Thanks for that info...
It seem to be "1 Malaysia" Scholarship, I think...

So what is the different between Anugerah Kijang Emas by BNM and Biasiswa Nasional?

Both of them offer to the TOP student...

[cherpin]

does jpa provide scholarship for undergraduate program or only pre-u? the eligibility mentioned only for SPM 2009 candidates.

[yanno_yamster]

PILN and PIDN scholarships are for SPM leavers. JPA will sponsor from pre-U up to bach. degree.

[BattleBoyz]

Can we apply for both PIDN and PILN together or we can only choose to apply one of it?

[Nicholasng925]

Can we apply for both PIDN and PILN together or we can only choose to apply one of it?

I heard that we can apply for both and if we failed to secure overseas scholarship, we can be offered the local scholarship instead. I just guessing and not sure about it, hope some experienced seniors can clarify more about it.

[cherpin]

thanks for telling me that.. but i've finished my pre-u n i was a SPM 2008 leaver.. so i want to know whether i can apply for jpa

[yvonne91]

From what i remember, we got to choose only one out of the two while filling up the form. some that failed to get PILN might get PIDN as well although he/she doesn't apply for it. So, apply for PILN first ..:)

if you are doing form 6,you may apply for tajaan tambahan JPA(undergraduate) for your degree. If you are doing other pre-u program, i guess u might not be able to apply for it...not sure though.

Yeah i'm aiming for PILN and wish to pursue actuarial science abroad, such as US, UK and Australia. :)

i studied foundation in science (engineering) last year in taylors. so am i still eligible?

[Boyz_Zoo]

i studied foundation in science (engineering) last year in taylors. so am i still eligible?

I think you are eligible but to make it sure, try asking the questions at JPA tajaan tambahan thread.

[connieting]

hi...is there any bond for the scholarship?
I'm still waiting for stpm result. Am i eligible?
Normally ...how many years of bond for choosing medicine , dentistry or pharmacy?

[starlover]

Isn't PILN for spm leavers only? :huh

Of course there's a bond. For medicine, 10 years. Pharmacy 6 years. Dentistry I think 6 years too..

[Miracle_seed]

hi...is there any bond for the scholarship?

Normally ...how many years of bond for choosing medicine , dentistry or pharmacy?PILN is for SPM leavers, while PIDN is for local university students. However, since last year some students who applied for PILN get the scholarship to study in some local private university, I'm not sure where does this belong to though... At the same time there was Tajaan Tambahan for any students who managed to get a place in Ivy League or equal standard universities, however some sources claim that this scholarship is discontinued this year.

Bond for medicine and dentistry is 10 years, pharmacy is 6 years.

As far as I concern, STPM leavers normally apply for JPA's tajaan tambahan to study locally. Very few ppl can actually apply for the abroad's one as most of the tajaan luar negara are given to SPM leavers. And yes, you have bond with the government but the bond is shorter than the overseas's one.:)

[BattleBoyz]

Does this Tajaan Tambahan offered to spm leavers that apply for the scholarship or its only for stpm leavers or equal that received offer letter from ivy league or equal standard school? What is the period for the bond for engineering?

[acgerlok7]

woah!for biasiswa nasional...so high requirement...all a+..impossible for a so-so ppl lyk me..=(

[Miracle_seed]

Does this Tajaan Tambahan offered to spm leavers that apply for the scholarship or its only for stpm leavers or equal that received offer letter from ivy league or equal standard school? What is the period for the bond for engineering?Tajaan Tambahan is open for students who already secured a place in Ivy League standard universities, while SPM leavers can apply for PILN. Bond for engineering is 6 years if I'm not mistaken.

[bluelavender]

I'm an Alevels leaver and just got offer for pharmacy at Monash Malaysia. I'm planning to apply for PIDN but i dont know much about it. Can anyone help me on this?

1) Can i apply for it as i'm an Alevels leaver? (not matrix, stpm, spm fresh grad)
2) Is Monash Malaysia in the list?
3) When is it open for application? How to apply? online?
4) I went to the JPA office to ask about it, they say only for public u and MMU, UTP and UNITEN, but in this forum, other private u is included. I'm very confused about it. Anyone mind to explain pls >_<

Anyone mind to explain pls >_<There is such confusion due to last year's PILN, where post-SPM students who applied for PILN got the scholarship to study in private local university, and Monash is in the list. However, for usual PIDN, only students who secure a place in local public universities or MMU, UTP and UNITEN are eligible.

[Keiko123]

Actually many people are confused between PILN and PIDN. Last year when JPA offered scholars to private colleges, it is under PILN in fact (2000 overseas scholarships and 2000 local scholarships). This local scholarship under PILN includes local universities and private colleges. It depends where are you heading. Let's say if you're going for local university, you will study matriculation first. For private colleges there are 2 cases as far as i know: JPA offers you directly then you go ahead and while you are studying at that private college they may consider to give you the scholarship to continue your studies (when there are extra local scholarships available? Not sure though).

On the other hand, PIDN offers 10000 local scholarships which include local public universities or MMU, UTP and UNITEN, if i'm not mistaken.

Do correct me if i'm wrong. :)

[bluelavender]

i see.... which means i dont really have the chance for PIDN...

anyway, for PIDN and PILN, when will it open for application? apply online?

[Boyz_Zoo]

Dun worry, if u dun get PILN, u might get PIDN as a consolation prize. depends on ur luck. The online application will open when your all get ur SPM results. More info, check the 1st post of the thread.

1. get the official interview letter from JPA website when they release it online.
2. follow the instructions in the letter especially in preparation of your documents.
3. go to the interview place, dress nicely.
4. wish the interviewers when you enter in the interview room.
5. You have to be able to answer the questions in Malay and English FLUENTLY. Thus, try to practice speaking these two language (if you are weak inn it).
6. Try giving mature answer and don't be too long and too short.
Note: You will be going in groups in the interview, thus don't dominate the interview. Try giving your friends to speak though they might be shy.
7. Finally, thank your interviewers.

Bonne Chance!!! (Good luck!!!)

For dentistry, India, Ireland, Australia are some of the examples.

For more information, check out this thread. JPA Interview of 31st till 5th April (please read before you post) (http://www.recom.org/forum/showthread.php?t=8256&highlight=interview+tips)

well tis is my exp in sp,kedah.
we were divided into groups of 5.i was in d 1st group wif 3 pharms n 2 medics.there were 3 interviewers,1 indian who shoot us n 2 malays who listens.

