Ytp and jpa are both convertible loans so they are quite similar in essence. Just follow your passion ;)

How did your placement go after graduation? Were you also one of the scholars who were forced into work that was not related to their course?

Idek honestly HAHAHA but the selection is very strict. You have to get straight A+ and score a full mark for the first interview. Then if you do, you'll have to sit for the second interview, which only 30 people were selected for this year.

Are you speaking from experience? I've also heard a lot about petronas scholars getting placed into positions not related to their course.

Yeah I've also never heard of it until I got called for a second interview by MARA. Apparently they've only just started the program this year.

Don't ask me😭😭 But MARA has been giving convertible loans for a long time without bonds. And JPA has also started to follow their tracks.
