Sorry, I was not referring to you only.

Hope that someone can answer my question :

1) Is there any math test?
2) Is there difference between STPM/Matriks/Diploma group or they will be mixed up?
3) The group based on the courses?
4) Is there any essay?
5) 100% communication in English?
6) Is there any chances to change courses? Example from BIS to ICT?

TQ

1) They will have a test. I forgot exactly whats the name of the test. Damn it. Its suppose to gauge your standards, see where you stand. There will be an english test, and math test and something like a... thinking test. U know, like KBKK kinda questions. IQ kinda questions.

2) Mixed up

3) No

4) Not that i can remember. No.

5) Yes. Brush up on your english and you'll be the one standing out. I was.

6) Hmm. They will still ask you twice during the educamp. Whether you are EXTREMELY sure you want the course u stated on ur form. If not, they still give u chance to change dont worry ^^ During my educamp (2006) they also had workshops to promote other courses. Whichever lecture theater u go into, they'll try to change your mind into switching to that course. Lol. So make sure u go for the ones that you think you might like. They'll tell u all the pros (not cons) and tell you how your career with that field of study might be like.
But not after they've given u the scholarship.

Hurm, I do once go to Educamp. A bit competitive for me as a lots of excellent student were there. The IQ test were.. what can I say aa... I dint have proper time to think the answer!!.

The thing that make me feel strange is that, my friend which he was only 5A in SPM manage to get a place there. Btw, he taking civil engineering. My opinion is that, if you really want to go to UTP, make sure you didnt choose Chemical Engineering unless you're damn good.

One of the admin officer there, Puan R****** said that, minimum requirement for chemical engine course is 9A1.

You help a lot bro .. . But Math test .. it's difficult to cope back, since 4 years have left it .. .

Tq

maths test? its more to IQ =) for the interview, just do ur best. talk and talk bout wad u know, but dun crap. lol. command of ENGLISH is very very important. yes, it is. well, if u have already done ur best, the rest is up to GOD. =) all the best in ur interview. hopin u join the utp family soon. =)

TS..what a shame to write something like that..i dont know either u have been accepted or not to be part of Petronas scholars, but i am sure if this is how you write..haishh...dont know what to say..u writing represent ur character. As far as Petronas interview is concern (I am 1 of it's scholars, currently studying in UTP), been un-able to speak well english or bahasa is not much into concern, but being formal and ethics is much important.. i could say some of the scholars are not really well in english spoken, (including me), but they manage to be more ethics and formal.. my suggestion, u dont have to really well english spoken, just OK is enough, but make sure, PROPER AND FORMAL..

every1 .... wat'll u think bout a very fair chinese wearing baju kurung huh ....? i mean during d educamp thingy ....

Wah! This is really a very old tread on Petronas Scholarship/Sponsorship.

So any news on Petronas Sponsorship 2014 especially for those doing foundation 2014???

Actually what is the min requirement to get selected & is this year very competitive since got so many with A???

Result already out???

How is the interview like???

What sort of question/assignment/topic likely for this year???

Any tips on how to 'win' interviewer heart so as to consider my application???
I am a guy so wearing more 'make-up' or wear 'shorter/lower' method is not applicable.

All help & advice is greatly appreciated.

Thank you very very much!

The EduCamp consists of two parts:
1. Competency test: They will test you on your Maths, Physics, Chemistry (If you applied for engineering courses), and English competency (just some easy ones). They also have an IQ test (basically just pattern recognition test)

2. The interview. Participants will be grouped in 5 and given a different case study for each group (usually recent cases or general cases such as traffic congestion, drugs trafficking, etc.). You will then be called one by one to start with an individual interview (just to promote yourself) and later on the whole group will be called in and you guys will start the discussion on the case study given.

Tips to win the interviewers' heart.. I would say just dress properly and talk with proper language. No need to use bombastic words / phrases. The interview is done 100% in English language.

And thank you for bringing up this old post. At least I know someone here uses the "Search" function

Thank you very much for your quick reply & advice. Hopefully I will get selected.