1st was intro which we can giv any points we wanna,no specifics from them,they asked us in bm.i was the 1st to speak up n panic.i left out the course of my choice n which skul im from.major error.then is group discussion which all of us were unaware of until they told us.haha.

we hav 2 question.1st was y u deserved jpa n kalau anda tidak terpilih apakak tindakan yg anda akan buat.we were not discussin but instead quite passive.we onli talked when instruted to.there was one gurl who answered both the questions first.the indian hold m16 n start shootin when we hav our facts wrong.oh ya,at the beginning,they asked those applied medic how they feel bout this course n asked them whether they wanna switch course.

durin the 2nd question,i said i wil choose f6 cos it wil prepare my basics so that i can b better prepared.i touch on the issue of f6 harder than other preuni course.the indian asked me how u noe,then i said i heard from seniors which he reacted by sayin how can u conclude tins without seeing tins urself.my response was i got tis info from a senior who studied stpm n now pursuing pharm in usm,he did the comparissons n shared wif us juniors.i tin tis response was lamn.overall my group was quite paiseh,n i failed it big time.

after the qna they asked us whether we hav any questions 4 them.the same gurl jus now asked them whether they r pharmacist(to clear the professional issue) but they answered no.i later asked them hows long the bond.they replied while laughin.hehe. their ans is 10 for pros n 7 4 non pros.after tat i shake hands wif them.i was shocked when the malay said tat females cannot shake hand wif males.how discriminte they r.so a piece of advice,group discussion begins after self intro n females,ask them 4 permission b4 shakin hands.hope tis helps.

hi i went to the interview this morning, and its not really as bad, coz the interviewers were good and friendly
first we just have to introduce ourselves(name, school, background), u can also tell y u chose this course and country
then its group discussion. my topic(obesity) i doubt it will be the same but maybe it can be useful, they asked something like how would u advice a friend wif obesity, wat should u do for this matter etc.
then they will ask question, no politics, no economies or any ridiculous stuff
just opinions, for my case they ask if the kerajaan's usaha for obesity campaigns is good enuf
after all these, they will ask u to ask questions, just ask a thing or 2 to show ur interest
then its done! yeah don panic, they are friendly, just finish ur sentences and show some confidence
btw mostly in english wif bits of bm : )

The application for the JPA Scholarship 2010 is opened now and unfortunately, the course of Actuarial Science'd not be offered by JPA this year onward as it is not considered as critical course anymore. :( So, i guess i have to apply for other course that related to it, maybe Economics or Science. If i'm not mistaken, Mathematics is under Science right? Can any senior please clarify this? How about the Engineering courses? Which one is better among the engineering courses(Engineering, France Engineering, German Engineering)? Hope some seniors can clarify it for me. Thanks in advance and i really appreciate it. :)

science is huge field of study and of course math under science, but u need to know that courses like biomedic and else are also under science, different institution or orgnstion define their courses differently, for example, those who want to take engineering at UM will take physical sc. courses but at UIA, physical sc. and enginering are two different courses.. so i think d best way is you urself call the JPA guy to clarify it..

about the engineering course i dont know much bout d different but my principle once told me that german engineering are different cos they are more practical (sory but i dont know what it means haha),

yes, you have to apply online but the application will only be opened after the announcement of SPM results and will be closed 7 days after.

Every course has mathematics as it is an important subject but varies according to profession.

I think you ask the seniors, each of them will say their course is the best. it depends on urself. All the courses are attractive its on way. For further info, u can check ReCom Wiki or the thread for each course. Note: learning extra language can be very challenging, trust me. French for is a bit puzzling.

Can someone give me the link to apply for jpa?

[ikhwan92]

dat shall makes it..
but the linkfor application,as stated by boyz zoo,will be opened tomoro.so
juz wait ur reslt.sme as me.:)):))

As stated at the various websites, the example for the Science course including Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy and Geology, and maybe there are others inside the course. I think i'd be better clarified if i call the JPA guys in person. What is sastera ikhtisas meant? Is that humanities? Inside the course, it's involving Quantitative, and that is exactly the course that attracted me too as it involves a lot of maths in the financial problems. Hope that someone can clarify it further for me. Thanks in advance and i really appreciate it. :)

[ikhwan92]

now it is my turn to ask.
if i were to apply piln but fail at the inteview,then fail again at the persuasion,
then i can apply for pidn rite?
but what inquires me is,pidn is given from starting our foundation/mtrx/asasi o degree only?

[ikhwan92]

PIDN is available at degree level only.

Yeah i have checked it out and found out that France Engineering is attractive as well, but due to the different language, my mom prefers me to take Engineering and that'd be better(if i wanna take engineering courses). I know the German Engineering and France Engineering have vast differences compared to Engineering(UK, US, Aus, Canada), but both have the advantages of extending the scholarships until Master degree. How about the differences between German Eng. and France Eng. in specific, besides the languages itself? Another question, if i didn't opt for engineering, what course should i choose so that i can turn my pathway into actuarial field in future? Economics? Maths(yet i don't really know maths is under what course)? Hope that some seniors can give me advices on this. I'm sorry as i quite desperate now. I have been preparing for JPA interview 2 months ago and now it don't have actuarial science. I'm quite disappointed on this. Thanks in advance. :)

[Miracle_seed]

The application for the JPA Scholarship 2010 is opened now and unfortunately, the course of Actuarial Science'd not be offered by JPA this year onward as it is not considered as critical course anymore. :( So, i guess i have to apply for other course that related to it, maybe Economics or Science. If i'm not mistaken, Mathematics is under Science right? Can any senior please clarify this? How about the Engineering courses? Which one is better among the engineering courses(Engineering, France Engineering, German Engineering)? Hope some seniors can clarify it for me. Thanks in advance and i really appreciate it. :)I just scanned through the list, and I saw actuarial science still on the list?

[BattleBoyz]

I just scanned through the list, and I saw actuarial science still on the list?

Yeah, but its only open for MARA scholarship but not JPA. Nick convinced me that MARA is not opened for non-bumis. So, there's no chance for him or so thats what he said to me. :P

[Miracle_seed]

Yeah, but its only open for MARA scholarship but not JPA. Nick convinced me that MARA is not opened for non-bumis. So, there's no chance for him or so thats what he said to me. :PI didn't see the second column, so it's just for MARA this time, and yes MARA is for bumis only.

[Nicholasng925]

I didn't see the second column, so it's just for MARA this time, and yes MARA is for bumis only.

yeah from this link, it is clearly stated that JPA won't offer Actuarial Science anymore, as below:

22. Kenapa bidang Sains Aktuari tidak ditawarkan di bawah PILN 2010?
Bidang Sains Aktuari tidak lagi ditawarkan untuk ke luar negara kerana
bidang tersebut tidak lagi tergolong dalam bidang keutamaan.

