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

mine was like they put you into groups of 5.. they give u and your group member some papers that have a similar topic but different task.. for example its about drought, u got to explain the cause of it while your friend have to line up a few solutions to prevent drought. U guys can list it on a piece of paper and they will give you a few mins to discuss with your group member. Later they will put you into another room where you wait for your turn to be interviewed. the first part was individually. after all of your group members had finished, they will call in all of you for a group interview. my tips: talk as much as you can.. they dont give a damn on your powderful england or brilliant ideas, just want to see how effective you work with each other based on your task.

I see. Is that means that the selection is not over yet? Because I already received the offer letter and it stated that this coming 22th we will have to register and undergo orientation for 4 days, yet I have never been interviewed by UTP. So my guess is during the orientation they will interview us and if the students is not up to their standard, they will do something about it hmm.gif .

BTW, I cant believe that petronas would just give up like that. they should take this as a challenge and eventuallt take this university as a top 100 university. its a shame that a multibillion company would just give up.

its just a rumour btw... i only accept it as a fact when the officials announce it. I dont want to blame anyone but why an already multibillion company wants to drop off such a small burden like utp.. we can already guess that i believe. Enough is never enough for human isnt it.. especially the one with power

hmm I would like to know whether UTP takes foundation student from other Uni for their degree program? eg Uniten.

I planned to finish my foundation in engineering in Uniten then continue to pursue my degree in Petroleum Engineering in UTP. Is that possible? blush.gif

assuming foundation in UTAR is accepted as A-level equivalent, then yes you can try your luck for undergraduate degree. i have a couple of my friends who entered through STPM and matriculation results (none did foundie @ UTAR though) during my 1st year

Ex-UTPian here.

Is it true that Petronas are not giving out scholarship/loan to UTP students anymore? Does this mean new students have to apply for PTPTN/FAMA etc.? If that's true then it truly sucks.

Nah, they still giving loan/scholarship but i saw decreased number in candidates getting scholarship from them.. dunno whether a lot didn't perform good in the interview or they intentionally decrease it. Btw, some of my friends here who got scholar is damn rich.. they suppose to find candidates who are really poor and stuff rclxub.gif

Guys, do UTP accept credit transfer from Uniten? I just finished my first 15 credit hours in mech. engineering, but I feel that UTP is preferrable for me. Regardless of the location.

petronas is investing in BRAINS. if u have the brain, they don't care about your family background. after all, they 'own' ur brain after they sponsor ur education. so yeah. they want brainsssss. hahahaha

a_rev93 First of all, thank you very much for opening this thread and replying people's requests.
And now my situation. Currently, I am an international (from Russian Federation) second semester student in Monash University Sunway Campus. Considering to continue my studies in UTP. So question: Will it be possible for me to credit transfer the subjects i have already done if they match UTP's courses, so i won't have to start all over again?

But does it also apply for those, who wants to continue their studies in UTP till the graduation? If yes, it says:
QUOTE
Upon successfully completing the courses and passing the prescribed examinations at host university, the credit hours obtained of not exceeding 30 will be transferred towards the student’s degree at UTP.

So this mean that even though i have 48 credit hours completed only 30 will be counted?

a_rev93 First of all, thank you very much for opening this thread and replying people's requests.
And now my situation. Currently, I am an international (from Russian Federation) second semester student in Monash University Sunway Campus. Considering to continue my studies in UTP. So question: Will it be possible for me to credit transfer the subjects i have already done if they match UTP's courses, so i won't have to start all over again?

are you currently pursuing degree? utp only open it's windows in january, may and september. u have to be fast now because the may application is closing.. but don't lose heart yet.. since you are currently in malaysia, you can call them to clarify things. do you have some kind of representative here in malaysia?

i saw a lot of my international friends have their own representative in case they have to deal with admin..so they settle anything easier. since you're currently in degree it is best to call them first because im not actually quite familiar how this credit transfer works.

