I have a question, i'm now pursuing IT degree in UM and my current CGPA is maintain within first class. I heard that if i graduate with a 1stclass degree, i can skip master and pursue PhD directly. Izzit true?

And if i do get to pursue PhD, what choices of scholarship i can apply other than JPA. I prefer scholarship which don't bond me so many years, I know its hard to get a scholarship without bond