From the link: http://esilav2.jpa.gov.my/esila_new/piln/doc/faq/faq_piln_2010.pdf, and it broke my heart!!! :(

[castle]

As stated at the various websites, the example for the Science course including Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy and Geology, and maybe there are others inside the course. I think i'd be better clarified if i call the JPA guys in person. What is sastera ikhtisas meant? Is that humanities? Inside the course, it's involving Quantitative, and that is exactly the course that attracted me too as it involves a lot of maths in the financial problems. Hope that someone can clarify it further for me. Thanks in advance and i really appreciate it. :)

Try engineering or actuarial science...A lot of numbers involved.

[Nicholasng925]

Try engineering or actuarial science...A lot of numbers involved.

I intended to choose actuarial science, but unfortunately it'd not be offered by JPA this year, and that was heart-breaking news. :cry Maybe engineering, economics or science will do.

i want to apply JPA for the science course( physics,biology,..etc) going to UK and US. Does anyone know what job can we do after studying? Will I get a job in the goverment? Can i enter universities and become lecturers? I am quite blur about this course.

[Keiko123]

I have seen through the esila website, does chemical engineering include in the engineering courses?Does BC's grade include in jpa consideration?
Yes of course. Engineering is just the course you take, but then you have to specify which Engineering sooner or later.
I guess JPA doesn't count BC in... you can refer to the requirements in JPA/eSila website.

Yes of course you can request... whether JPA accepts it or not, it depends.. but usually they are negotiable and will consider it if necesarry.

ur can apply to many scholarship including JPA.
Applying for scholarship also depends on whether ur r a bumiputra or not. If u r, ur chances are higher so u can apply for overseas for all. If u r not, I suggest u apply for local for other scholarship like TNB, telekom, etc but JPA u can take a shot in applying for overseas. This is because under JPA if u dun get the overseas scholarship, u might qualify for the local scholarship.

I have seen through the esila website, does chemical engineering include in the engineering courses?Does BC's grade include in jpa consideration?
It depends on which subject did u get BC for. For the engineering course, u hv to get at least As for Maths, Add. Maths, & Physics, I think...

chelsh, i would advice you on writing a letter to JPA of applying scholarship for your offer from UK universities and attach the copy of that offer letter.. The might consider it... If you apply for PILN, you will have to go through another preparation program and apply again for oversea universities if you got PILN...

you can try to apply for jpa scholarship..although your pendidikan moral is B+...due to information of some recom member last year, they were success to attend the interview and manage to get the scholarship..
you can browse some malaysia scholarship website...there are a lot scholarship you can apply

I have seen through the esila website, does chemical engineering include in the engineering courses?Does BC's grade include in jpa consideration?



chemical engineering is under engineering course based on my information..BC's grade is not so important..you have to read the criteria and requirement for the subject that you wish to apply

i want to apply JPA for the science course( physics,biology,..etc) going to UK and US. Does anyone know what job can we do after studying? Will I get a job in the goverment? Can i enter universities and become lecturers? I am quite blur about this course.


if you manage to get jpa scholarship..you do not have to worry you wont get a job..because you will get a job from government....if you want to become lecturers you need at least a master in the particular courses that you take

[nemosmknimh]

For your information, if you want to apply for any type of engineering, just apply for engineering. JPA will allow you to choose which engineering. But do some research on which engineering does Germany, France, Japan and Korea provide.

girl, if your results suit the requirements for biotech, just go for it...
usually chem engineering are offered at USA....
not very sure of Germany and French. that's why i do said of doing research on the engineering course provided in these countries...

hurmm im not sure if it is stated in wiki. try to go to france engineering and germany engineering thread... if not, you can refer to Boyz Zoo for France engineering. Germany, Vseehua can help you with that. Or you can ask from those thread.

Economics, JPA do send to New Zealand, not sure of other countries.

Engineering, beside those specific countries, Australia, New Zealand, Canada I guess and USA.

[Miracle_seed]

Thanks for your reply, but i thought i saw JPA only send their scholars to US, Canada and UK for economics. So i wish to know which country the JPA usually send their scholars to for economics. :)Normally there would be more to US, and may be Canada. UK is less common for economics.

Why UK is less common for economics??? Because of the sterling exchange rate? I prefers UK though... :)

[orthopod]

most malaysians prefer a higher education in uk as opposed to other countries.tradionally looked upn v highly but in actual fact the standard is not as high as north american standard in most fields

[Miracle_seed]

Why UK is less common for economics??? Because of the sterling exchange rate? I prefers UK though... :)Just my observation, JPA tend to send less students to UK, especially when the same course is available in US, Australia etc, but I don't know the exact reason, you could be correct anyway.

[Boyz_Zoo]

Normally and mostly, which countries will JPA send the scholars to for the course of Economics and Engineering??? :)
there are five options for JPA scholarship in the engineering course.
a) France Engineering
b) Germany engineering
c) Japan Engineering
d) Korea Engineering
e) engineering

For engineering, normally they send people to US than the other countries. I dun knw y but most of my fren who got general engineering wen to US. The other courses is a bit tought as u hv to learn a new language, but look at the bright side it can be an advantage.

For France and german engineering, you have the chances of finishing ur master under JPA scholarship if u got into engineering school, a special uni for engineers only.

If you any specify question, i can try to help u further.

dun wry if u can't speak french or german, u can learn if u got the scholarship. I am under France Engineering and i hv nvr learned french till i studied at here. and u kn tat courses with requirement of learning xtra language has less competition
Biotech can be said to high chances, but ur results is quite good, i think u can consider taking up engineering courses.

Oh okay, thanks by the way. JPA aren't really rich as they need to sponsor 1999 other PILN scholars and 2000 PIDN scholars at the same time. They'll try their best to save the cost as little as possible.

The above advices, even not for me, but i really appreciate that. For the answers of my questions, thanks for your reply. But which course would have less competition and have higher chances on getting the scholarship? Different years may varies, but i don't think it'd make a lot of differences. For now, i'm eyeing on Economics as i can turn into actuarial field anytime upon graduation, but for Engineering, i can't turn into actuarial science in future. :(

So i guess you want to pursue actuarial, is it?
hurmmm... I THINK, only assume so dont really believe me. Engineering has more applicants than econs BUT engineeering also usually has more places than econs. So more or less the competitions are quite about the same. What matter is your performance. That is why interviews are for. Take times to brush up your intrapersonel skills, interview skills and all that... And practice also to be critical. All the best!

yeah i was actually intended to opt actuarial science, but then for now, JPA don't offer it anymore, so i guess i have to choose a actuarial related field such as Economics. Based on the statistics done by Chen Chow years ago about the percentage of JPA scholarship given to SPM'07 leavers, Economics applicants stand quite a high chances on getting both interview and even the scholarships, even higher than Engineering. But as i said, different years may varies, so i can't really tell for this year. As usual, Engineering'd be the hot cake now along with Medicine, Law, and Accounting.

