Oops, tak jadi then. Unless your phone can pick up frequency that operates over 4G network.

Seems like a WiMAX network for me. Don't think many smartphones support that (at least those to be found in Malaysia).

Any idea what sort of furnishings they provide in the EduSquare houses?

Basic furnishing I suppose. Table, chair, wardrobe, bed, mattress, toilet.

^thanks man.

sorry i keep asking questions but i'm excited biggrin.gif
I'm going to do foundation. The tuition fee that I have to pay at registration is RM 15,000 right? anything else I need to pay for?

Also does anyone know how many classes/hours a business foundation student has per day/week? etc.
*
I think you can just pay like 1/2 of the 1st semester fee, only that they will still urge you to pay by notifying you via emails (read annoying spam).
And yes, you do not need to pay anything else, not like other institutions with hidden fee. If you are doing a science-based course, you may need to purchase lab coat and goggle for your lab session though.

I think it's about 20 hours per week, inclusive of tutorials.

Good news, if true.  Can you cite any authority for this?

I am wrong. This is what quoted in their email urging people to pay fee.
QUOTE
For Malaysian students, there is no installment basis (2 installment payment per semester) for the tuition fees payment and you need to pay the full tuition fees for 1 semester during the registration.

Also, regarding the course (directed to Mechanical student, the counselor wasn't so helpful)

1) At what point of the syllabus whereby computer are necessary? I am told there are element CAD (Computer Aided Design) part. Is it the Design and Manufacture?

2) I read about the inter-campus exchange programme but what are the real possibilities of actually being accepted for it?
    The counselor told me it's subjected to the availability and that I must fulfill the requirements. But still, what exactly are the chances?
    I don't want to get my hopes high if the turns out that only the top 5 or 10 student are eligible.  laugh.gif

3) If I only study for 3 years, I will graduate by Sept 2014 right? Just trying to double confirm.


Added on September 19, 2011, 12:11 am4) When can I start applying for PTPTN?
*
1. Yes, it's in the Design & Manufacture where you will learn how to draw engineering parts via Pro|E, a CAD modelling software. In Year 2, you'll be taking up modules for MATLAB, a mathematical computation software whereas in Year 3 and 4, depending on the electives and projects you do, you'll need different types of software. In Mechanical department, all our lab reports are to be produced electronically, so do many other writing assignments. As a student, you'll get a student version of Pro|E.

2. It all depends how many students apply and how many places are there to be filled up. I was told there's about 10 seats available 2 years ago, per school, and it doesn't seem that people are all going for it. Be aware that the student population grow very steeply within these years and I can't tell if it's at your batch, what is going to happen. My year, it's about whether we want to or not because there are excess of seats for Mechanical.

3. Start Sept 2011, finish Year 1 by May 12, Year 2 by May 13, Year 3 by May 14, graduation somewhere in July 2014. Wait, I thought the world ends at 2012?

4. After you join the university, you'll receive emails about that. I didn't apply PTPTN, so, some other may have better info for you about this.

Thanks for you reply tanjinjack  laugh.gif

I am on a scholarship.
As for laptops, 2k can get you one already now. Pro|E could be a bit resource hungry, but modern laptops should be able to handle it rather easily.
Another alternative is to use the computers in the universities. However, as student population increases, unused computers are rather hard to find (especially during peak assignment season) and there have been more and more classes using the computer rooms. Not a reliable backup.

Thanx to those who answered my questions! So i was waiting for the accommodation office to email me abt which room i'll be getting and seeing as registration's in 2days i panicked and finally called and -________- they didn't even file my application i think..just cause im local. After like 7mins on the phone the lady finally says i shld try for off campus rooms and gave me 2 numbers, both of which were completely full btw.... anyway, i came baq here XD muchos helpful. called a few ppl and now i just wanted to make sure im not being duped since at this time, being all last min, prices might get hiked up?

for a master bedroom with my own bathroom with internet, not inclusive of utilities in tts4 - rm750
---is this..you noe, normal?

and then another room in a hs at tts4 with my own bathroom not inclusive of utilities and internet - rm430

the difference is internet and i guess room size but the price diff is scary and they're both telling me that if i dont give deposit for room now it'll prob be gone since i told them i'd only be able to see the rooms on wed so yeaa =s

advice?
*
I will say just wait until you get to see the room. Look out on the 4th post in this thread for more accommodation stuff.
As for the RM750 price tag, it is considered fair as it is a master bedroom, which is expected to be housed by two people. Similarly goes to the RM430. Be aware that TTS4 WiFi Precint is different with just TTS4 and the former commands better market price.

Price don't get hiked up during last minutes, but good unit is being grabbed up faster than anything else.

This is the latest classified (mostly accommodation) circulated within our uni email. Don't think it is perfectly alright to disclose it this way, but whatever.
And eye-hurting stuff ahead, formatting is broken with C&P from the mail.

Hey guys.. just want to ask...

is there anyone here that never met the entry requirement but got accepted in??
anyone with 2nd class honors B studying @ Nott now??
*
I am sure they are people like that, but it is getting uncommon now I believe, with them being able to recruit enough students who meet their minimum academic requirement.
If you are asking for postgraduate, I think it is rather flexible. Not to say it does not have standard, but they look more than academics in picking a postgraduate student.

I cant, cause I am now at Thailand with my family until Saturday only back. So, I'm wondering is the Bank Islam Malaysia Saving Account needed? and i can register ptptn through online?

Consider yourself unlucky or the system not flexible, you need a Bank Islam account for PTPTN. Some other universities actually use CIMB or BSN.

guys, i need help understanding my timetable

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


1) I don't understand the classes in Mon, Tue and Fri. Which class am I suppose to attend?

3) What does "MM1DM1/C1/02#" or "HG1M11/T1/01 means?

2) From what I understand, the bottom code like "BlockF1 . F1A13" means BlockF1 = Central Teaching 1, F1 = First floor/ground floor, A13 = room no. Am I right?

3) what does 2-10, 2-13, 21-32, 1-52 means?
*
1. What you don't understand? If it's about the Engineering Maths, just attend the one belongs to you.

3. It's module code, then possibly tutorial code after that. Stuff like that.

2. Yes.

3. NO idea, don't think it really matters.

Nope there isn't one. Anyone care to upload the Mech Eng timetable to the FB page? I suppose they make it where all 4 years are on the same file again?

Yeah, I need that as well. I really hate the way they everytime delay until the final minute (usually minutes before 5pm of the Friday prior to semester start) only they release it. Why is it that way every single time!!

Owhhhhhh.... I finally understand. LOL I opened the wrong pdf. There's another one that has individual years separated one. LOLLLL.

The formatting still sucks though.

Even the 'right' pdf looks so wrong!! And all those modules offered outside of the own department is not shown, have to refer back to the 'so wrong' pdf, and that is not really helpful.
Be really grateful though, they don't ghost-script it. CTRL+F still works.
