Faizal said that when he became an itb freshman in 2018, he also participated in ONMIPA-PT, passed onto the national level and won silver medal. 鈥淔or this achievement I feel very happy and it exceeded my expectation because I have little preparation for national ONMIPA,鈥 said Faizal.

It is a challenge for Faizal to compete in activity outside academic activity. But that pays off with the result he got. 鈥淭he difficulty is more about managing the time of study for ONMIPA and university. Because ONMIPA was held at the end of semester it conflicted with exams and assignments,鈥 said Faizal. Despite the condition, Faizal try his hard to make both work well.
