JPA 2008 Medicine

[powerleakin]

Let's post useful stuff for the jpa med scholars...

once the letter comes we will know which country we will be going...

and we will know whether jpa is sending us to uk or not.....

[vseehua]

since it's stated that this will be a ranting thread, it's moved to the chat section

[Lalala11]

So powerleakin, u got jpa in med?

[Miracle_seed]

It seems that this year students who secured JPA for medicine have at least 11A1, just from my observation... Anyone less than that? And of course I mean non-bumi here...

[suresh]

yes.i get 11 a1 and i get medicine.thanks jpa.

[suresh]

like for example,discussing about docs postgrad in d normal jpa 2008 thread will jus make it bigger, yet,its still useful things so it can't be at the chat section...

i have removed the rant from d first post...so,you might wanna reconsider it...i actlly meant useful stuff for 2008 med jpa scholars...

9A1s 1A2 (the usual culprit)

I wanna go to Australia or NZ. Anyone knows how many students will go to either UK, Aus, NZ, Russia, CR, etc etc...?

[Miracle_seed]

Okay, I'm not pouring cold water on you all, but if the current info is correct, in which students who got medicine have 11A1s or more, sadly I will say, it's almost impossible to get UK with 12-13A1. And of course this only applies for non-bumis, I don't have any data regarding bumis... By the way, I devised a simple formula to see how JPA place students to the countries, and this is partially true:

An A1 worth 1 point, an A2 worth 0 point and a B3 worth -1 point, assuming no scholars got B4 and below for any subject, excluding GCE'O'.
So, 11A1 = 11A1,1A2 = 12A1,1B3
However, I'm not sure what happens when 11A1 takes on 11A1,1A2

And normally, JPA rank the countries according to costs, not qualities necessary...

u mean like this

11 1A= 11 points
11 1A, 1 2A = 11 points
12 1A , 1 3B = 11 points

If i ain't mistaken, the government said(last year) that we are ONLY allowed to take 12 subjects. Government only sponsor 12 subjects. They are contradicting themselves if they rank in this way.

terima/tolak tawaran closed on 13 May 11.59pm, that is, yesterday...
today,(best case scenario) they retrieve all those who terima from their database...
today(again,bcs) they send poslaju to 2000 jpa scholars...
or(second best case scenario) tommorow they send poslaju to the 2000 students..

No, government never said that students are *only* allowed to take 12 subjects, but students are encouraged to take not more than 12 subjects, plus they have to pay for extra subjects if they want to take it...

You might say that it's unfair because students with 12A1 is not necessary better than 11A1, but for them, this is the only thing they can judge...

[nadia.g]

yeah the govt only limited to 12 'free' subjects becos the yuran peperiksaan is free. from wat i heard the govt 'rugi' byk for making public exams free so tats y they limited the subjects to 12 only.

MoE should raise the examination fees instead of making them free so that students will feel the pinch should they try to take more more subjects.

russia, is good...at least better than india or indonesia, you know...the disadvantage is only learning russian language...more tons of load for 4 ...aus is difficult 2 enter, the requirements r very high...furthermore, ppl going to aus dont start tat early, they hv to do SAM...

Actually, those heading to Russia will study Russian language for 3 months, and then will fly to Russia and continue with pre-U over there, so the duration will be more or less the same... And for non-bumis, Australia is virtually out of reach without 13A1, if consider this year's trend...

Learning extra language is my favourite... I always want to learn more languages esp Japanese and France...The thing is if i go russia, the chances for me to further my study is hard...I prefer to go to English-speaking country not because of the extra language, but because the standard there is higher... Anyway, i'm still happy that i got jpa, unlike some who got rejected..

[extell]

Since UK and Ireland is reserved for the top students, and Aus is virtually out of reach without 13A1, I'd love to go to Czech republic.
Prague is the main city of Czech. It is damnnn beautiful. Of course, you have to learn the Czech language. But since it's a European country, most citizens converse in English.

[skatemusicianer]

Haha I never said I didn't wanna serve the country.. but anyways, I don't mind more than 10 years..lolz..

Someone said our letter's coming next week or smth...

Yea, Czech Republic is beautiful... But it's in Eastern Europe, and their citizens do not converse in English, and in fact there isn't many English-speaking countries in Europe, they speak Czech, and you'll have to learn and pass the language to graduate...

Most likely, or else those who got Russia but haven't received the calls will not have enough time to prepare their things, so I think if you don't get the call you're heading to other countries...

