Yes, put in your ex-lecturers. Who say they have to know you for 3 years?

Try picking the ones you're closer or more familiar with, e.g. your final year project supervisor. Also, you can put in a pegawai uni too, e.g. someone whom you had to deal a lot for your uni/club/activities/organising project etc.

Just do some google on how to ask for a reference.

I believe he is referring to the referee to be put in the Borang Pengesahan Maklumat, not the witness in the Perjanjian.

The referee must know the applicant for at least three years and it can be anyone (including friends), not necessarily a Pengawai Kerajaan (Gred 41 & ke atas).

But of course, to take someone credible like an ex-lecturer to be your referee would be better.

anyone face problems on uploading transcipt and certificate? after compressing my transcipt and certificates according to the instruction given in mybrain15 website the size is still over 280kb (365kb). May i know what should i do? @@

If i upload original documents, do i need to get signature from Pengawai (or Gr 41 or above)?

My advice to you is to get the Adobe Acrobat (not Adobe Reader) and you can manipulate the size of the file.

Open the file, then...
Go to Document > Optimized Scanned PDF.

Then, you just play around with Background Removal and Edge Shadow Removal to your liking.

You can still maintain the quality of the scanned file and the sharpness of the fonts while reducing its size tremendously.

Hi guys,

I just got an offer from UPM on Master of Human Resource Development. I am confused since it is under Educational Studies Faculty, can I still apply for MyMaster?
*
It's best that you call up MyBrain and ask them personally.

Anyway, Master of HRD is not a course in the education field. So, you should be eligible to apply.

I would like to ask if I can apply for MyMaster while working full time? I plan to take Master full time as well.

I already talk to my lecturer and he is fine with me working since my work place is within the university although not under university. He said as long I could meet him once per week, it's ok already.

My boss/company seems to be ok as well and also offer me to do part time instead if I want to focus more time onto my Master.

It's Master in Computer Science btw.

You can apply for the MyMaster scholarship whether you are taking the course full time or part time. Either way, the scholarship will cover your fees of up to RM10,000 (maximum). There is no fixed monthly allowance for MyMaster.

It doesn't matter you are working or not. But most importantly, you must not work in the government sector. Government servants (except research assistants) are not entitled to apply for the MyBrain scholarship.

Just started looking into MyBrain15 and i'm a little concerned with the 5-year bond after completing graduate studies. I'm going the research->academia route so the normal progression after PhD would be to secure a post-doc position somewhere. With the 5-year bond, does that mean i can only look for post-doc positions at IPTAs?
*
I have asked this before.

U can still do a post-doc overseas although you are bonded to work in Malaysia.

Just write to MyBrain that you are going overseas for a post-doc. Simple as that.

Okay, that's a relief. Does the bond means i have to work in Malaysia for 5 years, or for the Malaysian government for 5 years...? Because the academia is notoriously difficult to get into. Who is to say any of the IPTAs in Malaysia would have a position in my field at the exact moment when i need the job?
*
An officer from MyBrain told me as long as you work in Malaysia for 5 years. Any companies in Malaysia, government institution or private companies.

Hi lads.

Summoning randomly nightzstarBlofeld 

Just went through this thread and now am like doh.gif

I am now in my second semester, a full time coursework student doing MSc (Management). Including this semester, I definitely still have 3 semesters left. However I just completed the application form (online) yesterday and submitted it right away. Here comes the mindfucuk section, did I fill the bolded part correctly?
06. Struktur Pengajian: KERJA KURSUS
07. Tajuk Penyelidikan: -
08. Bidang Pengajian: SAINS SOSIAL / SASTERA IKHTISAS
09. Bidang Kursus: BASIC / BROAD, GENERAL PROGRAMMES
10. Nama Kursus (seperti dalam surat tawaran): SARJANA SAINS (PENGURUSAN)
11. Pengkhususan (Major): PENGURUSAN
12. Tarikh Mula Pengajian: 6 FEB 2013
13. Tarikh Tamat Pengajian: 6 FEB 2015
14. Tempoh Pengajian: 2 TAHUN DAN 0 BULAN
15. Semester Semasa: 2
16. Baki Semester (bulan): 12        (I take it as 1 sem = 4 months)  doh.gif

And can I call or email them so I can make amendments on this section?

Thanks
*
For bidang kursus, just put whatever which is the closest to your programme.

For baki semester, nightstarz has explained above. laugh.gif Just email them.

Good luck!

I gave them a call, they said just wait for the result. I guess I will still get the same answer if I do send them email. Haizz

1. Anyway, am in my second sem now, so 2 sems left, out of total 4 sems, that means 12 months left. How can that be wrong lol? Or does my current semester included so the exact baki bulan i should have put is 18 months? Help me on this plz.

2. And in case if they reject my application, will I still be receiving the notification through my registered email? So I can reapply again.

Cheers.

Don't worry. They won't reject you due to this baki semester issue.

If you got accepted, you just need to write them to explain to them of the mistake you made regarding the baki semester. The proper amendments will be made. I have a friend who wrote to them and they made the amendments on the remaining months of scholarship to be given.

Hi guys,
Currently I am a research assistant in my local uni (undergoing internship tbh), upon finishing my intern, I plan to continue as master student in my local uni. Right now I'm applying for masters in my uni, waiting for the offer letter.

Once I get the offer letter and my proposal done, submitted to MyBrain15, how long will it take them to process my application?

Approximately two months

Hi, I received notification to resubmit (mohon semula) MyPhD as It was stated that the borang pengesahan part B5 is incomplete.

May I know if anyone has experienced this? How long does it take for them to reprocess your application?

Also, does that mean that there is a high possibility to get the scholarship, otherwise they would have rejected it outright right? Instead of requesting us to reapply?

Thanks in advance for your reply.
*
I'm curious about that too.

You have to resubmit all documents by applying again at the MyBrain website or just resubmit Borang Pengesahan by email?

Since they asked you to resubmit, your possibility of success is higher.

You are looking at a website that no longer exists.

oh shyt! I've just tried logging into the new website. My log in is still valid and what i filled in is still there. The interface and the forms all stll looks the same. So I don't think I need to do any major changes like downloading the forms again right?

Just checked, the forms are still all the same. Does it means that I just need to send my application through the new website instead of the old 1?
*
To be safe, submit your application to the new website and re-check your forms again to make sure you are using the latest forms.

The Borang Pengesahan has to be the new form.

Hi guys, my master registration is on 17th of this month. Just wanna ask if I pay the fees by my own first. Then later when my Mybrain15 scholarship application is successful, can I claim back the fees by sending them a copy of the receipt?

If the date of your scholarship offer predates your registration date, you can claim it back later.

When I asked the MyBrain officers two years ago, they told me that you have to get two referees (in the case of someone who is working).

1. Anyone (including your close friend) who knows you for at least FIVE years.

2. Your colleague/boss/anyone who knows you in your office regardless of how many years he/she knows you.

But now, the form has changed. The number of referees needed has been reduced to one and the years of knowing you has been reduced from 5 years to 3 years.

I'm afraid you F0F0 have to call up the MyBrain office to clarify who should be your referee in the case of a working adult.

Hi guys, a question here. I have just submitted my application for Mymaster.
I've scanned all the document in colour but did not certified.
Do these colour scanned document consider original and do these doc need to be certified?

Since you scanned the original, those docs don't need to be certified.