I'm a pessimist when it comes to education. :D
Inferiority,I guess so. :)

Just hope for the best,for now.

how to know does the government still offering the "extra 2000 local programme"?
cause i scared that my results can't get JPA PILN scholarships
my results are :

Are you intending to pursue your tertiary education in the bio-related course?

Congrats anyway! :)

i intend to purse medicine course only

[Boyz_Zoo]

can we apply for both mara and jpa? because i heard that last year (for bumi applicant) need to choose either mara or jpa (only one application). That's quite confusing me as there is no statement given by jpa and mara.
you have to choose one of them. u can choose both unfortunately now.


Oh okay, now i understand. Can anyone suggest me to take which course based on my result??? Economics or Engineering??? or maybe other course? And which course do i stands higher chance of getting for the interview and even the scholarship? And which one has a better job prospect in future? I scored A+ for Add maths, Maths, Physics, Account, Moral and History... A for BM, BI, Chemistry and Biology. Thanks in advance and i really appreciate it. :)
If you are the type who are interested in Actuarial Science, then Economics is the better choice for you, in my opinion. You dun have to worry of not taking basic economy in SPM as one of my fren who is full science got JPA scholarship for economies last year.
I am quite devastated with my result. Haih.

Am I eligible for any scholarship? I'm a Sabahan and a Bumiputra.
Thinking of Medic but the dream seems so distant with what I've obtained in SPM.
Your results is quite good in my opinion and yes, you can apply for medicine. You got all straight As, so dun worry.
My results r 10 a+ n 3 a (for tamil lit, ict n biology). I applied for engineering for jpa. Do i stand a chance or will other courses be better for me? Thanks in advance.
Tamil lit, i respect you man for taking subjects that rarely people take. Anyway, yes you stand a chance in getting engineering course. Don't decide ur course based on the scholarship cause this course will be ur future career and u shouldn't regret choosing the course. And you jz have to hope for luck to get the scholarship.
I gt 7A+ and 3As(bio accounts and bm)still gt chance to get medic?is the application for jpa dalam negara open yet?
Frankly, depends on whether you r a bumi or not. if u r then got chances. if u r not, chances are lower but i think you can get it if u r lucky.
the application for PIDN is open at the same time at PILN
how to know does the government still offering the "extra 2000 local programme"?

Is the IPTS scholarship given by JPA still available?
Is it available automatically for applicants of PILN who failed to secure it?

I just want to have a safe and alternative route if i fail to secure PILN

yes, it is still available to be ur safety net.

Which means to say that if we failed to secure the PILN, the IPTS is offered automatically to deserving students?

[Boyz_Zoo]

Yeah, i'm now applying on Economics for both JPA scholarship and Petronas Scholarship. Wow, the friend of you really lucky i guess. How was his/her performances back in the interview, and also the result? He/she is a bumi or non bumi? Does it stand high chances on getting into interview and even securing the scholarship based on my result, provided that i do well in interview??? :)

He is not a bumi. his performance in the interview, i dun knw but i knw him and his not the excellent in talking in the interview type.

Interview, you hv 100% chances of getting in. JPA will shortlist nearly everyone for the interview as long as they dun Bs for the certain subjects like BM, Moral, Islam and so on.

yes, you have a high chances and you must knw one thing. most of the smart students are in the science stream and they will choose science-based career, so there is less competition in art related subjects except for accounts as sme of them also took accounts for SPM. Economics, the opportunity is quite high.

Oh okay, anyway he was great. For the interview part, that's quite convincing based on your statement. Well, you're right that most of the science students choose science-based career, and i think not many science students'd opt for art streams subjects. But, my intention is to switch from Economics into Actuarial Science if possible in future. Thanks for advising me anyway!!! :amuse

my fren gt B+ for est and the rest are all A+.does she stand a chance to do medicine abroad.btwn she is a chinese

[Boyz_Zoo]

my fren gt B+ for est and the rest are all A+.does she stand a chance to do medicine abroad.btwn she is a chinese
then, she stand a chance since she got A+ for the other subjects. tat's quite good.

[weiping2007]

not automatically, but stand a chance to get PIDN instead.

meaning that we need to reapply again? because last year my friend's brother apply PILN...then he get into local private university CUCMS...

[BattleBoyz]

meaning that we need to reapply again? because last year my friend's brother apply PILN...then he get into local private university CUCMS...

I think its an automatic process. The scholarship application is already closed by that time. Anyway, i got 9A+, 2A (biology and chinese lit) and 2A- (history and bc) I'm going for engineering courses but still wondering which country is best for it. :P

[smy]

if i get 7A+ and 3As for bio,bm and accounts is there a HIGH POSSIBILITY that i will get jpa to do medic since i got As for main subjects like bm and bio

[Miracle_seed]

If you are sure about your interest, and firm about your choice, I think it's better to start preparing for interview, instead of questioning own chances, since you no longer have control over your results, interview is the only part that you can make a difference.

Actuarial science is a professional-qualification career, so it is not a pre-requisite to have a degree in Actuarial Science. You do however, need to pass all your professional exams, sort of like passing the ACCA Papers to practice as an accountant. Your preparation seems adequate but do try to broaden your range by applying to Bank Negara and the Securities Commission. JPA is a relatively easy scholarship to win compared to Bank Negara or the Securities Commission. Once you are majoring in Economics however, be sure to take courses in statistics, calculus, linear algebra and many more advanced math courses. In short, take math until it hurts. (Actually it is more advisable to take math until it kills.) After that, you are on track to become an actuarist. My cohort is the last batch to study actuarial science abroad.

Well, actually i have applied for Bank Negara, Khazanah Global Scholarship and Security Commission(just filled in yesterday, not yet summit) for the course of Actuarial Science. In this long holiday, i myself do have studied college maths such as Poisson Distribution(just formula and ways to use the formula), Polynomials, Long Division in Polynomials, Complex numbers and Rational Roots Theorem. If i have any chance in taking advanced maths courses, surely i will try my best to study it. In fact, if i have to go study Form 6 in the end, i have decided to take up Further Maths T besides Maths T, PA, Physics and Chemistry. The professional actuarial exams varies from different actuarial boards in different countries. In instance, US has two main actuarial society, SOA and CAS which have 8 papers and 9 papers respectively for the candidates to pass, in order to become a qualified actuary. In Australia, there are 3 stages for actuarial board. First stage can be exempted if you study an actuarial degree in university, while second stage can be exempted if you attain Honour Degree. Third stage is specification, where it is compulsory for you to choose and study for another 2 and a half years. Then, the rest'd be practices. In UK, there'd be exemption as well for different universities. Thanks anyway!!! :)

You really have done your research. I was shortlisted for the Securities Commission's interview last year. I went through all the stages but didn't go through the personality test (to determine your character). If you need any help from your essay to what to expect from the stages of interview, I can offer my 0.02.

