Applicants must provide various things such as academic scores must not be below the average value determined by the Djarum Foundation. Then the proof of activity on and off campus, as well as achievements, can be additional points in registration.
There are several stages of selection carried out by Janu before getting this Djarum scholarship. Starting from the selection of files, in which Djarum will select students whose files are complete and have interesting contents. Such as the committee certificates and those that show the soft skills of the registrants. It can be an added value in the file selection. After being declared to have passed the file selection, the registrant will then pass the second stage, namely the written test. In this test, applicants are asked to work on quite a lot of questions in a small amount of time. Before taking the test, you should register to study in advance related to TPA questions or those that are often tested in college entrance tests to recall the tactics of the process. So that it can make it easier for registrants when going through the written test.
