Argh..!!! I am from an average family.Now I am waiting result for SPM. I wonder which one better???? I interested in mechatronic engineering.

If u can go for matrix. Form 6 is for poor ppl who have no chance to go college or private insti. Their only chance is form 6 which is a gamble

Are you planning to go overseas or staying locally?I would recommend you to go for Matrix since you say your from an average family.Not only does matrix not cost you much,they will also give you money during your two semesters there.It's shorter,you get money and as far as I know matriculation students are given priority when applying for IPTA compared to STPM students XD When I was in Matrix in 2008/2009 they provided us with a RM1250 elaun per semester ^^ that's enough money for you to survive an average life in matrix XD and even if you decide to go overseas over the years matrix has been gaining recognition so you can also use it to apply overseas =)

Even some good universities like Monash Accept Malaysian Matriculation Nowadays.

According to this database of theirs you need a CGPA 3.33 to get into their Mechatronics Engineering program =)

for matrix???

ts, so u had been chosen by gov. for matrixculations ?

matriculation result are out?

I thought we have to wait 2-3 weeks after SPM result are out...

SPM result also haven't been released...

Urmm , not to create an argument here. But don't you think your statement on " Form 6 is for poor ppl " is a little offensive ?

Plus , there's also students who go form 6 because they chose it themselves.
Not really due to their financial background.

Anyhow to TS , Do Matrix if you're sure that you will be staying in Malaysia because Matrix is only recognized in Malaysia. If you plan to go to NUS/NTU or maybe further studies in other countries STPM will be your choice.

Choose wisely though because Matrix and STPM differs.

:'[ this thing is bothering me too as Im waiting for SPM results to come out aswell =[

A little offensive? Well then form 6 is for those who cannot afford college or private inst..

If u have the money to go college and get a course of your choice compared to form 6 Im sure everyone will be going to college. Its the people who cant afford that gets stuck in form 6 not knowing their future.. Its not their fault. Its just that rich people get to choose. I myself gone through form 6

matriculation will save ur time studying as the programme only required 1 year and for mechatronics, i suggest u try go for USM, UIAM or Monash. all 3 universities have their own pre-u programme. if im not mistaken, only mechatronics offered at all 3 universities accredited as 'mechatronics engineering'...

Not really, many ppl go to form 6 becoz they want to enter some Uni like NTU or NUS. This is their future.

Ya they go form 6 hoping they can enter good course and get a good uni. THey struggle for STPM and then apply for their course of choice praying they will get it. WHile those in matriculation get the priority and the rich ppl from college already studying the course of their choice.

Actually everything depends on the student themselves , they do well then they wouldn't have much problem going further.

However , Matrix is much easier to enter into IPTA.

If do well doesnt gurantee u a place. You only have much higher chance while those not going to form 6 doesnt have to put in so much effort as u do.

There are people with 4As in stpm not getting a medic couse they apply for. WHat u expec them to do later? Appeal and pray again?

So, by matrix will get what the course u wan???? form 6 no??? I havent know whether get matrix..just make myself clear first

Im not sure about matrik cuz i didnt enter matrik. But i heard ppl say when u enter matrik already choose wat u want to study in uni. Dunno true or not

matrix Monash University recognise???? U think if i wan go for mechatronic engineering, what should I choose?? I wan to be a scientist too

not much oversea uni recognize matrix,singapore for example doesn't recognize matrix...

Not much mean got..which??

i don't know much,perhaps monash is THE only one....
