Image
 PIDM is one of the most famous scholarships among Malaysian since there is no bond. I received a call on June. I was notified to attend an interview on July. PIDM office was very near to a KL Central. For my year, only 35 people were chosen for interview out of all applicants. 5 people attended the interview per session. ( 1 person was absent, hence only left 4 people. ) After verifying our original documents, we were all given reimbursement for transportation fees. Soon, the challenge began. Generally, there were 3 parts for this interview. A. Group discussion For my session, we got the topic ' Is technology good or bad ?

In a nutshell, I have rejected the scholarship due to personal reason.                                                                Nevertheless, it was the simplest scholarship interview that I ever attended. Initially, I filled in the application form which was in google form. All were common questions (asking for details) except one essay question regarding gender inequality. It was definitely a sad news for every one. However, this was totally common for me since I had failed  in some scholarships previously. Failure is the mother of success. Be optimistic.
