if engineering, nobody will ask you to serve govt la..
sometimes really wonder what JPA thinking, medic students get bond 10 yrs and others just let go...

what a waste of taxpayers' money.

i thought this PIDN is only for those who will be going for their 1st degree at IPTA? Did they stated Diploma students are eligible to apply so? i wonder..

Between PTPTN and JPA PIDn, of course, i will choose PIDN JPA lor.since it is a scholarships, and i wish to work under gov since now it is quite diff to find jobs outside esp the private company.

By the way, there is another tajaan tambahan for SPM 9As students? so what is the difference of that with PIDN??

I find it is rather hard to find a bio-related works under private company. maybe i am wrong with that, but seriously i think there is less oppurtunity to work as a bio researcher at private company.

While for gov, usually they will give top priority to the students that they had sponsored beforehand. Thus, it is always better if u can get a scholarships under gov..

PS: do we need to send our result to JPA?i heard that this scholarships is based on 2 criteria: academic result and family background rite? How much allwance they give us?..i am SPM 2007 leaver..

Oh ya... Do you all fill in the real info for the parents' salary?

Fyi, I've cheated once when I entered matric..
I put 1k for my dad's salary and nil for my mom's.
However, my mom is a government servant(teacher), is this a merit or demerit?

To those who is experienced,

I wish to enquire about some questions regarding the JPA scholarship (PIDN). Let's say I am a diploma student, and IF I got this scholarship. After I completed my diploma studies, do I need to serve the government straight away? Can I further my studies to degree level after my diploma is completed, then only I fulfill my service to the government? Please enlighten me.

Thx in advance
