HI !! (@_@) – I'm NIK -
This is my opinion based on the article of PTPTN online application…May you have a pleasant moment when reading it…
Perbadanan Tabung Pendidikan Tinggi ( PTPTN ) is one of the source of financial for students in order to support their studies. As we all know a quite large of money is needed for the fees payment as well as for the life cost in university. That is why most of the students prefer to apply for PTPTN. Usually, students choose PTPTN as their second choice after they failed to get the scholarship.
Actually, I am not applying for PTPTN but through what I heard from my friends, PTPTN had caused a lot of trouble to the students. There are many complaints especially from parents and students regarding the PTPTN management.
One of the main problems is that the slow of network connection when the applicant surf for the PTPTN website. Normally this problem occurs due to the crowded of people trying to surf for the website at the same time. The network is always busy and this lead to the difficulties for students to complete the application form in a given time. I had read the article on complaint in newspaper. Parents of one of the applicant had complained about the difficulty of using online application. They also suggest that the PTPTN administration should provide online application as well as manual way to apply the PTPTN for the next time so that the applicants can adapt first with online application. Besides that, in my opinion there will be a problem for the applicants from the rural area to apply if there is only one way of application as there is limited or no internet coverage in this area. They may not be able to apply online.
PTPTN also consume a lot of student’s time. I had observed the situation where the students had to queue up for hours just only to submit the application forms. The PTPTN administration should give attention to this problem they should provide more peoples to work on it. What my friend had experienced is she had to queue up for two hours for nothing. Even though, she had waited for hours, she had to submit the application form for the next day as she had to attend the lecture.
Regarding to this problem, I suggest that the PTPTN administration should give attention to this problem and take a prompt action so that everyone will be satisfied.
