The JPA interview is conducted in both BM and English. It starts with self-introduction and then a general knowledge question to be answered. Some of the introduction is done in English and some is done in Bahasa Malaysia, depends on the interviewers. There will usually be 3 interviewers to 5 candidates.

The introduction consists of:

1) Name

2) School

3) Parents' occupation
You may be asked whether your parents are working with the government or private. If your parents' jobs are related to your chosen course, the interviewers will ask whether you have visited their working place, ask you about their duty and others.

4) Chosen course, specialise in what & where you want to study
From here, they will definitely ask you :
WHY you choose the course, who is your role model, why you want to go oversea or local.
What local universities you want to go to?
If the allowances given by the JPA scholarship is not enough for you to survive oversea, what will you do? (this depends on your family's salary too)

5) You are the number what child from how many siblings
You may need to tell what is your siblings currently doing too.


All right, then the second part will be a discussion or just answer a question yourself without discussion. But you will be given time to think of the answers. They have a list of questions on a paper. They will choose 1 and ask you. This is sort of past years questions compiled from other students and forums for your revision:)

Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia has been hacked!

The Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia (Malaysian People's Movement Party or Gerakan in English) is a political party in Malaysia. It is part of the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition.

I was about to get some informations from their website. Yesterday, it was still good. But today, hacked by hackers claimed to come from Indonesia. There is also a slogan ' f**k for Malaysia. Why not they target other party? Hope they get back soon, I need to get information from the website...

Other UPU doubts

English GCE-O level
This must be filled in according to your 1119 certificate. You can obtain this 1119 certificate from your school.

Tarikh Ambil MUET
Put the date according to what it is in your result slip. Do not put the date when you are sitting for your exam. If you take you MUET more than once, you can choose any one you like (the one with higher band)

Sukan/Permainan
Please put TIDAK TERLIBAT if you are not involved in state level or national level sports competition. I made a mistake too when I fill this, mistaken by the fact that we can choose peringkat sekolah at the bottom.

Sistem Pesanan Ringkas (SMS)
Put yes, if you are having difficulties in accessing the internet and email.

Wang Pinjaman Pendahuluan (WPP) PTPTN
Just put yes if you want to get PTPTN loan.
