Information on an applicant's performance obtained by letter-based investigation shall be stamped by the HR or political affairs department of his/her organization or employer.

Early interview

Is it necessary to apply for an early interview? Can I apply for only one batch or all five batches?

A: In principle, any applicant who applies for the SJTU Master of Technology Transfer program is required to attend the early interview. If you're not eligible for pre-admission after the early interview, you can apply for the regular interview after the announcement of the entrance examination result. If you are not in the name list for an early interview, your background assessment score will be compared with that of other applicants later on, and you may be allowed to have the next batch/round of early interview.

 

If I'm on the early interview name list but fail to get the pre-admission eligibility in the end, and my entrance examination score reaches the minimum score for re-examination, then in case of the regular interview, do I still need to complete the application information online for the interview?

A: If you apply for the Master of Technology Transfer program of the same year, then you do not need to file the application information online anymore, but you should apply whether you will attend the regular interview which is subject to confirmation. If you apply for a regular interview, the interview result will be dependent on your regular interview result; if you don't apply for a regular interview, the result of the early interview will prevail.

 

For the scanned copy of originals required to be uploaded for early interview, is it required to be stamped by the HR department?

A: Except for the salary certificate issued by the company, for all scanned copies uploaded, no supporting document from the company is required. For example, no company stamp is required for the organization chart; in addition to the salary certificate issued by the company, equivalent salary proofs such as tax payment certificate and provident fund payment certificate can also be used instead of the salary certificate. The background check will be held at the stage of pre-admission, which means when the pre-admission name list is determined, which is often in April - June, we may check your information with your HR head or your referee(s). Once the materials submitted by the applicant are found to be false, we reserve the right to cancel his/her eligibility for admission and academic registration.

 

How to obtain the original transcript of higher education? As both the original and photocopy of the "complete transcripts of all higher education stages" are required, if I get a bachelor's degree based on my junior college education, do I have to provide the original undergraduate transcript only or together with the original junior college transcript?

A: You can obtain your higher education transcripts from the academic affairs office of your school or the archive center. The photocopies can be made either from your school files or from your archive, and the official seal of the relevant department is required. If you get a bachelor's degree based on junior college education, the original transcripts of both stages are required.

 

Is a letter of recommendation in English only acceptable? Can relatives act as the referee?

A: English letter is acceptable, but it is suggested that the referee should not write the letter in a non-English foreign language in order to avoid reading obstacles to the interviewer and background checker. There is no mandatory requirement for the referee, but in general, the referee is required to know more about the applicant's situation and have a good reputation, such as a direct leader at work. Immediate family members are generally not suitable for writing the recommendation letter for the applicant.