No..not sarcastic. Russia good wat.... If me, i'd rather go to countries like russia, india or indonesia. From what people say rite, if u go study medic in countries lk Aus, Uk, or US, u'll be doing some of ur practical stuff using high-tech machines. Then when come back 2 msia, become blurr coz msia doesn't have the same technology. Correct me if i'm wrong la, but that's what i've known from other people's experiences.
Good luck in learning russian! So cool 2 learn a new language :))

My friends in Czech said, if you don't speak Czech, they tend to look down on you... Local pre-U does not include Czech language, i.e. you have to pick up only when you reach there, starting the first year of the medical course, and it's a compulsory subject if I'm not mistaken...

Well, actually, medical colleges in Czech Republic and Poland are not yet in the list of colleges recognised by MMA, because they are relatively new to Malaysian, and the first batch of students sent there, by JPA has not yet graduated. However, JPA promised that these are recognised universities, and the recognition will be given sooner or later. So, there should be no worries, as JPA will not send students to unrecognised universities...

I guess so...I don't know if this a problem whatsoever (but I hope it's not), but it's worth noting. I would love to go to Czech or Poland, just that the fact that it may not be recognized worries me...

OK, that eases my worriness a bit. Thanks. I just hope I get any other country except Indonesia (mainly because my parents won't let me go there that I would have to reject the scholarship and stucked here...)

yeah its good that u picked up on the info and feel worried about such things..

[Danial]

I don't think so Mara send their scholars to an unrecognised uni. So far none that gets a non-recognised uni by MMA. Even those who are sent to egypt are all recognised unis. By the way, i tot Medic in UK is only for bumi right?

Nobody is sure though... Last year, in the "Syarat permohonan" part, there was no UK in the list of countries, but there were students end up gettinh JPA scholarship to UK for medicine, but the number is small, perhaps not more than 10. Then this year, UK appears again in the list of countries "Syarat permohonan", but then in the "Struktur pengajian", it's stated "UK-Tajaan MARA" only. So we have to wait to see which one is correct...

Erm.... I'm going to Russia and i found out from Moscow Medical Academy(MMA) website that we are allowed to opt between lesson conducted in Russian and English. All foreign students will be in the same class learning subjects in English since the native are all learning in their own language. The reason we learn Russian language is for us to communicate with patients during clinical years.....

I think you can PM the moderators to request them to move this thread to JPA forum, it's easier to view under the same category. You're the one who started the thread, so I think you're the better person to request this...

If i'm not mistaken, the medic education is conducted in their own language. But please correct me if i'm wrong...
I'm not sure about Russia, but for Czech Republic and Poland, it's conducted in English, because students heading to Czech Republic and Poland have never learn Czech or Polish before they leave to start their medical course there, so it's impossible that the course is conducted in their language... I think learning their language is for clinical years' use. By the way, you'll need some time to catch their English...

Learn foreign language is for clinical and housemanship.

I dunno about other countries, but in Malaysia, you study medic theory for 2 years, do 3 years clinical, then 2 years housemanship and 3 years optional Medical Officer attached to a government hospital. It'll be 10 years before you're a proper 'doctor'.

And please, guys, we got the scholarship, stop whining about how long we have to serve the country. It appalls me to see young Malaysians losing their sense of patriotism.

Don't blame me. Blame NS for brainwashing me.

Personally I'd be happy enough if they send me to Czech. And 13A1 for Australia/NZ? OMGWTF. I'd cheah everyone here dinner if I get Australia. Seriously. PM me.

Proper 'doctor'? I think you should minus the 3 years compulsory service, because after you completed your housemanship, you're medical officer, officially doctor. Is it that proper 'doctor' means those not working with government...?

I'm currently studying in volgograd, russia. Yes we are required to study russian, cause
1) Local people don't speak english, you must speak russian in daily life and also in practical during 2nd year
2) After 4th year some exams conduct in russian, and final year exam is in russian

Accord. to MMA (Malaysian Medical Association) website, Czech Republic is NOT recognised. However, MMC (Malaysia Medical Council) do recognised Czech Republic. (http://mmc.gov.my/v1/legislation/Jadual%20Kedua.pdf)

[zell_ll]

for your information, jpa seldom send scholars to uk to studies the medicine course..you can get uk but have to do twinning with penang medical college.

