Yeah what I know is, Engineering in German is the last among these. And Japan is the earliest one.

Really?? I read somewhere in recom...they are people saying try not to promote urself too much which in a way show that ure too arrogant and that ure very great because whatever about you,the interviewers know cause it's all in the file n all. Due to that,I did not talk a lot bout my co-curricular activities. =(

when the results are out...we just check the esila website to find out is it?

[thomas_hang0000]

I didn't have the chance to introduce myself. They straight away went to discussion part.
It's OK if you think that those certificates are already more than enough to prove that you're special among them.
If you want to talk about that, be moderate lah. When they ask you questions like "Why do you think that you deserve this Scholarship?", your also need to do a bit self-promotion, or I don't think there're any other better ways to answer that.
Again, be moderate lo.

Lol If I'm not wrong it should be eSila. If not, where else can we check? newspaper or...? I'm not sure about this

However , in my case , the interviewer asked us to mention about our co-curriculum activities while introducing ourselves . So , we just have to tell it to them . Try not to be arrogant while mentioning it eventhough your performance in ECC is very good .

[lindley]

yeah. they said when you wanna promote yourself, dont do it till the extent that other candidates get annoyed as well. thats when you know that youve gone overboard. =)

i was just wondering whether JPA interviews are still conducted in debate style.. hmm..
if that is still the case, u just have to show ur reasoning skills and social skills. Do not dominate the discussion/debate.. smile and assume a pleasing demeanor..sell urself well and
make sure what you say leaves an impression on the panel.

remember to give a firm handshake (if applicable) and thank the panel after the interview!
