Hey guys,

I am a Petronas scholar. Going oversea coming July/August/Sept.
Well, Petronas is urging the current EE scholars to change to Petroleum Engineering. Most probably, EE will not get a job later as they have them in excess.

About IT. Petronas does not need any IT as they've outsourced their IT division. They may need a few. Hence, there are no chance for you to go oversea for that. They may still take intake at UTP but not for oversea.

Petronas no longer send students to UK. Now they prefer to send you to Australia and New Zealand. As for Petroleum Engineering and Geologist, USA is a place they set for you. They strongly recommend students to apply for Petroleum Engineering. Well, Petronas may change their policy a day just before you fly. So, whatever they stated in the offer letter or contract, don't bother to take it too serious as they have rights to change anything in the contract as stated in the contract that you sign.

If you study under their scholarship for 1 year, you have to work with them for 2 years. 5 years mean 10 years of working. If they do not take you to work, treat that as a loan. You have to repay. But most of us prefer to repay.However, Petroleum Engineer's salary starts at RM6000 per month. Working 2 weeks a month.

Think about it...