Ermm... JPA reduce the number because JPA want to reduce cost. Penang medical college do twinning with ireland universities, not UK. If JPA want you to do twinning with UK uni, they will send you to IMU. Actually, if you get JPA to ireland, you cannot apply to UK, but if you get UK, you can apply to ireland. And if JPA offer you twinning programme, they won't allow you to change to full UK (full 5 years).

Don't worry about being recognised or not. Think rationally, JPA won't waste their money sending scholar to unrecognised medical school.

I think it's because cost of UK is higher than Ireland, and cost of full time is much higher than twinning, and the policy of JPA is possible for "downgrade" but not "upgrade"... I've heard of some students being downgraded for not passing the cut-off point or not getting any offer form universities...

[zell_ll]

Yes. You don;t get the require grade or any offer frm UK universities, JPA will ask you to apply to ireland, if you dont get ireland, you can apply Aus and NZ. But if you still dun get that, JPA will try to send you to India, Indon, etc etc.

Helo...i got jpa for medic too...

Helo...i got jpa for medic too...

when's our bond with the goverment start?? does the 2 years of housemanship included into the 10 years bond???
Yup the two years of housemanship and another three years of compulsory services are counted in the 10-year bond.

[Miracle_seed]

Yup the two years of housemanship and another three years of compulsory services are counted in the 10-year bond.
Huh? Is this confirmed news? If I'm not mistaken last time a JPA officer told us 2-year housemanship is not included in the 10-year bond....

[skatemusicianer]

10 years include housemanship and 3 year service..we had a briefing by the hospital authorities during the Pendedahan Programme...

[youngyew]

Huh? Is this confirmed news? If I'm not mistaken last time a JPA officer told us 2-year housemanship is not included in the 10-year bond....
Haha it concerns me personally so I am pretty positive about this.

[zell_ll]

10 years total...including foundation year, compulsary service etcetc. You can check your contract.

[Miracle_seed]

Hmm... Not bad huh? So actually we just work 5 years longer then under government, right? :)

There are gonna be 8 doctors-to-be in my class alone if all of them accepts the scholarships (jpa/ mara) offered. I doubt if all of them have the heart to actually aid others....

No offence...just stating the truth.. =.=

[youngyew]

Are you referring to preparatory stage or overseas studies?

[matchgirl]

i heard that u will get rm1600 a month in russia,if that's where you go..
and u need to spent around 800 only..
(that is if u are thrift)
and u can save rm800 every month for 6 years..
that means around 48k...

i heard this from my friend who have a sister there...
and she plan to buy a car upon graduate...

but i am not sure she is taking scholarships or loan from PSD

[Miracle_seed]

mind telling both? Thx.
Local during preparatory coursem it's now RM430 per month starting last year. For overseas you'll need to refer to respective countries...

[nobody]

Put it simple this way,

Has it be any country, the living cost will not be a burden to your family as the living allowance is more than enough(if spent thriftily)?

Based on experience, please. Thanks again.

For my case, yes, if you do not buy a car or live in the most expensive student hostel or go jolly every second day.

If you spend wisely, you might even be able to afford a return air ticket back to Malaysia every year.

...buy a car or live in the most expensive student hostel....

Accomodation isn't provided?

Erm, maybe i'm asking too much question, if there is a already a thread related to all i've asked(or what i might ask), please link me there.

[youngyew]

As have been said above, it's very different from one country to another, or even one city to another in the same country. In general though, the accommodation will be arranged for preparatory course, but once you get overseas you need to find your own accommodation either inside university hostels or renting a house outside.

We have lots of threads about these issues, do look around.

First and foremost, congratulations upon recieving the scholarship and welcome to INTEC.

Haha...Anyway, with me I have a full set of original text books and complete past years collection with all marking schemes. Very rare I would say:)

I'm selling it off on a first come first serve basis. So do contact me asap if you are interested. My email is aning88@<hidden> and please do not reply me over here cox I wont be able to online that often, prior to the alevel exam.

On top of that, I also have a few other sets of books and past years. SO grab it while it's hot to surpass kiasuism here. Lol. Just joking.

Cheers people.

In my school, there were only 2 of us who got medicine and we both got at least 11A1. There were other people who also got JPA scholarship, but mostly other courses.

