I beliebe the website you saw is also the one I saw. I was
initially confused too.
My take on this is that if you are on a overseas scholarship, the
moment you sign on the dotted line, you will be appointed as ASP
when you finish your C course. Even if you do not get your 2 upp
Hons. The assumption here is that if you qualify for the scholarhip
you should be a 2 upp material ? Not necessary so of course.
However for rank and file , direct entry ,I think that you will
join as Insp if you do not get a 2 upp hons and above.
As for IPPT wise, the official requirements for admission doesn't require a pass in
IPPT lah. At least that's what the website says. However I believe
it will be an advantage to you if you pass or even do well for
IPPT? After all competition is so keen for a post.
But if you do get into the force, just like any officers, you have
to pass IPPT during your course and your sibsequent annual IPPT to
be considered for promotion.
Just my guess, moderators , am I right?
