[bihafana]

baju kurung and blazer is fine..........go ahead, it looks smart, and don't worry what others think........

i don't think (at least they should not) they will award a scholarship based on how you dress.............just be decent and smart, .........and let 's hope one gets a scholarship based on scholarly merit, not on anything else............

---->thanx dear 4 supporting me..i'll try my besh..

[stevenlee]

Blazer?? Not quite sure. Must ask those who went interview today or call JPA. But wearing baju kurung with blazer look kind of weird. Cause last time my school many prefects wear like that.

but my older sister says dat it's a good attire to wear a blazer although wif bju kurung bcoz it shows them(jpa) how much we want the scholarship..erm..and she(my older sister) is studying in ireland..with jpa scholarship..so,,i really get confused..she has her own experience..who shud i listen to??huhu :( :(

i'm a guy, know not much about fashion but for me baju kurung with blazzer is absolutely fine(my former school prefects have to wear like that every day in school). you will look outstanding and special since no one is going to wear like you. just give it a try :)

[Daniel_Chin]

just came bac from intim. intro in bm. mine got ask y should jpa give u the scholarship. then discuassion in eng.
topic: do u agree tat bloggers should be registered?
i think fat chance i will get.... sigh......

Hey lost_prophet, which panel were you in? I was in panel 3 and I'm not sure which one were you. I'm the guys wearing light purple shirt with dark blue slack and tie. :wink:

By the way, let's talk about my personal experience----->

I reached INTIM at around 9.30 a.m., Went inside to find out which panel I was chosen to be in(there were four). Then I was quite surprised to find out that there were 16 people in my panel but later only found out that we're divided into three groups of six or five interviewees.

Then I went into the men's to put on my tie and you-know-what :oops: (don't want it to come during my interview). And then I returned and waited outside the room and was amazed by a few Indian girls who chatted happily outside the room.

After two groups went in......Oh gosh it's my turn!!!! There were five of us(four boys and a girl) and we sat in a semi-circle facing the two interviewers(1 female n 1 male). Then the lady started explaining everything about how they gonna test us and stuffs like that bla bla bla and we're nodding and 'yes-ing' before she gave us the topic(no introduction though)

Topic: First class infrastructure and third class mentality still prevails, do you agree?

Then a guys came in and the two person beside me started asking me the meaning of the question and we all whispered without the permission of the two interviewers...luckily nothing happened.

Then we're given 2 minutes(two minutes!!!!) to write down anything that came into our mind and the Indian guys was the first to go. He said he don't agree with the question but he explained his points like he agreed...we have good facilities and we must be educated to use it and stuff like that...making me confused

:?: :?:

Then I was the second one to speak and I was trembling and struggling with my words and blah-ing and mumbling all together(ya I know I won't get it)

The after 10 or 12 minutes we switched to Malay and I spoke worst than ever... :( There was a part where I was like: niaaaaameaarareearrraaa because speaking out clearly again (ya I really can't get it)

After that the interviewer asked us why we deserved to be given the scholarship and "apakah potensi anda?" and we started blah blah and blah and I'm the one who spoke the least! My mind just turned blank looking at the interviewers.

Then we went into the dewan for the personality test and although they said you're given 30 minutes to answer all the questions the examiner didn't ask me to stop after 30 minutes...or was it 45? Anyway the questions was a lot! You don't even have the time to think! Just glance and shade.

And then it's all over............I mean really over...no JPA scholarship for me...yea~

[bihafana]

Blazer?? Not quite sure. Must ask those who went interview today or call JPA. But wearing baju kurung with blazer look kind of weird. Cause last time my school many prefects wear like that.

but my older sister says dat it's a good attire to wear a blazer although wif bju kurung bcoz it shows them(jpa) how much we want the scholarship..erm..and she(my older sister) is studying in ireland..with jpa scholarship..so,,i really get confused..she has her own experience..who shud i listen to??huhu :( :(

i'm a guy, know not much about fashion but for me baju kurung with blazzer is absolutely fine(my former school prefects have to wear like that every day in school). you will look outstanding and special since no one is going to wear like you. just give it a try :)

thanx 4 supporting me..i'll be more confident bcoz of ur support..
wish me luck! gosh~

