    Drawn from the published conditions, to be confirmed with the organiser.

Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The key phrase here is « 23:50 PNG Time »: if another time appears elsewhere, this is the one that should govern your submission. The committee also says a lower GPA can be offset by concrete strengths in fieldwork, methods, or data analysis, so you should show useful competence, not just a transcript. The proposal needs to be narrow, credible over two years, and tied to one university from the list. Prepare a clean file, then submit it using the stricter time limit.
