The link for PETRONAS application is

http://spmonline.petronas.com.my/

They've opened up a little so u guys can try go check it out and see if u r interested in any of the course offered.

Well, these are among the courses they offer :

PROGRAM KEJURUTERAAN / SAINS GUNAAN:

* Kejuruteraan Kimia
* Kejuruteraan Mekanikal
* Kejuruteraan Petroleum
* Geologi
* Geofizik

PROGRAM PERNIAGAAN / EKONOMI:

* Perakaunan
* Pentadbiran Perniagaan
* Ekonomi

Based on last year's interview, there are very little applicantfor geologi and geofizik... So anyone interested in that will stand a good chance in securing the scholarship.

More? Hmm.. Ok, what PETRONAS are generally looking for is just not academically good students. You must also be strong in your COCU if u want to get PETRONAS sponsorship. Given the fact that PETRONAS had just recently revised the amount of monthly allowance for PETRONAS OVS programme students to a high RM 500, the bar standard for this year should also be raised.
Please do not be disheartened by this. Among all the interviews I have attended before, JPA is the most lenient one-very easy flowing, and quick. PETRONAS is a one-whole day scrutinisation of all mind power u posses as it includes written tests-which is fun to do actually for critical thinking test- as well as interviews. You might find that you feel unconfident of yourself when u step out of the interview room as u wonder 'did the interviewer listened to me?' Well, that's at least how i feel. Because I had 2 interviewers. One lady, one man. The man was kind and so on and the woman is like the total opposite. I was talking to them in the personal interview and she just go on playing with her hp. Looked up at me-shook her head(oh well)- then continued with her phone. Worse of all, the phone rang and she answered the call! How rude can that be! Sometimes, she will just post from what she's doing and suddenly go for a killer question like 'Can u tell me more about the point u just mention? Cuz I really don't understand it?'-these kind of questions..
Well, this is generally what my experience in the personal interview is like I just wish u guys all the best man. Cheers!

did u guys realise that JPA dont give Indonesia medicine courses ?? only farmasi...isit good or bad??[

Only last year they started sending students to Republic Czech instead of Indon. Why? I dunno.. I guess the govt's main purpose now is to mass produce docs and given the fact that there are many political unrest in Indonesia as well as many people who actually rejected the offer, the govt are changing destinations so that less people reject the offer-

Nope. Still have to wait till it is advertised in the newspaper. but if u insist on trying, maybe u should.. but once it's out in the news make sure u go out and grab it a.s.a.p. cuz i think there's quotas to how many forms a bank can hold. So, if there are many applicants in ur area, make sure u r one of the earliest buying it so that u don't miss the application.

i'm in a rush of so many stuffs right now,still haven't got the letter from the department of national service to do the medical checkup and stuffs,i wonder wut's takin them so long.

No worries dude. It'll reach like last minute or so.. i think if not wrong might be around today of the next few days. No worries. Only thing is that the medical check-up is so boring that u should bring 3 sets of nespaper together with u cuz u spend more time waiting compared to checking.

anyways,they do offer nanotech course ritE?i'm kinda interested in this course.

Well, this whole 'nanotech' and 'polymer' thing is not sthg u cn jz simply chose. Only a handful of students will be randomly selected for it. That is of course for last year.. this year, i'm not quite sure about it.

Can I know where to get a scholarship for environmentalist or marine biology? Or anything to do with nature studies? =S I love environments and animals, but I think those aren't popular courses! =( Do I still have hopes for those? Do I really have to be a straight A1s' student to get a scholarship?

Thank you for replying =)

Seriously i dunno. But if u want to have fun in doing this marine biology thing, i reckon u apply for KPM scholarship. This scholarship sends students to study oversea and specialise in one subject there. After u graduate, u will become a teacher in Malaysia. One of my senior in my school got this KPM scholarship to study biology in UK. So, I reckon, u consider this. It's not that bad being a teacher u know..

Do I really have to be a straight A1s' student to get a scholarship?

For PETRONAS my dear, it's not so important. Among us in Taylor's 1/4 chinese scholar got lots of b's and scrappy a's. But his cocu is excellent. But just to comfort u. getting a B3 for Chinese or EST is no biggie in scholarship application. they dont even look at it as a subject if u fail to get A1 for it. If u did, then it's good lar.

Thank you for replying =)[/quote]
