Hi everyone!

I graduated with a degree last year, and I worked for a year before deciding to pursue my phd this year. Currently, I'm thinking to apply for MyPhd, which cover my tuition fees and would give a monthly allowance of rm2300 for 3 years.

The thing is, I attended a talk on this MyBrain thingy where the speaker said that those who have worked before might not get the monthly allowance, especially after the government checks your KWSP account and finds out that you have been getting epf (working).

So my question is, is there anyone here who got the MyPhD and at the same time worked before he/she applied for this? I have stopped working of course, but am wondering if this would affect my chances of getting the scholarship. Is it better to declare that I have worked before or should I claim that I have never worked before? (In Borang pengesahan status bagi kategori graduan belum/tidak berpendapatan tetap program biasiswa myphd)

Also, a second question:

Has anyone ever accepted a Fellowship by their university, and a few months later, get offered MyPhD as well? Would the fact that one who has been offered the Felowship have a lower chance or rejected for MyPhd? I know that if one receives both at the same time and has not accepted either one, then this is no prob - just choose which one you prefer.

But what IF I had already accepted the Fellowship, would Mohe be able to find out I have accepted the fellowship offer?
-Once they find out, will they still offer us MyPhd and allow us to choose?
-Or will they immediately reject us?


Many thanks to anyone who has any knowledge of the above and would be willing to share their opinion on this matter! Cheers.

Just wondering, aren't you meant to get a Masters first before proceeding on to PhD?

According to this link https://payloan.mohe.gov.my/MyBrain15/index_myphd.php

this is also open to Pemegang Ijazah Sarjana Muda with CGPA 3.50 and above

Ya, i know about this programme but u still need to get a master before you can get into PHD.

Even ur CGPA is 4 also no short cut to skip the master.

in Malaysia, to be a developed country, any first class graduate can be a PhD candidate without examination entry

i dun think a good university (havard,cambridge) will accept that.

Dun tell me those bad ranking university

this is a total nonsense, do your homework before you give your opinions

Correct me if i am wrong though, but a student with good grades in degree can apply straight to PhD right? One of my friends do that.

But as for what I know, if you're taking master and you perform well, you can also apply to change into PhD as well

both correct

can get how much money?

RM 2300 and my friend is enjoying now ...

A lot of universities are offering direct PhD programmes after your first degree. This is typical for the sciences where you spend about four years working on a research project.

I believe you are allowed to choose, but you can only hold either a fellowship of the MyPhD.

TS, what and where are you planning to apply for?

Agreed. If you HAVE the ability, then go for it. Otherwise, go for a masters then Phd. Don't try to run when you only know how to crawl.

obviously some who replied in this thread got weak concept of higher education.

those with 1st class honours degree sure no problem to apply straight to phd. but those with 1st class can choose to do master if they want. anything with second class or worst need to go through masters degree.

now government wants more phd holders in malaysia and hence they gives the scholarship and fast track program.

i agreed to this yet i was lazy to further crystallize..
i hv fat hands

hi guys.. i applied for this scholarship and got the offer..
