History

The university was formerly known as Institute of Technology PETRONAS (ITP) and was a wholly owned subsidiary of PETRONAS, the national oil company of Malaysia. It was registered with the Ministry of Higher Education on 26 April 1995 and obtained approval under the "Essential Higher Education Institute Regulation 1996". ITP began its operations at PERMATA, Bangi, Selangor on 3 July 1995. On 26 July 1995, ITP was registered as a private limited company and transferred its operations to Tronoh in the state of Perak, on 1 July 1996. Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) was established on 10 January 1997 when PETRONAS was invited by the Malaysian government to set up a university.

The campus is built on a 4 square kilometres (990 acres) site strategically located at Bandar Seri Iskandar, Tronoh, Perak, Malaysia. When UTP firstly moved to Tronoh, it took over the campus of Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM)'s engineering faculty, which has since moved to their new campus in Penang. In its initial years, lectures, lab sessions and tutorials were held in the old USM facilities, and UTP gradually shifted all operations to newer facilities once construction was completed.

i havent have quite the expertise yet to answer this since i just entered.. but as far as i know if u have the requirement and done well during the interview they will surely take you. From what i heard few years back, there are 3500++ application and only around 400-600 were taken. My batch, the may 2011 intake, they had taken 800++ and that makes me believe that they starting to open up the door a little more wider brows.gif just stick to the advise i gave you, do well during the interview thumbup.gif

sidenote: the number that were taken, includes foundation, undergradute and postgraduate

you got to try your luck bro laugh.gif they still accept 7A's but for sure they give priority to those who manage to get above 7A's. Apply first, do your best in the interview then wait for the offer. best of luck

no matter how you gonna enter utp, either private/load/scholarship you must undergo the interview. there are group and personal tests.
soft skills is very important to pass, also teamwork. we need charismatic students.

we dont want our students to become low standard graduates later, thats why we set the requirements high.

ps: i work with petronas

there is an interview =) but not during the orientation week.. when u receive the application status like accepted, u will have to come first for an interview. After that interview, around a week, u will have the offer letter. Just quite rclxub.gif when u say you are going to register.. seems like there is no interview. Wtfish had happened with utp these days if that is true

thanks. we wont dump you if you manage to perform. smile.gif just like i said, we are multinational company, we cannot afford low quality staffs.
i tell you, there are workers here who get high grades in academics, but kicked out of petronas because they doesnt have the quality value.
other big companies does this too, like exxon mobil. smile.gif
