I submitted a Freedom of Information Request to establish endorsement rates

Hoping this helps in order to set your expectations right, for every 100 applications from Nigeria only 3 people get endorsed, its 11 for India and 30 for the USA and China

Full FOI report here: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/technation_accepted_and_rejected/response/3484702/attach/html/5/FOI2026%2008464.pdf.html

I see many apply: I am going to be the first persorn to apply from my nation. I dont think its even considered while endorsing: But African nations have a low rating generally. It scares but God: Mine has gone through

It’s your self confidence that helps most in this case.

@zad This is very useful data thank you for sharing. Though it’s definitely discouraging, beyond setting realistic expectations, hopefully it encourages applicants to prepare evidence that rightly aligns with the guidance and Tech Nation’s expectations.

All the best.
