Thanks.

Looks like the selection process is shrouded in 'mystery' with 'excessive red-tapism'. Nevertheless, lets wait for the final outcome. Do post your reply if you received any update. Until then.

Guys, any latest updates?

No

Did anyone receive an interview call? I have not received any kind update from Planning Commission yet.

Thanks dear.

Any latest updates regarding 'Young Development Fellowship' interview schedule?

Guys, did anyone of you receive an interview call of Planning Commission flag-ship project YDF - Young Development Fellowship Program?

Any info will be highly appreciated.

When they will start calling/emailing for interviews?
please respond if anyone has any information about this

No information yet. looks like they had completely forgotten this ydf program as they advertised in december 2018 and its been 7 months now. it was always implemented on time when Ahsan Iqbal was the minister of Planning commission. seems like bunch of laggards are sitting on top administration position.

True. Lets hope for the best.

On past Thursday, I called Planning Ministry's wing responsible for YDF program. I was told that due to Budget, PSDP, Five year, and Annual Plan preparations in April, May, and June, the interview process was put on-hold, due to governance section engagement in the aforementioned activities; which is the responsible department for the implementation of YDF program.

He added that shortlisted candidates list has been prepared, and mostly likely in the month of August - before Eid-ul-Adha - shortlisted candidates will be informed [through post & email] for interviews.

In case you want to reconfirm, here are the [B]contacts[/B] details (Shared by YDF program alumnus)

[B]Javed Sikander PD YDF[/B]
0 5 1 - 9 2 1 0 2 5 2

[B]Hazoor Mahar PM YDF[/B]
0 5 1 - 9 2 0 1 2 0 7
[B]
Room 417 (YDF Office) Planning Ministry[/B]
0 5 1 - 9 0 9 3 4 1 0

thats a relief. Thanks btw!!
P.S
I have a query for those who have applied to this program. did y'all get any sort of auto-generated email upon form submission that confirmed that application has been submitted? because i didn't get any email.

Your are welcome!

Unfortunately, no. I applied and did not receive any "auto-generated email". I thought I was the only who didn't receive any confirmation email.

I guess no body receive auto-generated confirmation email. So you shouldn't panic.

Best of luck!

Shortlisting was completed in Ramzan and candidates were supposed to be informed in Ramzan or just after Eid ul Fitr holidays but then there was a long silence. I also heard that there was some budget problem and now the process is resumed but still i dont think that we will be informed before Eid ul Azha. May be after Eid holidays or by the end of August or may be later than this because this staff seems very non serious and lazy. Well, whenever anyone of you receive email/letter for interview then please share the news here.

Any latest developments?

Not yet. they are really testing our patience

someone please wake them up

This is the government sector where delays are normal. Honestly, waiting for them to do their work is watching paint dry

Oh My God....

Anyone has the news that this YDF program has been ended or not?
I got a news that this program is no longer active.
Can someone please confirm it?

Apparently, it seems that it is not active otherwise they would have called the shortlisted candidates. its better to confirm from the relevant department in Planning commission.

I called them and they said this program has been closed.
Disappointed by the PTI government!

Whom did you call? Project Director or Program Manager? The former imparts authentic information whenever I talked to him, before Eid-ul-Adha, the latter was super rude in his conversation. And without even listening to my question, he abruptly responded: the program has been cancelled (this way before eid).

But the program fate was already doomed from the outset when PTI-led govt took over.

Interestingly, two days ago, KP govt issued a notification, imposing 'ban' on all kind of recruitment in public sector universities, effective immediately, citing "extraordinary financial crisis" as a reason. I mean they had promised 1 crore jobs but looking at their performance trajectory they are going they other way around.

May GOD has mercy on us all.

lets not forget that they keep on saying that senior positions in bureaucracy must be from pvt sector. Bnada phir css kyun kare?

Highly disappointed from this gov. Thank God i didnt use my vote for them as this is the " naya Pakistan" they had promised to us. N-league tenure was much better for us graduates to avail oppprtunities regardless of all the corruptions.

Any latest report?

has anybody got a call? they didn't terminate this program and shortlisted candidates and even called some candidates for interview. i saw a girl post on "scholarship network" (facebook group) as she was selected for interview and was seeking for interview tips...thats how i came to know about this

yes i saw couple of posts related to this but i didnt receive any call/mail for interview. I dont know how they shortlisted candidates :/

I guess we are the "unlucky" guys.

Breakup wali feeling aa rai hai thori thori :P
People who were desperately waiting for it are not even shortlisted for interview :D

Hello,
Can you please share the post link where she needs to know about tips? I also need to know if someone shared some tips.

Hmmm. I think this forum is no more useful.
