Planning to do masters in UM. Anyone know when is the closing date for application?

Wanted to ask how hard is it to gain admittance to study Masters in UM. I know for undergraduate it is quite tough. I am from IPTS and would now join UM for postgrad program.

I'm going to apply for Masters in Telecommunication Engineering both at UKM and UM. The duration for UKM is min 1 year while in UM its 1.5 years.
BTW, do you mind helping me to estimate the fees for this course as I have no idea how to read the fees chart.

I'm going for coursework. This is the chart

The course that I'm applying for is Telekomunikasi..
Jumlah besar is RM17.501, is that the total amount for this course? If yes that it is rather expensive as UKM who is offering the same course only costs RM6-7000

Thanks for your valuable information. It is quite expensive if that is the case, almost comparable to private U and more expensive than other public U. But I guess that's because UM stands better among all other public U? Thanks anyway

Is this for degree or PTPTN you guys are talking about? Any financial assistance for postgrad at UM?

For postgrads:
If you're planning to study masters by coursework, its best to take up a position as lecturer./research assistant so that you noneed to pay the study fees
If by research and dissertation, yeah, there will be a lot of scholarships to choose from

One more question. If its a MIN 3 sem course, and normally its 4 semesters, does that mean it is advised to take 4 semester as 3 sem will be very packed? What is the norm for this?

Just wanna ask if anyone stay in hostel? Is the room sharing or can one have a single room? Any rules for that?

Let's say I will be in my first year in my Masters program. So there will be no single room?
