Selection
of Participants
For JPP 2009 the intake of students will be 25 students, the same as last year.
This maximum number is set because the number of English language places for
interns in Jakarta is limited. We will have a reserve list in case some selected
applicants drop out.
ACICIS will choose participants on a number of criteria including: academic
record, industry experience, life experience, the student's flexibility in
choice of placement, the general quality and order of receipt of the student's
application. These criteria have long been stated on the ACICIS website.
The selection panel which will choose the applicants that will be selected on
the JPP 2009 will be:
