The Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) has announced the continuation of the selection interview exercise for the 2020/2021 Overseas Scholarship Scheme (OSS) (M.Sc. and Ph.D. categories), which was earlier suspended on 20th March 2020 due to the COVID-19 lockdown.

The concluding interviews will hold from Tuesday, 15th June to Friday, 25th June 2021, across the four zones that had not finished before the 2020 lockdown:
