\u201cThis year, in accordance with the Governor\u2019s policy communicated to\nthe public, the South Sulawesi Provincial Government is providing full\nscholarships to cadet candidates who successfully pass the entrance\nselection for PPI Curug,\u201d said Samsuddin.<\/p>\n
He explained that the selection series, conducted in collaboration\nwith PPI Curug, has been ongoing for one week. After completing the\npsychological testing stage, participants are now undergoing academic\ncompetency tests before proceeding to the interview and physical fitness\nstages.<\/p>\n
From the 196 participants who entered the selection from the initial\nstage, 100 participants were declared successful in reaching the\nacademic stage. The testing is divided into two sessions, with 50\nparticipants in each.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Academic Administration Coordinator of PPI Curug,\nGilang Trio Putra, explained that all selection stages are conducted\nprogressively to ensure participants meet academic, physical, and health\nstandards before undertaking aviation education.<\/p>\n
According to him, following the psychological and academic tests,\nparticipants will undergo interviews and initial physical examinations,\nincluding colour blindness tests and height and weight measurements,\nbefore undergoing comprehensive medical examinations in Jakarta.<\/p>\n

The scholarship programme has received a positive response from\nparticipants. One such student, Andi Miftahul Khair from SMA Negeri 1\nSinjai, admitted to feeling increasingly motivated after passing to the\nacademic stage.<\/p>\n
\u201cInitially, I felt nervous because I had to face the interviewers\ndirectly. However, after learning that my name was among the 100\nparticipants who passed to the next stage, I am even more motivated to\nkeep fighting and not give up,\u201d he said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/100-pilot-candidates-advance-to-academic-test-for-south-sulawesi-scholarship-at-ppi-curug-1783421933", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