[adele123]

Hmm... May i ask why you apply for economics? (I mean, since you are so interested in actuarial)

[Nicholasng925]

Hmm... May i ask why you apply for economics? (I mean, since you are so interested in actuarial)

It's because i want to apply for JPA scholarship, and since there is no offer for Actuarial Science this year, so i have to choose something related to Actuarial Science rather than those Engineering, Accounting or anything else. If i got Economics, so i can find my ways to switch into actuarial field upon graduation. But if i got scholarship for Engineering, i have no chance at all to switch into actuarial field. I know, it can be more wasting time if i study Economics first for 5 years from now, but i just wish to secure an overseas scholarship. Maybe i'll find myself like Economics more when i study it. To be an actuary not necessarily to take actuarial science degree, but to take the professional exams. The degree is only help to ease the process of qualification.

[arinkorin]

hello all, new here. just wondering, does anyone know whether the Biasiswa Nasional is open for online application? :) thanks in advance!

[Judith]

I already applied for PILN ,but i can't find the link for PIDN.Does it mean that once i apply for PILN,my name is automatically in PIDN system?

[Miracle_seed]

Edited: Last year, some students who applied for PILN, but didn't manage to secure overseas scholarships, were given scholarship to study in local universities, which include IPTS and IPTA.

So, in short, you apply for PILN, if you didn't manage to secure overseas scholarship, you might still get a scholarship to study locally.

I think theres a slight misunderstanding here. Economics although involving math, is not very math intense in contrast with actuarial science (except for maybe Game theory and econometrics). I believe it is better to take engineering in undergrad then switch to actuarial science. This is a common case, especially in the States. Economics is more a subjective course (there is no such thing as a fixed answer, unlike math), and memorising definitions is crucial too.

I beg to differ. For those who intend to pursue a PhD in the field, the math is very intense, in fact PhD candidates sometimes feel as if what they are doing is not econs. As Mike Moaffat pointed out in his website, the math is not just calculus, but a virtuous cycle of theorem-proof theorem-proof. However, this probably comes close to those who doesn't want to go to grad school for economics. Otherwise, finish game theory by your senior year, by then linear algebra, real analysis and such should be courses that you have taken by then.

Gregory Mankiw, the Harvard Economist who served as Bush's NCEA Chairman offers this advice (http://gregmankiw.blogspot.com/2006/05/which-math-courses.html).

[Judith]

Actually there isn't any PIDN for SPM leavers, PIDN is for local degree students. There is such confusion because last year, some students who applied for PILN, but didn't manage to secure overseas scholarships, were given scholarship to study in local private universities.

So, in short, you apply for PILN, if you didn't manage to secure overseas scholarship, you might still get a scholarship to study locally.
Thank you very much.:)

[Miracle_seed]

I reread the information provided in the first page of the thread, and indeed PIDN is the name given this year to the local scholarship given to students who failed to secure overseas scholarship, sponsoring them from pre-U up to degree level. Still, I think this should be differentiated from the PIDN for undergraduate students.

Sorry for the mistake earlier.

[Xon]

My best wishes to all here (including myself). XD

Nah, JPA loves to changes their policies. They way they play the game. On the meantime,polish your English. It boost your confidence for the interviews.

So, i think it's the same link for both,right?
It's ok,you even refer for more information,thank you.^^

[adele123]

I believe it is better to take engineering in undergrad then switch to actuarial science.

Erm... engineering and actuarial absolutely no connection? Switching from engineering to actuarial, not very logical at all. Wasting 4 years of studying engineering and then... another unknown number of years trying to pass be granted associate/fellowship member by the profesional bodies. It's absolutely irrational.

Jpa is weird, not offering actuarial... but then... not like malaysia need alot of them.

economics and actuarial, actually, very different too... Although economics form part of actuary's profesional qualification. I feel the closest thing to actuarial is actually quantitative finance. Using maths to judge, whether which field is close to actuarial, is a wrong yardstick... Econometrics and engineering maths and the stats that actuarial students study, kinda very different...

PS: sorry mod, diverting from the topic

I have been following your posts. Hehe. But I think you gonna decide yourself on the route you think most appropriate. After all, no one knows you better than yourself. :amuse

[bekann]

But, my intention is to switch from Economics into Actuarial Science if possible in future. Thanks for advising me anyway!!! :amuse

Can you actually do that? Is is compatible, or even similar?
Why don't you try applying for Actuarial Science in Bank Negara or Khazanah scholarship?

[Miracle_seed]

So, i think it's the same link for both,right?
It's ok,you even refer for more information,thank you.^^If the same applies this year, there shouldn't be separate application involved. However, it's better to check their website from time to time, if there is any update.

[adele123]

Can you actually do that? Is is compatible, or even similar?

Is actuarial similar to economics? Definitely not. Do actuarial students study economics? Yes, they do.

[Nicholasng925]

Can you actually do that? Is is compatible, or even similar?
Why don't you try applying for Actuarial Science in Bank Negara or Khazanah scholarship?

Actuarial Science actually not really similar with Economics, but they do have some relations. So i think it's up to me to choose my own path, even though it might be not really smooth, but i hope to end at the same point.

I have applied for both as well. :) But i know that both Bank Negara and Khazanah are very hard and competitive, and i have even experienced it last time by using trial result. I went for the BNM interview, and the Stage 1 for Khazanah, but unfortunately both are failed. So i'm going to try them once again this time, and i swear i'll try my very best. :)

I have been following your posts. Hehe. But I think you gonna decide yourself on the route you think most appropriate. After all, no one knows you better than yourself. :amuse

Thanks Xon, yeah i think i should make up my mind. Even though Economics and Engineering might differ from each other, but both are still applying Maths into their courses, and that is for sure. So, in conclusion, i still doubt with my decision. :P Which course have more actuarial-related maths??? Engineering or Economics? or maybe Maths(it's under Science)? That should be my question. :) Thanks for the advices Xon. :)

[zarionette]

science is huge field of study and of course math under science, but u need to know that courses like biomedic and else are also under science, different institution or orgnstion define their courses differently, for example, those who want to take engineering at UM will take physical sc. courses but at UIA, physical sc. and enginering are two different courses.. so i think d best way is you urself call the JPA guy to clarify it..

So, it does mean that i'll have to select science if i wanna study maths right? Just needing clarifications on this as jpa only offers science in local u.

Btw, there is this option i saw in the 'syarat permohonan jpa utk piln' that the mathematics(also the only stated maths course/programme) offered is under the tesl programme. BUT, you got to study it in aus or nz if you were to secure the scholarship.

Say if the highlighted statement is true, how come there's this difference in both the offers?

Which course have more actuarial-related maths??? Engineering or Economics? or maybe Maths(it's under Science)? That should be my question.

