I'm Petronas scholar too ext_1833872 May 21 2013, 09:05:28 UTC

assalamualaikum and hye...

I got the Pet scholar to Canada for Petroleum Engineering... my prep college is Taylors Subang Jaya.. I'm taking International Canadian Pre University (ICPU).. so my worries are..

1. What is ICPU actually? What do their students study? How long the period of preparation? I had opened the Taylors website to check about it but I'm still didn't understand...
2. I also got the offer from Mara for the same course in UNSW Australia.. I rejected that offer because I prefer Petronas better.. so is it worth it to be sponsored by Petronas?
3. How much is the allowance per month provided when we studies oversea?

I'm really excited about Petronas scholarship and I hope u can answer some of my questions.. I'm just curious to know more.. thank you

I'm just curious.. there are rumours said that said Petronas may not employ u after grad.. in that case.. we hav to pay back 20%.. is it true?? n u hav said previously in other comment that in Taylor they don't include the books in their fee.. it means that we hav to buy the books by ourself so how much is the books.. when we will get the books allowance n computer allowance? I'm scared that I will be unemploy.. hope u can give some advice to convince me again about this Petronas scholarship..

Oh, hello there! I'm also a pet scholar who's going to canada *in shaa Allah* but i'll be doing my prep in sunway. I've read another blog about cpu. It's Muhammad Asyraaf's blog i think. I feel that would help. N don't worry, petronas usually if u excel in the interview after u've graduated, again, in shaa Allah. U'll have a job :)) n btw, i think petronas have already allocated 800 for our books fee. I think if u read that blog, u'll have a clearer view of what will happen. All the best :)) oh, n do u know, how many pet scholars who's going to canada in taylors?

Oh my dear, that is NOT a rumour! Seriously, i don't even know where'd u guys even get the idea that we-gonna-be-employed from. During our interview camp in UTP, in the very first briefing in the very first day, Mr. A already made it clear that becoming a Pet scholar doesn't guarantee becoming a Pet employee. Upon graduation, we hv to make ourselves available to Petronas for 6 months. Should Pet hv any vacancies, they will call us or we can apply... for an interview! And there's no extra points or anything simply bcoz u were a Pet scholar. In the interview, u're same as everybody else who applied so u still hv to compete on the same level. If u're good, u'll get the job. If not, u don't. If u get the job, ur bond with Pet is at least *5 years (*subject to change according to contract). If u go to interview but don't get the job, OR you wait for 6 months but there's no vacancies/job interview offers, I don't remember whether in the contract it says to pay 20% or none at all ( ... )