[nervous]

phew!!!! :lol:
Finally..
just got back from putrajaya...
first, we intro ourselves in BM..
my topic is should student wear uniform to school?(eng)
i have been instructed to disagree with the statement..
its kinda like a debate.. three of us disagree, three agree..
i talk crap because i am the first..
hahaha
it went so fast..
then there's another question..
tell us one strength and weakness of yours... ONE ONLY!!
and then pick a cartoon character that would best explain u and why.. finally, picture urself in ten years time, wat would u wanna be..
hahaha
then it ended...
there are three categories:interview,waiting for interview and the psychology test... then it rotates.. i.e.the interview ones will go for the test,the waitings to the interview and the test to the waiting..
the test is about 250+ yes or no question..
no need to worry about that.. its easy... but u hv to be fast...
Basically i think that ur interview question will differ according to ur interviewer... no hard topics today... just some normal general question like mine...
my interviewers were very kind... we laugh a few times..
they were ladies of course... the male interviewers looked more intimidating..
but not to be scare...hahaha just relax..
one tip: look in to their eyes when u talk..
hahahaha.. any question please email me...
kl_nyoi2404@<hidden>.... i'll be glad to help..
for those going to putrajaya of course.. :P :lol:

[my89]

My interview is already over. Yiha

Putrajaya, 2pm

First, intro yourself in bm(name, school,coco involment,, family.)
Then, my discussion topic is "Should school get rid of school uniform.Do you agree or disagree?".
Think for four minutes.Then, start to give your points. Can choose whether you agree or disagree.

Then after everyone gave their own points, the panel asked us to switch as in like those people who agreed must disagree now and vice versa and give your point again. Then, the end.

After the interview, went for the test. Just a simple one..

Good luck for the others

[prince_J]

people..

i've been through the process be4...
i think the best things is to be natural and be yourselves...

be confident but not over confident...

the topics discussed will always be easy...
no worries...

so good luck for those going tomolo...

oh ya.. sleep early as it will be a long day tomorrow!!

[galfera]

omg! it's really scary hearing all of your terrifying experience.... i didnt heard any1 from Kuching, sarawak.... btw, is there any receptionist to greet us in the venue? coz i dont think i can navigate myself properly in a big place.... furthermore, the offer letter only state the venue which is not specific... they should have mention which building n which floor the interviews taking place...

i so scared!!!! my interview is tommorow..... hope dat Almighty helping hands are with me.... Amen.....

[fallen_neoangel]

Got back from the interview in putrajaya today...

We were interviewed in groups of 7. The interviewer was quite nice... not strict... smiled alot... Basically we were asked to intro ourselves in BM.... then give our opinions on the questions below

1. Apakah isu-isu semasa di Malaysia pada masa kini?
2.Adakah kemajuan sains dan teknologi membawa lebih banyak keburukan atau kebaikan?
3. Do you agree schools place too much emphasis on academic excellence? Why?
4. What's your favourite tv programs? Why?

The interview is just to gauge your language skills in bm and english. So there is no need to worry on what facts to say as long they are reasonable. But if you are going to use acronyms like FTA or SMART, make sure you know what they mean and stand for.

After that, we had to do a personality test. 200+ questions in 30 minutes. I couldn't finished it in time... You have to be really FAST!!!!

Oh yeah, it's NOT compulsory for girls to wear skirts. Slacks are just fine. The interviewers did not mind open toed shoes too.

[jojyi]

[uglyducklai]

INTIM ipoh perak.10 am session.panel 2

i reached there damn early,around 8 something.
saw many bumis waiting their turns.

i checked in about 9 something.suddenly the woman asked me to join the 8 am session.wow,6 malays.....*damn nervous*
4 applying for enginnering,1 medicine ,1 density,me is science course.

the interviewers seems nice at the beginning,but after we discussed,i could see that they want to fall asleep *sigh*
all of us cant speak english fluently.

and me looked at the interviewees when they talked instead of thinking new points.then,the interviwees have alot of eye contact with me as if i am their interviewer. * another deep sigh*

my mind went blank,talked crap (till a malay boy mentioned that i talked the same point twice already :( ) and i talked my points without organised the sentence.too nervous and usually i aso talked like that de.and,i seemed to be the loudest person in the room,the interviewees and even the interviewrs talked softly.i just talked my point confidently and not fluent at all. *sigh*

not sure whether it is good or bad if whole group is malays.who can tell me?
go form 6 lu~~~
anyone from intim?

[fiekry_89]

:D Today i`m so hepi cz i have done my intevie well..Thank a lot to my intevie fren cz they all so shy to talk n give opinion n make me have an opputinity to give my opinion.I`m so satisfied with my inteview.. :lol:

[white2020]

[yilian]

mine is the last session. Although it's over already, but i just want to share my experience here in recom.

venue: IKWAS, Kluang
date: 6 april 2006
time: 2 pm
course: pharmacy

1. the physocology test (as you guys already know)
2. interview

-there's only 3 of us in the group. 3? That's so few. Ppl say lesser ppl will have better chance, but I think the overall process of the interview was too fast.