There are a few subjects or areas which are vital to actuarial students (wherever you study) like stochastic, financial maths, life contingencies, risk theory, regression etc (maybe should be more)

I dont know what engineering students study. Logic tells me it's very different.

Economics, if you study econometrics, ya, it's economics maths. Related or notto actuarial? I think not, simply because i dont need to take it.

According to my lecturer, yes, some maths course will be helpful especially for stochastic. He mentioned something about differential equation sort of leads to stochastic. ( i have seriously bad memory, sry if i rmb wrongly)
Calculus and linear algebra also important (judging the fact that i have to study them)

Quantitative finance. The closest thing to actuarial I know. Not that close actually. Both QFin and actuarial students study a few subjects together.

Oh i see. Thanks for the reply and the answers. Yeah i think Engineering maths is far way difference than the actuarial maths. So it can be out of my list now. Quantitative Science... i thought i saw it under the "sastera ikhtisas", but i not really sure though. Maths is definitely close to Actuarial Science, and quantitative science do have some similar to Actuarial Science. Oh my god, now i have more choices already... Economics, Science(Maths), "Sastera Ikhtisas"???? Which one??? Which one stands higher chances on getting it for me? :)

I'm a Science student intending to convert to Commerce/Art stream.
May I know if I'm still eligible to apply for Econs if I only took 2 subjects(Phy& Chemy, both A+) out of these 7 subjects? I got all A+ except for Bio(A), Moral and Chinese(both A-).
I'm also wondering if the grade for 1119 would be taken into consideration? Cause I heard rumours that it is not considered as a grade anymore, but they still print it on the slip.

A.the no cukai pendapatan is ur father's LHDN number.he should have it i think.ask him.n for the pencen,it is for government worker.so if ur father o mother working in private sectors,there shouldnt be any no pencen .this is what my mom said.but u can always ask ither people in this thread since they know more.

"mendapat sekurang-kurangnya gred A- dalam tiga (3) daripada mana-mana matapelajaran berikut :
g)
Ekonomi Asas / Fizik / Kimia / Prinsip Perakaunan / Perdagangan / Pengajian Keusahawanan / Geografi."


I'm a Science student intending to convert to Commerce/Art stream.
May I know if I'm still eligible to apply for Econs if I only took 2 subjects(Phy& Chemy, both A+) out of these 7 subjects? I got all A+ except for Bio(A), Moral and Chinese(both A-).
I'm also wondering if the grade for 1119 would be taken into consideration? Cause I heard rumours that it is not considered as a grade anymore, but they still print it on the slip.

I was a science stream student in high school like you and am sponsored by JPA for economics. In short, I think I am in a good position to offer you advice.

Basically what that statement meant is you need to have at least an A- in one of the subjects listed above. I see you have Chemistry and Physics, so you have fulfilled .67 of the criteria. Now, if I remember correctly I think they have also listed Mathematics and Additional Mathematics on the list, and if you have an A in those two, then apply. Economics is math intensive, especially once you start graduate school. Unless you are content with your B.A. in Econs, get prepared for some math-bashing. I think you stand a pretty decent chance in getting the scholarship based on your grades, though your ECA achievements will potentially help you to. Words from the wise, apply to as many scholarship bodies as you can.

Thank you.
I was waiting for your reply. Maths and Add Maths are under the category of 6 compulsory subjects required(fulfill this but not the other) while those I posted here are optional subjects.
Just curious, are we given the choices to apply for a few programmes we are interested in or we have to choose only ONE out of all those programmes offered?(I haven't seen how the online application form is like since I have been unable to access the website at all from morning till now.) T.T
If I can only choose a course, do you think it's wise if I apply for Econs since I do not fulfill the requirement for the optional subjects?

Well, this is the caveat: All scholarship awarding bodies adhere strictly to a guideline. Therefore if they deem that you have not met the requirements or any of the cut-off, it is natural that they have to eliminate you from the shortlist. Remember, scholarships like that are situations where they have to allocate finite resources in (relatively) infinite ways. It will however, be a wise choice to seek further clarification regarding the optional subjects, last year Add Maths and Maths were listed as optional subjects and the only 3 compulsory subjects are Moral, History and BM.(Email or call up JPA, they'll be gladly be of help) By the way,1119 will not be taken into account, but it might be useful when you apply for university. Canada's University of Toronto exempts people who regard English as their first language and who also has an A1 in 1119 from submitting english proficiency test results.

Last year's applicants were only allowed to choose 1.

[Miracle_seed]

Before last year (or the year before that, not sure) applicants can choose a few courses by rank (1st choice, 2nd choice, etc.) But last year's applicants were only allowed to choose 1.
I never know this, I think JPA is always one single choice.

[Huwiez]

i'm a science stream student and i've got 11A+ and 1A(chinese) in SPM. for applying for piln, my first choice is medic and second is dentistry. but from what i saw in the country-available column, for medic course, even i m able to get, it is hard to get a place in the country i want(uk or new zealand), especially as a non-bumi. but for dentistry, i might have higher chance to get the country i want (as the only options provided are australia, india, ireland, new zealand & uk).
so, can i put dentistry for piln first, but when if i dont get a place in overseas program, i change to medic for the local level? i m rather confusing about the piln n pidn. are we going to apply them separately or automatically we are linked to the application of pidn if we dont get a place in piln? i could not find the application form for pidn. next, what's the 2000-place for ipta-or-ipts scholarships as mentioned about last year's situation? is it considered as piln or pidn?
sorry if i have sounded rude or arrogant, but i really don't mean it. thanks for any information or advice.

sorry if i have sounded rude or arrogant, but i really don't mean it. thanks for any information or advice.First, you have to make yourself clear, you are interested in medicine or dentistry? Medicine and dentistry may have similar structure of course in initial phase, they are quite different career. We do not encourage to choose any course just because you want to go to a particular country. While dentistry may offer more "attractive" countries, places allocated are not in 1:1 ratio for all countries.

For second part of your query, last year, there wasn't a separate application involved for the IPTA/IPTS scholarship, so whatever course you applied for PILN, you will be given the same course if you are given local scholarship instead. However I'm not sure if you can change it after you secure the scholarship. This is last year's trend, it might not be exactly the same, just take it as a reference.

First, as miracleseed metioned...make clear urself izt dentistry or medicine dat u want? If u'r thinking that it'll b easier to secure "better" countries 4 dentistry, thnk again. Only around 20 scholars were offered to UK & Ireland for dentistry during my batch. Besides, places 4 dentistry(and also medicine) are extremely limited in these countries. Even after securing the scholarship, u haf 2 prove ur worth to be accepted into these unis. No place is guaranteed. Excelling in SPM in juz d initial step...ther's still a very long journey ahead.Keep ur cool and all the best.

