Yup. That won't be any new intake until mmc say yes. Please consider other uni before thinking about cucms currently. Just an advice to who wanna join cucms mbbs programme please wait until cucms condition is stable only consider la. Again, cucms is the uni that you will never regret if you enter but not now.

i second it smile.gif

if only we dont have this problem, id highly recommend it to other future doctors pursuin their medical degree in IPTS in Malaysia. Heck, for me this place is sometimes even better than IPTA itself. unfortunately there might not be a 2011 intake for MBBS students if MMC decided to punish us for our misdeed. still, if most of u guys are willing to wait until somewhere between jun/july then we might be able to update u guys with appropriate info. for now just have to wait for MQA to validate and recognize this Uni. sweat.gif

btw, am not pointing fingers but the faults are not only on the administration (never the academicians though smile.gif ), those who knows the truth would prefer to remain silent, and yes, most of us do know the truth and still are diverting the faults to others in order to hide our own folly  icon_question.gif

Hi, my boyfriend is currently a foundation graduate from CUCMS and he was promised a place for his MBBS Degree (he had a special case and this was the agreement). I have read about how their accreditation was revoked and was quite surprised at the minimal number of parents raising hell about the issue.

I am sure everyone could understand that studying medicine is by far, not cheap.

I would like to know what are the offers that CUCMS have given to their student and if they have ask to wait till their accreditation to be returned, how long will this take? By June? A year? You honestly don't think the students deserve to be sheep and herded to their liking.

Education is highly important, and most of us don't print money in our cellars. Seemingly that the two of you could claim it is reputable, can you please justify this? I would like to hear your side of the story.

Thanks in advance.

how can any med school 'promise' a place to a foundation student?........

and it has just been de registered for wilfully flouting mmc rules.......

both these facts shows the true colour of this place......

Because they have accepted his credit transfer. He actually finished his foundation at another university, but when he has registered into their MBBS, they changed the agreement that he needs to attend the foundation program as formalities.

This was done before their accreditation was revoked publicly.

I won't point fingers. I know they are new but after a bit more prodding, there seem to be a lot of people whom does know CUCMS. I have heard many unsatisfied stakeholders, I would like to see what their more positive students could justify.

Sounds more like a pre-approved credit card offer.

Based on merit and fair play? More towards who you know, I think.

Haha. biggrin.gif A little bit I guess. But it wasn't because he knew anyone there, but because it was one of the university that accepted his credit transfer.

Thank you for pointing out the obvious, sir.

I've never heard of credit transfer in foundation programs though, but their 'formality' is basically just sucking off money from the students. And imho, it isn't right to 'promise' students a spot in courses like medicine. It just shows how lax the selection process is. I'll have to agree with limeuu here about the school sinking rock bottom at the moment due to their violation. I only can say that if your boyfriend is doing well academically, go for other well established institutes like IMU or AIMST, or even UCSI for that matter.

I agree.

Let me verify the reason for actually bothering to ask for justification; I'm upset that some parents did little about the accreditation being revoked and even far less action were taken by the university.

The best option is to leave and go for better established universities, correct. But again, not everyone is financially capable of that. PLUS he is already losing out a lot in terms of time (and money) because he had done two foundations and I assume everyone would know that not every university accept another university's foundation qualification.

Since one of CUCMS option is NOT to accept their foundation graduates into their first year of MBBS, what solution have they given to these pool of students? I am not looking to defame CUCMS, I am looking for answers.

can't really say what's gonna happen. They might ask the students to wait, or shunt them into another course at the moment. May I know what is the first foundation program that he did? In terms of cost, I reckon he can look at AIMST or UCSI or to some extent MAHSA? one can opt for financial aid from ptptn too. =) well these are just suggestions. but sorry to hear that he is in such tight situation.

If I'm not mistaken, their only other course offered is Pharmacy. It's a choice, but priorities should be given to those who will continue for Pharmacy, right? That's the logic at least. There will then be very few seats opened for MBBS graduate. If they are any smarter, they won't take more than their quota again.

You mentioned his previous university actually. smile.gif I rather not disclose much personal information here. It was on personal reason he needed to move down KL.

Financially, PTPTN may float him. But that still does not make it any easier to change university. Which is why I wonder if CUCMS are making any arrangement for them.

Thank you anyway. smile.gif You have been a dear.

As per quote, this means they have agreed but they changed that agreement after consensus were made.

So yes sir, it was unethical in many ways and promising a seat is by far, wrong. It is exactly as what I am trying to say, therefore it is obvious to what you have also said in a more emotional and simpler English.

I personally just think that when you want a civilized answer, you should judge and inquire civilly. No offense and much thanks.