Malacca Manipal Medical College offers twinning course with Manipal, India. Students offered this course will study in Manipal for first 2.5 years then return to Malaysia to continue for another 2.5 years, which means clinical years in Malaysia. Last time MMMC-bound students were sent to KTT and Intec respectively, where KTT students will do 1.5 years of Cambridge A-Level, while Intec students will do 2 years of Edexel A-Level.Thus, KTT students will start their degree in March while Intec students will leave in August/September the same year. Since this year they are sent to different preparatory colleges, I'm not sure. However, if the preparatory programme has the same duration, the departure time would be more or less the same. MMMC has two intakes every year, March and August/September.

Manipal is a small town in a rather rural area in the state of Karnataka, but it's an education or university town, with many colleges and many international students there, especially Malaysian students. It's easy to find Malaysian food there, like a little Malaysia. But Manipal is lack of entertainment, however it's perhaps good for studies.

Ooh! Hi! My friend also got to India, but she said when she called, the lady told her that she would go to Melaka Manipal Medical College for 3 years and then the country is undecided.



hey..i just noticed..for all the twinning programmes(not sure about full ones), in the 3 page long surat tawaran, there is not a single mention on the country you are offered..we hv to just assume that if it is MMMC->India, IMU->UK, PMC-> Ireland..

I know that if our alvl grades not good we won't get to go to the country....But shouldn't they mention the country at least once in the surat tawaran? I think this is fishy...

Maybe later something goes wrong and if we ask jpa why din send us to ____,they'll tell us we never told you we are sending you there...T.T

Anyone???


EDIT: Note that in previous years they do tell you the country even when you check online...

There is no assumption for MMMC and PMC I think. MMMC only has twinning programme with Manipal, India. In fact they have "Manipal" in their college name too. PMC will do twinning with Ireland, that's confirmed too. But for IMU, it's uncertain. You'll have to apply when you enrol into IMU, may be after you complete first or second year, and you may go New Zealand, Australia, UK, but it will depend on offers you get and also JPA. For info on IMU, you should refer to those who are studying there.

oh..i'm happy then i got pmc..haha...

but its strange rite they din mention country at all?

May be out of topic, but what's the difference between the two types of A-levels? Does it affect anything?


Thus, KTT students will start their degree in March while Intec students will leave in August/September the same year.

Does this mean the Cambridge A-level takes a shorter time to complete?

I'm a bit confused.. >>;

I'm having the same question on my mind right now. Any other possible uni in India for JPA scholars besides Manipal and Kasturba? Especially unis in the north.
So far JPA has only sent medical students to the state of Karnataka. Last time JPA did tell that they're working to recognise more universities, and earliest those leaving this year will become the pioneer batch but it seems it doesn't happen this year. Since all of you are leaving for India 2 years later, things might have changed.

Till now, JPA never send students to New Delhi, and if not mistaken Mumbai too. This year students are heading to Manipal University (Kasturba Medical College Manipal & Mangalore), KLE University (Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College) in Belgaum, and JJM in Davangere. All these places are in the state of Karnataka. Karnataka is not a poor state, the capital of Karnataka, Bangalore is the IT hub of India, but JPA didn't send their students there this year, I heard they did last time yet it's unconfirmed news, but MARA do send their students there.

[Al-Bert]

Now, I'm definitely confused.
Why is it only Czech and Poland-bound students who get 1 year courses?

In my understanding, Czech, Poland and Indonesia bound students would undergo their A-level programme for 1 year only to suit the date of their universities' intake... Plus, they need to sit for 3 subjects only in A-level...

[powerleakin]

but then pmc also they want 3 subjects only...

[Miracle_seed]

but then pmc also they want 3 subjects only...
In fact many medical colleges look for 3 subjects only, most of the time Biolody, Chemistry, Physics/Mathematics with Physics preferable in more countries... And sometimes you'll be surprised that many medical colleges do accept students who didn't take Biology in their Pre-U...

By the way, are you taking 3 subjects only in Pre-U?

do any1 notice tat KTT lacks facilities....
do correct me if i'm wrong here.....:huh

You can decide and choose the subjects. Normally people do 3/4 subjects. Go and check the A-level thread

[extell]

There are gonna be 8 doctors-to-be in my class alone if all of them accepts the scholarships (jpa/ mara) offered. I doubt if all of them have the heart to actually aid others....

No offence...just stating the truth.. =.=
My guess was right...*sigh* Some turned down the offer. Good news for those appealing for jpa/mara...

[duke23]

My guess was right...*sigh* Some turned down the offer. Good news for those appealing for jpa/mara...

hey extell..to those who turned down their offers to do med,where were they offered to?..you see....bahhhhhhhhhh..i have many deserving friends without a scholarship and i hope at least SOme of them are succesful in their appeal...feel really sorry for them.i hope there wont be any more potential "slip ups" on jpa's part this time around..........