Hi. I am wondering if I stand a chance to obtain a scholarship with my SPM result.

BM: A+
BI: A+
PM: A
SEJ: B+
M3: A+
A. M3: A+
PHY: A+
CHEM: A
BIO: A
EST: A-
1119 GCE-0 - 1A

I know that the criteria stated for at least an A- for Sejarah but I got a B+.
I did not care much about Sejarah considering the fact that I read only about 5 chapters.
So, do I stand a chance?

I think you are eligible but to make it sure, try asking the questions at JPA tajaan tambahan thread.

Are they continuing the JPA Tajaan Tambahan Programme? Cause in some of the threads I read online, they have stopped it already.:cry

To be frank, unlikely. You need to have the equivalent of A2 in History, BM and Moral. Still, there is no harm trying and hopefully they could see that your stellar grades more than compensate your ignorance of history. Still, be prepared that it is extremely unlikely. Start searching for alternative avenues. I have no idea what field are you interested in but here is a Hint hint: Securities Commission, Sime Darby, Shell, Petronas, Yayasan Telekom.

Firstly, I dont really think you sound arrogant. Lols. It is definitely a tough decision to make with the new grading system. I believe the education dept has ranked all the SPM scorers this year. It solely depends on whether you're confident enough to take on either course. I scored 11A1s myself and landed a JPA scolarship in medic (Czech rep). Its very nice here, I'd say. :) If its still 2007, I'd predict Czech/ Poland for medic and India for dentistry. Yes, it is tough to get "nice" countries for non-bumis (no racial matter intended). Maybe you can opt for Petronas other scholarships as a backup plan. I'm sure you'll be alright with that excellent result. Good luck! :wink

xylNOSAJ, I think there is a pdf file on JPA web that you can download to decide as to whether your result fits the course you're applying for. I noticed that the requirements has been increased this year! :huh I do agree with kykoay that you can try on other scholarships..and your result is pretty good tho. All the best!

[adele123]

Are they continuing the JPA Tajaan Tambahan Programme? Cause in some of the threads I read online, they have stopped it already.:cry

Have a look at the Tajaan Tambahan (overseass) thread. They have been some positive feedback that they are not stopped. Post your queries there instead.

even you cant get the scholarship, it's beneficial too in increasing your interview skills.(regretting of didn't apply back then, interview i ever attend is 0)

I think applying for engineering is the right choice, considering the fact that JPA offers many seats for engineering plus Shell and Petronas with majority in engineering as well. You can choose the country this year? :amazed
I think you should follow your instinct..in my year, many didn't get the ones they choose (in the interview). I do think you stand a good chance. Just gear up well if you're chosen for the interview!

Yes, bring the originals and certified photocopies (as backup).
Sijil kewarganegaraan is for parents born before independence. Otherwise, ignore part vi.

[chalkamaniac]

Hey guys, this is about the Program Pendedahan Kerjaya Seorang Doktor. It's only for those who applied for Medicine in the JPA scholarship, rite? Let's say you got accepted. But somehow or rather, after the program, you find that you no longer wanna do Medicine.... Then can you change to another course?

[wcing]

Yes, bring the originals and certified photocopies (as backup).
Sijil kewarganegaraan is for parents born before independence. Otherwise, ignore part vi.

I've asked my dad who was born before independence whether or not he has a sijil kewarganegaraan but he says he doesn't have. What should I do?

[unsolvedcryptex]

i applied for "Pergigian", and erm after i read the Q&A, i realized there's a problem for me... since i will be going for National Service 2nd batch, i figured i would bring all the required documents to the camp, until i read this:


A NS-bound recommer here.

Since there were some interviews conducted using trial results, those who went for interview were allowed to return one day before the interview. But that depends and varies from camps to camps. For my camp, Kem Millennium, Beranang, those attending interview can go back one day earlier and must return on the day itself after the interview. That is my camp. I do hope that ur camp will not send u to the interview venue themselves as this will burden you.

So ask yourself is the camp nearby to your house? If your parents can come and pick you up anytime, then go keep those documents at home and request that your parents pick you up.

But let's say if you are from East Malaysia coming to West, then it might be advisable to have that original copy with you and ask the administration to keep it safely for you. Don't worry. Even those trainers are willing to keep your valuable items with them but I advise you not to do so like your mp3 players because sometimes they are MIA.

Any other better suggestions? I still think that bringing original documents for interview for NS trainees is too much as we are holding our parents' documents.

[yanno_yamster]

I've asked my dad who was born before independence whether or not he has a sijil kewarganegaraan but he says he doesn't have. What should I do?

Does he have a birth cert? If he has then you don't need sijil kewarganegaraan.
Sijil kewarganegaraan is actually some sort like a birth cert for those born before independence.

yup its pretty near my house, around 2 hours of travelling @<hidden>@<hidden> well at least stil in east m'sia (AND somehow i realize its redundant to mention my results zzzzz)

anyways, i dont know if i'll be goin for the interview *sighs* @<hidden>@<hidden> was asking the ques in advance...

if we were to bring the certs to the camp, it literally means we'll be holding onto it for 3 months right? i do hope i dont lose it... and erm i don't think we have any other choice right? it says black and white there, "asal" >..< so... what would happen if i just bring photostated copies? they'll straightaway kick me outta the room?

You can try writing an email based on your situation. I'm sure there have been people through your situation before too. I doubt they will kick you out of the room. You will probably *just* be marked down...

2 hours of drive is indeed far but my camp is around 1 hour and 15 mins from my house. So I think that the 2 hours of drive from camp to your house may just be okay if you are really willing to go for the extra mile to secure yourself jpa.


Ans to the quote above: In the event that the camp decided to send you directly to there, then you have no choice but to bring your certs to camp right for 3 months? Worry not as you parents can visit you EVERY sunday from 9am -5pm. So as soon as the interview is over or you deem that you no longer need to use it for other interviews and further usage, quickly ask your parents to take the total of 4 hours of drive to take back all the documents. You do not have to hold it for 3 months. I still suggest that the admins at the camp can safely keep it. They kept more than 400 ICs well.

Hope this answer will help you to find a solution other than of course e-mailing them and explain your situation. That is one of the things you can try doing right now. I suggest you try that first.:))

Hey guys, this is about the Program Pendedahan Kerjaya Seorang Doktor. It's only for those who applied for Medicine in the JPA scholarship, rite? Let's say you got accepted. But somehow or rather, after the program, you find that you no longer wanna do Medicine.... Then can you change to another course?

poor you for being neglected...

The purpose of that program is to make you realize the real job of a doctor which is not really as what people think as luxury and all that.
Thus, if you change your mind, you can do so during your interview.

