Pelajar SMK Berjaya Dapat Biasiswa Ke Luar Negara

Salam semua, pagi ni nak share sikit.

Ni cerita anak kawan sekolah lama. Untuk inspirasi semua.

Anak dia adalah batch:

SPM 2020- Covid times, 1st batch

Dan kisahnya, selepas SPM:

Kolej Matrikulasi- First semester online class, 2nd sem di Banting

UPU> Pilhan pertama Uni Malaysia Pahang, Mechanical Eng

#UMP, after Sem 1 result, screen & selected for interview by JPA

JPA tu dia screen semua yg dapat result 3.0 or higher, lpas tu gi interview. Dia x minta pon

JPA memang screen pelajar, mereka tidak apply JPA ya.

#Sem 3 offered Dual Degree Program - Beijing Jiaotong University BJTU

#Sem 3 & 4 (UMP) : Academic + Mandarin Classes up to HSK3

# Sem 5 Sept 2024 fly to Beijing- mid 2027 onwards di Beijing on JPA scholarship

Program: 2years in UMP + 2.5 years di BJTU 

UMP dia ada a few dual degree program, yg I tahu Beijing n Germany

Tp Beijing punya x sure dia akan continue lama lagi sbb ECRL pun dh nk start operation, so unless ada HSR later on maybe soon akan habis la. Tp still ada alternafive lain mcm MRT @ LRT

Batch ke3, ada dlm 30+ org

Syarat dia kena lulus Mandarin tu, n maintain pointer above 3.0, ada gak yg sangkut dlm batch depa. Pointer x dpt maintain

Secara umumnya selepas SPM:

Selalunya ada tiga choices, Matriks, UPU-Asasi, atau Form 6

Tapi matriks yg offer paling awal, so we all continue jer la & tak take up any offer from UPU

Yes, pre-U. Yg anak no 2 I follow UPU, x ambik matriks. So dia ambik Asasi UIA. Now di Gombak la for Civil Eng, bru habis 1st year

Yes, kalau matriks you have more option which Uni to apply, if Asasi you are most likely akan stay with the original Uni

Yes dgn result matriks. Matriks ni if you try nak masuk mcm UM tu mmg kena tip-top la result, 4flat insyaallah dpt. Klu kureng kena la minta uni2 lain

Berkenaan results SPM pula:

Another thing utk anak I yg sulung ni, result SPM dia was a mixed bag. Ada A sikit,  bnyk B , C pun ada haha. D x ingat ada ke tak, but x ada la yg fail. 

So kalau minta UPU mungkin susah nk dpt Uni yg kita nak, so just stick with Matrik.

SPM tu, punca dia masa kami balik Japan dia terus masuk F1 hujung2 tahun dah, bulan 8@9 cam tu la. So nk nak familiriase dgn silabus msia mmg struggle. Rasanya hujung2 F2 bru dia boleh catch up. Which is the same situation I had when I came back from my time  in UK masa my father buat Masters dia. Terus masuk F2 tengah2 tahun 1991, buku Log pun x tau menatang apa. So i fully understood the situation.

That time, my dad told me, he can try to get me into the top school in KB masa tu, mcm skolah yg Syd Helmi tu, Ahmad Maher ke apa, but he says it doesnt matter where you go, but if you dont make an effort its not gonna change much. So those words sticks with me, now I try to apply to my kids as well,  just give them supports all the time n it is much easier to do when they are staying with you. 

Only my #2 pernah try ujian utk MRSM, tapi x dapat. Yg #3 & #4 we didnt bother.

Mrsm susah. Tgk gaji

I dunno why spouse rajin hantar anak2 ambik exam mrsm, I won't bother. Especially coming from private school, chances maybe 0.0000001

My Sek Menengah pun sekolah daily je, Sek Men Kbg Kerian 1. But I hold the all time best SRP result for the school, nasib sbb tu kan last SRP, ke second last lupa haha

Tahniah sekali lagi untuk pelajar SMK yang berjaya mendapat biasiswa ke luar negara.

Alhamdulillah, rezeki dari Allah.

Tips Untuk Berjaya Mendapatkan Scholarship Selepas SPM 2023 coretan Engku Adam

 "Tips on winning a scholarship by Abang Adam untuk adik adik yang bakal menjadi scholars 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Assalamualaikum W.B.T

Saya, Engku Adam, ialah seorang scholar Petronas untuk ke luar negara bagi batch SPM 2023. Saya telah besekolah di SM Imtiaz Yayasan Terengganu Kuala Terengganu dan telah mendapat keputusan cemerlang 11A+, 1A- bagi SPM 2023. Kini, saya sedang menjalani A-levels di Kolej Tuanku Ja'afar dan insyallah akan berangkat ke US atau UK untuk menyambung degree Software Engineering pada tahun 2026 di bawah sponsorship Petronas Education Sponsorship Programme (PESP). Harini saya akan menceritakan perjalanan saya dari awal sampai akhir bagi pelajar SPM 2024 untuk memohon dan mendapatkan biasiswa.