People who want to reject scholarships should not apply for them in the first place.its just messes the whole selection dynamics. only place where i think a rejection is acceptable is indon..in my opinion,that scholarship is really not worth..why on earth is JPA sending to a country which is devastated by natural disasters every now and then!!

i think prague is really good.Many students who do not get into medical schools in the UK go to prague(im talking about the british students).They have 3 or 4 a's in their a levels but did not manage to secure a place in a uk uni due to various reasons and obviously one of it is just being plain "unlucky".anyhow medicine in the czech republic is popular among the brits.quite a few of them prefer prague to ireland.Actually another country which produces great doctors (in fact many doctors in the states and the UK have acknowledge this) at affordable cost is South africa.I wonder if jpa is going to look into this option..my sister did her electives there and it was awesome..learned tonnes.

I totally agree on that. It's their life...there's no point nagging them anyway. One of them couldn't resist the temptations being offered another scholarship.

Yeps, I Czech-bound, and I'm really looking forward to studying in Prague! :)

oh well i know tonnes of them with this mentality.I will try for jpa medicine.and i want UK.if i get it i will take it cos its the most expensive scholarship offered.But i will also apply for every other scholarship on the planet(not medical related).If if he/she has a choice between medicine in india or lets say bank negara to do accountancy in UK ..the UK wins hands down?why?Uk what...that clearly shows the zest the person has for medicine.Its great they reject the medical scholarships then.People without the passion to be doctors cant be and WILL NEVER be good doctors.What is so nasty about doing medicine in India?If you go to SJMC half the doctors there are indian graduates..MINIMUM 150 k MONTHLY income..accountant...you have to be damn damn lucky to even earn a FRACTION of that.1 word.No match.So much for choosing accountancy in UK over medicine in india.I emphasize here this is just a hypothetical example but there's a lot of truth to it!

and yea i agree with you...about studying in place a vs place b...it just depends on you,not the place...take for example a school...i come from a premier school,yet i can give you my word that nothing really is premier here...students do fail here too...so,as i said, it all depends on us,not this university/country or the other....(except when, if 1 contender has some serious problems, than this rule doesnt apply la...)

i do agree. india will be the best place to do clinical training.

even if u do ur degree in india, u can always do ur specialist elsewhere (UK or US)

of course they are normal ppl la.show off wanna kena rompak is it?they worked hard to be where they are.lol....gee dun be surprised la..some lasik surgeons and gynaes with their own practice earn twice that amount..haha...medicine is indeed lucrative if u make it big.come on dont tell me everyone here wants to study medicine SOLELY for the sake of helping ppl.Im sure the reasons include financial security and stability.otherwise it wouldn't be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo popular.but i bet most doctors in well established private hospitals have also served the gov a long time.Thats why the demand for them is higher in such places.U have tonnes of private medical centres hiring newly qualified specialists...i would rather go to a gov doctor then go to such specialists.

I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH YOU!=DI was completely overjoyed when i heard i got india. India is a fantastic place for medicine and plus after graduating from medical school, who cares where u came from. all will return for housemanship again and all receive the same treatment. If it's medicine, it doesn't really matter where u graduate as long last u graduate with an MBBS. And in fact, it's not where you come from or what you previously did but is what you do in the present that counts=). Those people that choose uk accountancy i would dare say are not really interested about medicine after all.

Plus, india isn't that terrible. First, we as malaysian should have no problem adapting to the climate there. And for some, there would be a slight(very slight) problem about food there.=)

I would say take any medical scholarship given to you and we shouldn't complain. Imagine those 400 something people that didn't manage to secure the scholarship waiting patiently for their appeal.So, those that got the scholarship should be thankful they got it=)

I got india btw=).Did u get india too?It'll be great to get to know you=)

In my understanding, Czech, Poland and Indonesia bound students would undergo their A-level programme for 1 year only to suit the date of their universities' intake... Plus, they need to sit for 3 subjects only in A-level...

I suppose that's the plus side to this accelerated course. Thanks Al-Bert!

Both are chinese. One of them got straight 13a1 and one got straight 14a1.

[phoenix1892]

They must've had excellent kokum too, I reckon. Seems that to get countries like UK, Ireland, Aussie, you must have international level participation. For example, my friend got France engineering with 7A1s and 3A2s, but he represented the country in international level several times.
