Benefits??? You do not need to payback PTPTN

In 2009, got my first class, but no PTPTN waiver. But i din take ptptn anyway. To answer the topic, yes first class will get you into interviews as a fresh grad, with priority. Of course, you still need to show that you are an all-rounder, not just a nerd who studies with no play. After working for 5 years, the fact that i'm a first class honors holder still gets talked about on occasion. My management are also high-scorers, as most people in my company are scholars through the company. In work, in life, high-scoring students stand out among the others, those who say that results don't matter are usually the ones who scored poor results, and it shows in their working culture, their manners and their thought-process. However, there are many top-scorers who are only nerds who can't think outside their studies and only know single subject matter. These cannot survive in the working world and will not rise to management level. Always read, be updated on current affairs, and think outside the box. This will get you places in work. Also, never forget to keep a humble attitude. I never talk more than I listen, I never mention my first-class degree anywhere, but the bosses know I am. Attitude is most important, do things right, learn from mistakes, work hard and remember that the company performance is more important than your individual rewards. Then you can rise. Hope this helps.

Get first class= better chance to work at MNC company. This is the advantage form the beginning.

I've been reading this thread from the first post, and I see too much "first-classers vs. non-first-classers in workplace" arguments, as well as various conflicting information.

Here are the things I'd like to know:

1. Is the minimum "First Class" CGPA standardized for all universities in Malaysia?
Some claimed a minimum of 3.7 is necessary to be considered for the additional one-year honours programme. Some claimed 3.75. Some claimed 3.5. I've even heard a 3.00 is sufficient.

2. How do we know if a programme is an Honours programme?
Does all programmes / courses with "Hons" attached (e.g. B.Eng. Chemical Engineering (Hons) or B.Eng. (Hons) Chemical Engineering) offer the additional one-year honours programme for students with a certain minimum CGPA? What about the courses without a "Hons" attached, like the MBBS programme in UM ("SARJANA MUDA PERUBATAN DAN SARJANA MUDA PEMBEDAHAN") or the Chemical Engineering degree in UMP ("IJAZAH SARJANA MUDA KEJURUTERAAN KIMIA (BIOTEKNOLOGI)"?

3. Concerning the PTPTN loan conversion: Is the conversion only applicable for students with a qualification with a "Hons" attached to it?
Referring to the above examples, will the students from the UM MBBS programme and the UMP Chemical Engineering programme be ineligible to apply for a loan conversion / waiver, even if they managed to land a perfect 4.00 in their course?

I still have a lot to learn, so I would appreciate all explanations given. Thank you.