[chocs]

hello, I need help here.
We need to print the borang pengesahan pendapatan, fill it then bring it on the day of the interview right? I've take a look and I've seen that we need to get the signature of our principal. So, what if we live far away from our school? My school is about 12 hrs by car from my house. Any solution to this?

[JinHan2883]

actually,i really need ur opinion regarding jpa scholarship..
for ur information,i got 6a+,4a,n 1b+ for my spm result including a+ for my add maths n pyhsics..n b+ for my biology..
so i think engineering c0urse would be easier for me to get that scholarship..
but my problem rite now is what c0untry for engineering should i apply for?france?japan?
n what is the chance for me to get that particular scholarship?

pls2!!help me!

Xon: I moved your thread here to attract the correct attention.

Every specific country has their own well-known engineering courses. In my opinion, u should choose a country which would help u in ur future field of study, but not purposely choose the one which is easier to get the scholarship. So be clear of what kind of engineering course u interested in. Good luck!

hello everybody.. erm.. may i ask... what are the chances of applying veterinary science under JPA? what kind of pre u course will i have to study? I would be glad if someone can tell me more about this course.. thanks in advance!!! :)

It is not necessarily your own principal. Other principals may do or goverment officer pangkat3.

I'm not quite sure but they do send students to Aussie and NZ and take AUSMAT during preparation. Other countries, I'm not sure

It depends on what country you are assigned to. If you are to be sent to Australia/NZ, it's probably AUSMAT for Pre-U. If they decide to send you to Canada, it will be a little bit more challenging.Your Pre-U course will be Taylor's CPU.Securing a place in vet school in Canada is extremely competitive, especially for international students. You don't have much choice in terms of university.Besides you don't go to vet school immediately. In North America Med, Vet and Law are regarded as postgraduate professional courses. So you have to get your undergrad degree in science, sit for your AMCAT before you are admitted into vet school. It takes 7 years in total.

erm i'm a SPM '09 leaver too, and well erm this is my result:
4A+ (PM, BI, MT, MM), 4A (SEJ, BIO, CHE, PHY), A- (BM), B+ (EST) & B (BC).

i applied for "Pergigian", and erm after i read the Q&A, i realized there's a problem for me... since i will be going for National Service 2nd batch, i figured i would bring all the required documents to the camp, until i read this:

Hey, finally i've found someone here at recom who is in the same boat as me! i'm ns-bound too and has applied for JPA.

Anyway, do you mind me asking whether did you call up the ns department to ask about anything concerning the jpa interview, such as how long can we be out of the camp prior to the date of interview etc?

[Boyz_Zoo]

dun wry. in the form, it is stated tat if u r enrolled in NS, they asked u to fill the camp place. This is because they will call u for the interview near to ur NS camp and you are allowed to leave NS for the day for the interview. I think only 3 days.

dun wry, they won't ask specific things of pharmacy cause you haven't actually learn about it. Worse case scenario is they will ask something which is common sense for a future pharmacy to know.

[george1209]

HiHi, regarding the question u asked, u dun have to worry so much. I will be majoring in pharmacy in nz nxt year. During my time, they ask question like organ donation for the group discussion. That's all. All you have to do now is to know a little bit more about health issues and latest info. Juz to keep urself update. The question is quite general and u can answer directly. What they require from the interviewee is how u respond to the question and even english proficiency...but not too much

[george1209]

that means the pendptan kasar there i put 0.00 ???..and if interview just show them the pencen slip is it????

Usually, pharmacy applicants will be interviewed togther with dentistry and medic... So you will most probably will be asked of current health issue..

The interviewer will not ask anything that u can't really answer. The questions are general and can be seen anywhere from internet and news. They do not expect u to give the technical and scientific terms which are unfair to u all. During my time, not all the interviewees are majoring in pharmacy and hence the questions asked are more related to medical field in general. Frankly speaking, i din really prepare any related issues prior to the interview. I juz read newspapers within the weeks be4 the interview. I can't actually give u the exact info since i'm not in my degree yet but anyway, anything related, anesthetic or H1N1, u juz have to skim and glance through. Better prepare urself on english speaking coz this year seems to be the most competitive year ever. Keep it up

[nickvl]

Just read newspapers daily and keep up to date with current issues and not just sciences but general knowledge...

Will they ask about something that totally has nothing to do with medicine like education?We should try to stand out in group discussion or just say the main points?I will do my best.:nod

[nickvl]

Yes possible. In my year, they started asking about what we thought of our school education system and that wasn't really relevant to the course we applied...

Perhaps they just want to test your general knowledge. Of course try to stand out and yet don't overshadow the others...

[YPing]

Basically, education can also be a possible topic. The interviewers do have a list of questions. If the questions are really related to u, for instance as u mentioned, education, medical field, social issues, they will definitely pick one to ask. Mostly the questions can either be debated or discussed thoroughly among the interviewees. The expect u to provide ur own constructive opinions and examples based on the questions. The meaning of stand out means?? in group discussion, u have to be tolerated and natural, be it a normal conversation. They will juz observe u along the discussion. As for main points, give any examples u noe. If not, juz stick to main points as long as u do say stg. Be noted that the second part of interview is also a discussion. But u r not required to discuss wif other interviewees. U r given time to prepare the facts and points about the topic and one by one, u have to present ur ideas.

You give lot of useful information,thank you.^^Then,i guess i will try hard to learn more about current and health issue. By saying stand out,i mean to give more opinion than others. But i have seen your post and it's the best to give everyone a chance to prove themselves since everyone sure wanted it so much(including myself:P). Good night.

reminder: don't dominate the interview!!! You can try to give more and detailed opinions but always make sure that you don't too long or too much until they get bored.

Bonne Chance!!! (gud luck)

i would like to ask a question..

for the kegiatan sukan part..
i do not represent any levels for sports

well i believe it does affect somehow or another... did you join any recreational activities like chess or carrom? those are considered sports/games as well... or even if you've took part in your school's sports day, it can be in...

If you REALLY have no other options but to leave it blank, then go ahead, but don't give up with your application. you will never know the outcome of it...

Hmmmm, I'm rather doubtful that JPA will increase the quota for pharmacy. Reason? Competition in overseas is very high... Universities especially in Aus and NZ have quota for international students, and mind you, the numbers are like 20+ for international students per university, not just for Malaysians...

But then again, everyone stands a chance. So all the best to you in your application... :)

do you think i should inform the JPA before/after i hand in the application?

Dun worry a lot... If u fail to get into foreign universities, u still gt twinning program which is quite pleasing and satisfying. I personally kinda worry of myself coz my place of pharmacy in nz is still uncertain due to the interview and all sort of tests. Only one uni in nz offers pharm for international students. Yet, it is lor more easier if u go to uk and aus as thr are plenty of uni waiting for u.
