Hi.

Ex Politeknik Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah (Shah Alam) JKE diploma student reporting in.

Graduated from poli in 2005, worked in a medical company for 15 months, now studying degree in Universiti Malaysia Perlis, will graduate this May *finger crossed*

I just got this info from a Prof in Unimap.

Apparently, UniMAP has signed a contract with politeknik to make sure 20% of poli student can enter unimap. Some Uni do so too, but most of other uni will only take up about 10% or less. So you do the math.

The purpose of establishment of K.U. (Kolej Universiti) is to take students with the technical background (with diploma etc), but due to the 'commercialization', we have been left out once again.

But, don't feel disappointed. Most of the KU-upgrade University are more than willing to accept poli student.

The fact is, 40% of the top scorers in Unimap are the ex-diploma student. Kindly feel good about that (I am )

yes, very very agree

I doubt that. My MUET band 4, CGPA 3.7, UM still shut their door on me. It's like a random pick in terms of UPU application for Degree, regardless of your results. But still, I'm still ok since I got my first choice course, just not the first choice uni; pity my coursemates from matrix and stpm who kena 'kick' into the so-called random course

I doubt that too. I know the chance is very very very very small, but my poli coursemate got in UM, with CGPA lower than me. True, iJehles.

But yeah also, lucky me manage to get my course. UniMAP is not such a bad place anyway, ranking 6th in Malaysia public uni (or so I heard from my 'boss')
