These are all my interviews that I was supposed to undergo right after my SPM. My tips are: Just apply every single scholarship that is available out there as we do not know which one of them can be ours. Well, it was not that impressive to some extent as I only managed to gain only a little of all that had been offered.

First impression counts. Thus, wear your best attire, complete with a full suite and blazer as to look more formal and professional when having an interview session with the assessors. Don't ever think of not wearing one just to ignore that statement such as "mamat poyo,berlagak lebih pakai blazer etc" because usually these kind of people always feel inferior when seeing others who are far better looking than them.  

Regardless of job interview or scholarship interview, remember to perform your best during that 10-30 minute session. It does not matter whether it is a group interview or an individual interview as the sole purpose of the interview is to evaluate your selling points and personal attributes that are deemed fit and suitable for the companies or the organizations. At the same time, don't try to look as if you are becoming too dictatorship as you need to listen to other's opinions as well. Life is not just about leading people, but also listening to them. Always heed to what your interviewers or your group members have to say regarding certain issues that are being discussed.

Besides, be yourself and don't try to fake into another person. The assessors will definitely know whether you try to hide something or not. That is why early preparation counts when it comes to knowing the background of the company that you will be interviewed. There are, however times when you need to make a little tweak in the way you speak to them so that you will be more outstanding than other candidates.

Besides technical knowledge, know and read a lot about current issues and national events like current economics, politics, governance , education and many more so that it will complement your answer when you are confronted with current issue questions from the interviewers. Newspapers and some light magazines like The Economist, Reader's Digest and NatGeo and Discovery Channel will make do for all. 

Insya-allah with a lot of effort and doa, it will pay off if you manage to impress the interviewers the moment you are asked by them regarding any sort of question.
