Those who are interested and wish to apply are kindly requested to read the guideline very carefully and prepare the application documents as required.
It should be noted that incomplete applications will not be evaluated and will be disqualified. Every year, many applications are disqualified due to lack of required number of original and copies of applications documents, insufficient academic transcript that does not cover the required period, lack of recommendation letter, etc.
As for the medical certificate required in the guideline, it is only required for those who advance to exam/interview phase.
