hey,

just curious but how long is the bond if we get the scholarship ? 3years ? 5 years? 10years ?

is it true that if you do really well at then end of your degree they'll let you off the hook and you don't have to serve them ?

lol i also want to know about this.. we all applied for jpa.. but we never look at the contract.. may i know where can we find the contract agreement?

the contract will be given once u r offered? no?

not sure ?

maybe it'll be in the hardcopy of the offer letter that they said they'll post to us...

depends really.

for medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, u cannot escape.
u can run but u cant hide, they'll still require that u serve them.

for engineering and others, sometimes if no job for u all like maybe for 6 months, then u all will be released from bond.

offer letter? AFAIK, they only inform you thru the net, not actually inform, but you need to check with the website when the time comes.. and when you apply for jpa, usually there'll be document for you to print.

if ur under JPA.

for medicine it's 10 years service with government.

"Surat tawaran rasmi akan dihantar kepada anda melalui pos."

that's what is written on the offer letter on the page. so, hopefully, it'll be in the same envelope.

ohh.. im confuse here.. u mean surat tawaran when you get the scholarship already? i tot it just the tawaran to interview

yeah, i was referring to the offer to do the chosen programme not the interview.

hope that clears the misunderstanding

My bro pursue medic under MARA. if under mara, for medic just have to serve them 3 years.

for engineering under mara, if i'm not mistaken, no bonding.

under JPA, medic and engineering both got bond. for medic 10 years. engineering i dunno.

i didnt get the letter today..may i ask, posmen keje ke ari sabtu??

For JPA, the bonding for engineering will be 4 years. You will be required to lapor diri as soon as you finish the degree. However if they didn't give you any job within 6 months, you are off the hooks.

Another thing is, usually your degree required you to have industrial training. If you impress your employer, there's a small chance they will grab you once you finish your study and pay your scholarship back to JPA.

yea.. and if your're rich enuf.. u can pay them back.. or serve them half way, then pay them half of the amount u borrowed.. am i rite?

Don't worry,if you get seleted, they will send all the contract n documents to u via pos laju...medic 10 years...

the registration is on monday..maybe i'll receive the letter tomorrow..

wanna ask if it's possible that they offer you something other than the ones that you applied for?

stated in my contract - 6years to 7years. they upped the allowance some more now. the more successful you are, the more likely you'll end up with them .. why would they take average student with average CGPA (take me for example )

depends on type of scholarship
There are the no bounded scholarships-last year some cemerlang spm/stpm students got from agong.
Bounded- depends on course and type of degree. Higher degree qualification usually higher bond.
Typically its just a golden handcuff bond, service, no need to pay back.
Better than petronas scholar where 1 year borrow=2 years service. But petronas are more lavish. That is why you work more for them

i think they do...well, hopefully lah..

i'll be standing guard outside my house to grab the letter the second it comes
