Assalamualaikum and hye ! I currently studying at Kolej Mara
Seremban ( KMS ) and doing A-Level Programme - Engineering . Okay this is just
an experience to be share with my juniors that will have to decide to choose
their institution before they apply MARA scholarship .
Difference between KMB and KMS
Fyi , before I dapat sambung study kat sini I don't know at
all about this programme . Mostly the most popular institution under MARA ialah
Kolej Mara Banting ( KMB ) . KMB is the most well-known preparation institution
. But the difference between KMB and KMS is their programme . KMB take IB as
their whole programme while KMS has some A-Level students and some IB students
. KMB and KMS nie kalau you guys nak tahu dah macam adik beradik . I just know
about A-Level Programme only. IB and A-Level programme nie tak terikat lagi
dengan mana-mana country .
What is A-Level actually ?
Tbh, dulu pon I tak tahu pasal A- Level nie . I just know
about IB . Thats why time isi online application MARA scholarship , I prefer IB
sebab tak didedahkan sangat pasal A-Level . But apa yang I can conclude pasal
program nie ialah 100% result berdasarkan exam . Or senang nak faham it mostly
like you guys punya SPM . 100% depends dengan you guys punya effort . A-Level
programme sbenarnya ialah international academic program under University of
Cambridge . The qualification is generally studied for over 2 years . Fyi ,
this programme split into 2 parts . The first part is known as AS Level and the
second part is known as A2 Level . This two parts will combine together and I'm
not really sure how this part to be calculate. But every part carried for 15
points. And basically macam my programme I take 3 subject with is pure math ,
chemistry and physic . Nie baru sem 1 . So every subject carry 5 points ( max )
. Kalau nak dpt 5 points wajib dapat A. If B 4 points and so on.. Plus , kt my
college ada kena ambik extra subject which is General Paper ( GP ) or Thinking
Skills ( TS ) . Pilih salah satu antara dua . Yang subjek nie kira macam extra
points . Under Mara qualification untuk fly minimum 13 points . Tapi ada je
yang Mara ambil 11 or 10 points. Rezeki masing-masing . Tapi kita takkan nak
target rendahkan ? So, kalau dah dapat peluang belajar nanti jangan rasa selesa
sangat diri tu . Sbb kita semua tak confirm lagi akn fly . Jangan rasa diri tu
dah dapat Mara confirm fly . Perjalanan hidup tu panjang lagi . Berdoa
banyak-banyak . InsyaAllah dipermudahkan.
LIFE-STYLE IN KMS
Now I nak share pulak pasal environment and life-style kat
KMS. KMS nie tak banyak beza pon dgn asrama ( sekolah ) . We start class at 8
a.m and finish at 1.30 p.m . And the classes will be 5 days in a week . Means
that if you guys nak balik every weekend pon boleh. Time registered kat sini
you guys akan dapat satu bakul baju yang agak besar disediakan for setiap
student. Hantar je baju2 kotor korang kat dobi then akan ada acik tu tolong
basuh plus keringkan sekali . Nnt beli kupon rm1 if nak suruh keringkan . 2
kali seminggu . Makan disediakan 5 kali sehari kat dewan selera . Memang cukup
makan . Elaun Mara kasi rm100 sebulan tu simpan or boleh beli keperluan lain
nnt . Rm100 tu memang laa bunyinya sikit tapi kalau semua makan siap time you
guys kat sana , so I think it allready enough . If you guys lapar malam2 ada
gerai . Mostly class kat sini consist only 20 students for one class .
Alhamdulillah kat sini still dijaga pergaulan between boys and girls. Suasana
Islamik memang dah sedia ada kat KMS. Usrah pon ada dijalankan every weeks .
Baju ke class mostly
l lelaki - kemeja + slack + kasut kulit ( black / brown )
l Perempuan - baju kurung + tudung + kasut kulit ( black/
brown )
Reference books pulak memang agak mahal. Kalau yg ori punya
buku 1 subject dalam rm170+ . So, kalau nak jimat pinjam je buku kat library
dulu or beli half price from senior. Kalau nak jimat lagi photostate . But for
me, kadang2 tak guna pon reference books tu. Notes cikgu-cikgu kasi dah cukup
or pinjam je kawan2 dulu.
Why choose Engineering ?
Haaaa ! This part I'm not totally master to answer it . Maybe
sebab I really love math/add math and science subjects except for biology . At
first , I want to take actuarial science but bila dah tanya pendapat alumni
SAMURA plus my family members , so alhamdulillah I got what I want now . I love
my course now .

I hope you guys can make a right decision . Jangan cepat
mengalah and get ready in every situation . Ikhlaskan diri belajar kerana Allah
S.W.T. InsyaAllah dipermudahkan. Kalau nak tahu more about this college or

ReplyDeleteWow it was really exciting! One of my teacher recommends this to me, she said you're bumiputera can seek for help from mara banting or seremban. My first choice was Taylor or Help Uni because most of my seniors told me that when they met students from Help at India for medics, they were astounded to see their notes memang lengkap !