Pada mulanya, lepas mendapat keputusan SPM saya mula membuat research tentang biasiswa dan sponsorhip yang tersedia. Oleh kerana saya mendapat A- dalam subjek Bahasa Melayu, saya tidak layak untuk memohon beberapa biasiswa seperti Khazanah dan Kijang BNM. Walau bagaimanapun, saya masih memohon sebanyak yang munkin biasiswa yang ada dan akhirnya telah memohon 8 iaitu:

1. Petronas (overseas)

2. PNB (overseas)

3. FGV (overseas)

4. YTP-MARA (overseas)

5. JPA-LSPM (local)

6. Yayasan Terengganu (overseas)

7. Yayasan UEM (overseas)

8. JPA KHAS (overseas)

Dan daripada 8 ini, saya telah mendapat tawaran daripada 4 biasiswa iaitu Petronas, PNB, JPA-LSPM dan Yayasan Terengganu. Bagi pelajar SPM 24 yang baru sahaja melabuhkan tirainya, berikut adalah tips & tricks saya untuk memohon dan insyallah mendapat biasiswa yang kita impikan

Peringkat Permohonan:

- sediakan satu folder yang mengandungi segala info penting ketika memohon (IC keluarga, slip gaji mak ayah, sijil SPM & kokurikulum, alamat penting, dll) supaya ketika memohon, hanya perlu "copy & paste" untuk jimatkan masa dan tenaga

- untuk permohonan yang memerlukan essay, take your time. Buat satu essay yang paling gempak kita pernah buat, jual diri. Bagitahu accomplishments paling hebat kita (pertandingan peringkat antarabangsa, kedudukan kepimpinan). Jangan suruh AI untuk tolong tuliskan, hanya untuk dapatkan idea dan tips. Also, tanya cg English or Grammarly untuk check grammar kita sebelum submit

 Peringkat Interview

- Most interview ialah dalam kumpulan, so be a leader. Lead kumpulan tu untuk solve masalah diberi, bagi cadangan and idea. Keluarkan opinion kamu & cuba convince orang lain tentang opinion kamu. 

- Don't be selfish, also accept opinions from others and implement them into your final product. 

- Don't be bossy, maksudnya jangan arahkan orang lain sangat. Terima pandangan orang and kalau tak setuju, work on getting a solution, not force them into your views

- Don't be a "yes men", maksudnya jangan agree sekiranya taknak agree. Tetapkan pendirian yang teguh, dan kalau ada orang lawan idea kita, find a proper solution, jangan mengalah dengan dia but also jangan terlalu keras dengan dia

- finally, socialise. Orang nk bagi scholarship ni biasanya akan pantau kita dari awal, so kalau kita seorang yanga senyap, chances kita akan low from the get go

Now, some tips for some specific scholarships

Petronas Education Sponsorhip Programme (PESP)

Arguably the best scholarship (definitely not biased🫢), Petronas ni antara provider scholarship terbesar kat Malaysia. Last year Petronas sponsored 600 SPM graduates (400 local, 200 overseas). However, kuota banyak tak semestinya senang Petronas jugak lah yang paling banyak competition dengan orang lain, so do your best. 

PESP ade 3 stages which are:

1. Online application 

2. Online assessment 

3. Physical interview

Online Application:

- For this stage, straight forward je semua sebab tak ada essay. However Petronas hanya bagi upload 1 file untuk sijil, so my tips is to compile semua sijil pencapaian dalam satu PDF and upload PDF tu

Online Assessment:

- Stage seterusnya ni hanya orang yang lepas sahaja dapat. Stage ni akan ade online game yang kita kena finish yang test maths and logical skills kita. Don't cheat, but do your best. BE FOCUS during the assessment and duduk dalam kawasan tak ada kekacauan. Jawab as many questions as possible in the time given, don't panic, stay calm. Remember, everyone is doing the same test so don't panic.

