I'm quite surprised myself

If you're a freshman, then yes RM200 per month. Once you get to degree, find a house outside UNITEN with your friends. A heck lot cheaper that way.
Hard or not, can't say.
Hostel for foundies is automatic, or to be exact mandatory. Foundies aren't allowed to stay outside campus. Once you done the final registration or lapor diri, they'll give you the keys to your hostel. You'll continue to get them until you finish your foundies. In the first sem, you'll be thrown in whichever room but on the second semester you can pick your own. Fees must be paid for a single month before taking your keys. After that you can just drag it till the end of semester when UNITEN starts forcing you to clear your debt.

PTPTN for foundies can't say as the fees has changed but that amount sounds right. Back during my time fees are 6k and loan is 5k. If you are ever offered an extra loan from UNITEN themselves, DON'T TAKE IT! You'll be forced to pay during your degree course and in my case, it's 700 per semester. Very painful for a student.

Thx Annahui and exentric_nova for such a clear explanation.....i really appreciate ur help.....so now i will be no worries for that anymore....

HELLO!
No sem break for this thread? lol

another last question.....lets say i paid the registration fees and then i enter UNITEN....so when should i pay the foundation fees since i'm applying for ptptn and waiting for their answer....??if i can get max loan of RM8k...and the total fees was RM9k....so the balance RM1k should be paid before knowing the ptptn result or after??

You'll get ptptn money per semester. Foundation would usually receive about 2-3k per semester. If you get full loan, then that's not an issue. But if you only get partial loan like me, which now i'm getting about 70% loan for my degree, i have to top up another 1-2k per semester.

So, as you've asked. You pay the registration fees when you enter Uniten, yes.
And then you apply for ptptn and wait for ptptn to let you know what type of loan they're offering you. Whatever that is less, you top up during that particular sem. You don't pay for the immediate course at one go, you pay by sem.

So what you need to do now is, pay your registration fees, apply for ptptn and wait

ok thx.....and how many weeks are there in each semester for foundation?

Heh, i can't remember. haha
I'm guessing 3 months, which would be about 11-12 weeks?

thx...haha....the registration fees was RM8xx...and why i get an email said RM1585 total include accomodation fees.....do i really need to pay the accomodation fees 1st when register or can i just pay for 1 month??lets say RM200(1month)+registration=RM1xxx

Whatever Uniten tells you to pay first, you have to pay first. The rest, as in study/tuition and accommodation(depends on how much ptptn load you get) fees will be covered by ptptn.
As for the accommodation fees, yes, you can pay monthly, that's not an issue.
You have to pay for a month at least first, then only they'll give you a room.

I'd still suggest you double confirm with Uniten, don't because of me you have to sleep on the road pulak
lol

Haha, i saw that

No worries, just confirm with Uniten again

For partial loan, won't you actually get the loan according to full fee but without any allowances? That's how my degree loan is. Fees are RM40,000 and my loan is RM40,500. This is partial, not full.

Nope, I still have over 1k to pay per sem
37. ME084397 17/12/2010 INV00374061 5,873.00 0.00 5,873.00 Invoice
38. ME084397 04/01/2011 Bank-In JV00109340 0.00 4,550.00 1,323.00 Adjustment

I got 8k per semester on PTPTN, is that full loan?

Ouh. It's changed now? I know I got partial amount. Mine:


Your CS right so yeah that should be full.

No idea, but that's a lot man. So i'm guessing yes?
I get less than 5k a month, total loan 40.4k.

Added on April 10, 2011, 5:41 pmThe amount i receive from ptptn per sem isn't fixed. Usually it's 4.55k, but once they paid 4.9k. And this doesn't cover the fees in full, i have to fork up extra moolah

Yeah I just realized that after going through the ledger balance. 1 of my sem the fees is 7.1k and they only bank-in 5.5k. Imagine the top-up needed to be made
I got a little confused as earlier on, PTPTN actually bank-in the money to students of a fixed amount. Obviously student started abusing it and use it for their own greedy needs rather than paying the fees.

Those that get full loan usually tend to "enjoy" the extra benefits. But then again, they have to repay ptptn later on

there's no..postgraduate student in uniten? for this thread? :S

There are postgraduate students in Uniten, but not too sure if they're active here
