. You do not need man's approval. Okay! Keep trusting him, one day all will be set.

Thanks alot for this wonderful info. Pls can HND holder apply and is there provision for accomodation for people living outside PH.

ONISOKIEN please can we chat? what year did you pass out of IPS

No HNDs, No Sciences. Just Second Class Upper Engineering graduates or second class lower company sponsored staff with experience.

Once admitted (pass test and interview), you are entitled to tuition fee ($12,500) scholarship from TOTAL. You shall also be provided with all lecture materials free. but you shall provide ur own accommodation fee of about N150,000 in IPS lodge. There is also an acceptance fee of N100,000. So total financial commitment from you is N250K.

Facilities are world class (free internet access, air conditioned classroom, e-library, etc) with lecturers from UNIPORT (40%), IFP France (40%) and OIL & GAS INDUSTRY (20%).

Let's not forget ur 50% chance of becoming employed in TOTAL after the program.

IPS also allows you to seek for sponsorship else where especially the annual ESSO NATIONAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIP and JDZ (Sao Tome and Principe Scholarship) of which IPS students have very good track record.


Good luck guys. Just pay 10K and apply, try ur best and get the admission and see what other scholarships you can grab to see urself through the ever rewarding MSC in Pet. Engrg.

ebot64 has said it all

@ Olumeks and ebot64
what happens if one is not able to get scholarship? esso is over and I'm not sure when JDZ would start accepting applications
so please tell me , what happens if i can't come up with the 12500?

do anybody have an idea of how ips interview looks liks
