The Institute’s Deputy Director of Public Relations, Mr Brown Ukanefimoni, said PTI was established to train skilled technologists and technicians required for oil production.

The institute awards the National Diploma (ND) and Higher National Diploma (HND) in diverse fields related to oil exploration and processing. Ukanefimoni said the government’s planned to ensure sanity in the admission process.

Applicants hitherto sat for entrance examinations conducted internally by the institute. They were conducted in Delta, Lagos, Rivers, Enugu, Sokoto, Kaduna, Jigawa and Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.

The HND applicants only went for interviews conducted by the institute’s management. With the development, Ukanefimoni said applicants who pick PTI as their first choice would be admitted through UTME, adding that the institution would conduct entrance examination to make the admission competitive.

He said the institution would retain one-on-one interview as part of the criteria for the HND programme.

He however, added: “This will definitely improve the exposure of PTI more and also make mobilization for National Youth Service easier.”