Physical Interview

- Ini lah stage paling penting and paling ramai dia akan filter orang. Ini juga final stage so kalau berjaya stage ni, insyallah dapat tawaran

- Kita akan di interview dalam groups of 4 or 5, and akan diberikan case study. Case study tu ialah satu masalah yang kita as a group kena bincang satu solution yang boleh implement. Dia akan firstly bagi kita masa individually untuk draft ideas atas kertas. Then kita briefly explain our ideas (individually). Then, dia akan bagi masa (30 minit rasanya) untuk kita bincang as a group to come up with one main big idea. 30 minit ni lah yang paling penting sebab dia akan tengok and pantau kita throughout the whole time, how we talk, how we work together, etc. In the end, kita kena present as a group pasal solution kita and finish.

-  Idea kita pastikan logik and down to earth, jangan sahaja fikir pasal kebernasan idea kita, tetapi fikir jugak adakah idea kita senang nak implement in real life? adakah idea kita ni effective? apakah kos terhadap orang yang kita implement? Think like you're in the real world.

- Finally, speak out. Luahkan semua kita nak kata, jangan malu. Biarlah cakap gagap, asalkan cakap banyak. Nampakkan kita ni layak untuk scholarship ini.

PNB Global Scholarship

Another great option for the cream of the cream students. Scholarship ni exclusive sikit (only about ~25 per year) and also banyak lagi stages for application which are:

1. Online application 

2. Online aptitude test

3. Physical assessment centre 

4. Online resilience & critical reasoning test

5. Physical interview @PNB118

And alhamdulillah, saya diterima juga untuk scholarship PNB ni, tapi saya tolak kerana saya terima Petronas. Anyways, here are my tips for this scholarship:

 1 Online application

-  untuk online application, akan ada 2 essay yang perlu kita tulis.  Essay ni simple je, guna tips yang saya bagi pasal essay and just express yourself. Express jugak interests kita tentang course yang kita pilih for degree and bagi bukti (competitions, books, articles)

2) online aptitude test

- ni just basically iq test. Tak banyak kita boleh buat untuk prepare, just boleh buat terbaik time test tu sendiri. Akan ade practice test kalau nak buat. Masa test, bagi ruang yang cukup, dan tempat yang tenang. Focus on the test and jangan tengok masa sangat. Complete as many questions as possible and in between tests, take a break. Finally, relax and chill, insyallah dapat move on next stage.

 3) physical assessment centre

- this stage, kita akan pergi ke assessment centre dia (for me, dekat kelantan paling dekat). During the assessment, dia akan ada banyak games yang kita akan main. Most games are in groups and kita kena bekerjasama dengan baik dengan group mates kita. Dia tak tengok sangat siapa menang or kalah, but rather dia akan focus interaction kita dengan everyone else. Don't be toxic and have fun.

 4) Online resilience & Critical reasoning test

Kalau berjaya sampai stage ni, congratulations sebab ramai dah akan di filter at this point. This stage akan ade 2 test kita akan ambil.

- untuk resilience test, dia lebih kepada test personality kita. Soalan mcm kalau ade kawan kita buat salah, adakah kita akan report. For this one, just be yourself. Jangan nampakkan clear sangat kita menipu on certain questions, and show personality kita

- untuk logical reasoning, akan ade 3 seperate tests yang kita buat : verbal reasoning, inductive reasoning, numerical reasoning. Each one of this is 30 minutes, and akan ade preparation materials.

- my tips is to use all the preparation materials not to practice but to prepare your expectations on what the tests are about. 

- during the test, as always, jauhkan diri dari segala disturbance, keep calm and do your best

5) physical interview @PNB118

- Ini lah last stage untuk PNB scholarship. Kita akan buat interview dalam bangunan paling tinggi di Malaysia, and dia akan filter half of the remaining participants. 

- The interview is about 45 minutes, and interview ni akan diadakan dalam groups of 3 - 4 people. However, kita tak akan ada group activities pun, just personal questions yang akan ditanyakan

- Read about PNB and its subsidiaries (ASNB), sebab dia akan tanya pasal ni. Also, do research on your chosen degree sebab dia akan tanya how with your degree knowledge you will help the company.

- Be prepared for crazy questions. Masa saya buat interview, saya dapat soalan "Why should be not pick you". Pelik kan? biasanya soalan why should we pick you, tapi ni why should we not pick you. Kita tak boleh jawab you should pick me, kita mesti la bagi jawapan kepada soalan dia tu, so be prepared

And that is it. Alhamdulillah, banyakkan doa. Usaha kita SPM dah banyak, tapi perjuangan kita tak habis lagi. Dapatkan biasiswa ni bukan sahaja tiket kita ke overseas, tapi juga peluang kita untuk tidak membebankan ibu bapa kita untuk sambung belajar. Kita juga akan dapat chances yang lebih tinggi nanti nak cari kerja.

 That's all from me, good luck!"