a)introduction: name, school, family background, which country you want to choose (i am not satisfy with my performance because i forgot to tell them about my cocurricular, so i add it up at the end of the interview. hwr, i did not manage to tell them about leadership stuff, ARGH!!!!!! I missed the chance! Hope that they will really look at the letter of recommandation and the photocopied certificates that i've submitted)

b)discussion topic (forum type)
topic 1: unemployed graduates. are they too choosy? (english)
employer are too choosy. agree or disagree?
topic 2: gaya pemakanan makanan ringan/segera telah menjadi suatu kebiasan di masyarakat kita. haruskah iklan makanan ringan/segera diharamkan? (malay)

Well, i think i did better in malay language. I was the first one to speak during the discussion, so, kind of tounge tied for the first topic. :'(

c) end of the interview
as what i've known from my friends who already had the interview in Kluang, they are given a chance to speak out, why they deserve the scholarship, but poor thing, the interviewer didn't give us the chance. too bad! I've prepared the whole script and yet she didn't ask us about that. And what, she didn't even ask me anything about the pharmacy as other ppl do. I think, perhaps she want to cepat-cepat balik as we were the last group.

Conclusion: I am not satisfy with my performance nor the interviewer. sad* i want to do it again ar... hahaha 8) dreaming!

[darkpanda89]

lol.. same here buddy
went to putrajaya today.. last batch.. last group to be interviewed..
and the interviewee simply just brush us off and rush everything...
just asked us to introduce ourselves and give us a topic...

i was prepared for her to start shooting me on questions regarding my cert and course.. well.. but that didn't happen.. and she also stopped me before i finished my introduction.. oh.. and i was even the first to introduce myself.. i think she's a little too impatient... regarding that the interview just started.. i didn't even talk long.. not even for 5 minute...

and surprisingly she only wants us to discuss the topic in 10 minutes.. omg and we have 7 people in that group and i was thinking that 1 hour would be fun but..... man..
she gave two topics to the group before mine.. while she only wants us to discuss in one topic and also.. in such a limited time.. luckily i had warned the people in my group to allow others the chance to speak.. and speak in only 1 or 2 sentences before jumping to another guy... or else.. those shy ones will never get to say anything...

[Shannon]

Putrajaya, 2pm

Strange question for the BM topic. The interviewers gave us a scenario, which we had to describe.

(something like that)

Anda berada dalam sebuah bot. Terdapat 5 orang di atas bot tersebut:

-Pemandu Bot
-Anda sendiri
-seorang adik kecil
-seorang mak cik tua
-musuh anda

Tiba tiba, ribut taufan melanda. Bot anda hanya boleh menyelamatkan 4 orang. Siapa yang akan anda pilih untuk korbankan, dan mengapa.

~~~~~

Strange... :? ...Haven't heard of this topic before...

Anyway, the english one was : Describe a cartoon character that resembles you...

I crapped...

Glad its over though....

Anyway, is this th final hurdle we have to go through? Will there be a second interview?

[yilian]

i hope i can get such interesting ques. 8)

My interviewer told us that. :)

[sore_four_eyes]

Why is it earlier for the japan engineering? If I may ask?

I applied for Biotech but don't know why now feeling as if I should have applied for German Engineering instead. Yarrrgh so confused.

By the way, I didn't manage to finish all the personaliti test questions (yikes!) But I did make sure that I lorek for the ones that correspond to the field that I applied for - all the science stuff. I just main lorek TIDAK for the perakaunan, business and psycho stuff. :(

Thanks for the info :D .

[evelynw]

Ee? How come no one got my topic? My interviewer must be asking off the cuff then.

My topic (IPOH, 6th April 10am) :
1.Should sex education be taught in schools and at what age? BM. Then it mutated into whether it should be an academic subject, bla bla..
2.Should Pendidikan Moral be an academic subject? or something like that. English.

Another question was on how we would conduct ourselves if we were to study overseas and how would we ensure we did not get entangled in relationships. Of course all of us gave the 'correct' answers. But our interviewer was candid and told us that he, too, was a government scholar overseas and still, things happened.

I didn't know how to reply to that. 8O

Anyway, for everyone who got the interview, best of luck! :)

[lXl]

may i know normally how JPA choose which UNI for JPA scholar to study in australia? for medical student or any science related courses

JPA does not choose the universities. The scholars have to apply to the respective universities and admission is subjected to the approval of the respective universities similar to all other international applicants.

For medical students, admission into Aus universities is most selective and there have been cases where JPA scholars failed to gain admission in the universities that they have applied to. In such cases, JPA may decide to terminate the scholarship or these scholars are transfered to a private college (PMC,IMU, etc) in Malaysia for the next 5 years. JPA may also opt for a twinning program between these colleges and other foreign universities.

Last year, the results came out before the form 6 and matriculation registration date, though you won't know your country till you receive the letter, which reached on the registration day. So, if you're uncertain about the country you'll get, and whether you want to reject the offer, you might want to register first.....

Last year we checked online, but country was not stated if you get it. Appeal can be done online or through MCA.
