U need to reset ur MyMaster because u applied with MyBrain15 before. After u reset then u can apply for MyPhD.

Right.

Specifically, anyone who had applied extension for MyBrain, did you pay for new semester registration fees with your cash while waiting for the approval?

the resetting process may take months, need to follow up closely with the officer

The standard procedure is to apply for extension six months before the tentative end date of the study program (as specified in the contract), to allow adequate time for processing the application for extension. Submitting application near the end date of the study may delay the processing time.

Since the issue is escalated to this stage, you should highlight your issue to the Treasury Office to find out what options are available to you. You are also advised to discuss the matter with your main supervisor to see if he or she can employ you as a research assistant on a temporary contract, say 6 months. After obtaining the approval,you'll be reimbursed for the approved expenses related to your study.

I applied 3 months before the end of my study (as stated in the extension form). I had waited almost 6 months already. Every month I called mybrain to follow up on my application but it's still under process.

OK I've talked to the staff in Treasury office and she said since my extension is not confirm by mybrain yet, I must pay with my own money. Once I get the approval of the extension from mybrain, send a copy of the approval letter together with the payment receipt to the Treasury office to claim back the money.

Thanks.

Hi, I just received offer letter from IPTA and the registration date is September. Would like to ask when should I start applying MyMaster ?

Should I start applying now or need to wait until registered ?

Thanks.

apply now, no need to wait until registration, it'll take a few months to be processed anyway. your offer letter is a strong enough basis for your application

I waited 6 months like you too until I had the chance to meet the person-in-charge personally. Right after that, within a week after I met him, my application for the extension was approved. If I had met him earlier, then they would have approved it much earlier.

If you ever have the chance to meet the person in charge, please do it and tell him.

Difficult to meet the person in charge since it's very far away. But I've made a call and spoke with the person in charge. He said call him again after a week to get the result.

So did your extension effective date starts at the following month after your original myphd scholarship ended? Example: Let's say your original date was from 1/1/2012 to 31/12/2014, so your first extension started on 1/1/2015?

Thanks.

It continues without any gap.

Mine was 2 weeks, MyBrain15 said 3 weeks.

Noted. I supposed to apply for second extension by now but the first one still pending with no result.

What's the maximum duration for first extension?

Should be one academic term.

That means 6 months for IPTA? Having a tough time getting my phone calls answered by them.

Yes, 6 months for each extension. You can only be given two extensions of 6 months each.

To apply for extension, you need

1. Your own letter (justification letter)
2. Surat rasmi from your supervisor
3. The extension application form
4. Borang Kemajuan Pelajar
