Have you guys started studying yet?

I got a call and e-mail 2 days ago, that I finally got accepted into UTP. I'll be registering on the 21st, Monday.

This is all happening so quickly.

Bump for CNY. PM visited UTP yooo...

classic

UTP students, Y SO SERIOUS on WEEKENDS??

Is UTP a bumi's Uni?? i mean the minimum entry requirement is only for bumiputera?

lol relax bro, whats with the racist question certainly not, it's a private uni, i have lots of chinese and indian friends, even sbahan n sarawakian

Sry if my ques lead u to think that way...==. Didnt mean that. Was it hard to enter UTP?? I only got CGPA 2.70 for my stpm ....not sure if i can apply.

it's okay it's not that hard actually but it ain't easy either. the point is u just had to nail the interview coz during my freshman days results arent the only thing matters. a few did manage to enter although they didnt met certain requirements

Everyone has to go thru the interview?? Can share v me what did u do to prepare for your interview??

yep, every single one. to be honest, i did very little they arent worth mentioned my seniors told me that everyone will be given a random set of case study to be discuss on. since i didnt know the topic, i only skim thru some random article over the net

UTP entry requirements very relaxed lately...

yeah what to do no more smart people like you wanna enter haha

Standards are constantly being raised at this university. Not easy being a student here, I'll tell you that much.

the huge number of intakes and students failing after that, unable to cope, was quite worrying but some people deserves a second chance. some of them perform well even when they don't met the entry requirements. but then utp trolling with style

Hello again to all,

Currently, my sister is waiting for her UTP admission result. Meanwhile, she attended The Star Scholarship and managed to get admission at UCSI (For PE as well).

So now we are in the confusion state - UCSI need to respond by tomolo and UTP result will be out only end of the month. Looking at financial wise, UCSI will be free and UTP still alot of uncertainties.

What will you guys do? rclxub.gif

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As of today, she got Matriculation and also UCSI (with full sholarship), hmmmmm getting more confuse.

first of all congrats PE is really a hot course nowadays since the recent events of petroleum site discoveries. so in terms of employment later whether UTP or UCSI i still think that she'll get her job really quick after graduation. I don't see any reason why UTP is a better choice now since the scholarship is really a big plus on the UCSI side.

I really didnt have any idea on matriculation a lot of my friends got 4 flat cgpa upon finishing but still they ended up in local university, really the opposite of what they're expecting of flying overseas. but some of them manage to grab scholarship of course.

IMHO UCSI seems to be the better choice but i believe your sister can make a better choice for herself, im just merely giving my perspective here

Thanks a_rev93!
I appreciate your advise.

What worrying me is, the minimum requirement for PE in UCSI is extremely lenient. I know many says if you know your purpose you shall just focus and complete what you suppose to do.

But as a brother, I am worried about the environment of these 2 places. I never been to UTP but the requirement to enter is very strict which I expect the have the best of the best.
Meanwhile in UTP anyone can do PE, as long you have 5 credits.

Sorry if I sound conservative but just that worried when comes to my little sister education and her life path

no problem bro

what?? 5 creds? wow my uni changed so much during my sem break. tbh i really dont know what happened to my beloved uni these days (so much bad news) but some of the lecturers are awesome to be specific on the scale of their experience. 30/20 years sounds common. ex-petronas, shell or whatever international company you name it. i can't comment on the enviroment. those stuffs are subjective, different from person to person

Hello a_rev93

Just wondering, you graduated from UCSI?

lolwut? no im here since my sweet 18. why bro?