And what about this fee called personal deposit (refundable)? When it is refunded?

And how many semesters in a year? In an academic calendar it says trimesters.

Hello there Amirul, I'm William rclxms.gif I'm a private student, so not a scholarship holder at the moment. I also did not see directions to V6(probably missed it) while finding V5 to cari my friend haha. I guess they are far from each other then. But I have a question, if I'm not wrong the V's are super far from the resource centre right? So how do UTP-ians usually travel to study there? Since I think it's one of the best places to study in UTP drool.gif haha. I'm looking forward very much for MAS and meeting you too! The first chinese dude who intros himself as William should be none other than me. rclxm9.gif Good luck for your finals and kick ass!

Hi, V6 is the first village you see if you drive into UTP from the guard house, it it towards your left (lakeside), take the first roundabout turning to the left.

As for V5, it is on the opposite end of V6, by leg, it should take about 10-15minutes of leisurely walk. Kinda far for me.

V6, V1 and V2 is the closest to the resource centre, based on my estimation.

When I was studying there, I used to have a bicycle to move around the campus, however I encountered plenty of problem with it (broken bike, stolen and found again, etc). In the end, I just use my leg. Before I graduated, I saw that many juniors have the own bicycle, probably you want to consider it.

Have fun studying smile.gif

Thank you notworthy.gif I did saw bicycles in the vicinity of the villages and being from KL I'm not used to seeing college cyclers haha, but I will consider that. One more question, is the main entrance the ONLY opening in/out of UTP? Like is there one nearby certain villages? Once more thank you and hope you're enjoying life too. thumbup.gif

I would say yes, although we actually have one main entrance, and another back entrance use mostly by UTP bus when they go to Pasar Malam every Wednesday. So just bear in mind although we have two, majority of UTPians use only the main one.

I believe so too. The other V3, V4, V5 is full of seniors. And some juniors are still longing to move from v2 and v6 to there. So, please wait for your turn smile.gif

Just be careful of your belongings and valuables such as laptops, kensington lock or whatever lock you can find is good as precaution

Do you remember when did you get moved to either V3, V4, or V5? Was it during the start of 2nd year of undergraduate studies? I want an apartment to live in biggrin.gif haha.

I think I was stuck in V2 for a year (previously 2 semester). But I was happy there though, single room for myself biggrin.gif
Then I straight moved into V5, got lucky smile.gif

But that was years ago. I graduated in October 2010 by the way smile.gif

Just keep our fingers crossing though. Many apply for engineering, not much ICT I suppose (didn't even know that UTP got ICT until a talk was given during the educamp)

Not really sure but when the ICT lecturer gave a talk during the educamp, it seems like they have sufficient facility for all the students to use. Anyhow, you should as existing ICT students here. thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

To anyone else who got an offer this May, do we really need to bring CERTIFIED akademik/ko-kurikulum certificates during registration day?because I thought the ones we sent during application period would suffice, I find it troublesome to go again actually haha. Anyone else may advise too please.

No, you just need to bring all ORIGINAL supported documents (SPM certs, Diploma certs, Co-cu, etc). Because registrar department might want to see them during registration.

ICT facilities. Well, I agree with Ray that we need to know what kind of facilities you were expecting. If you are talking merely about a computer to do programming, it is sufficient, we have Virtual Reality tools and gloves so that's not a problem.

However, let me warn you ICT and Computer Science is 2 totally different thing. If you were hoping to get into Computer Science, be a real programmer, UTP is not for you. We do have really good programmer from our university but the course is focusing on producing a graduate who are able to apply ICT into business world, rather than having a really good programmer.

I hope I set the right expectation for you.

Hard but possible, had bicycle earlier in my life, then used my leg.
Then towards final year, some of my friends had cars, sometimes asked for help if I needed transportation, but yeah, it is possible. Bought a car when I started working tongue.gif

Allow me to add (just remembered tongue.gif ).
If you really have to travel by car, you may rent cars for usage, cost is affordable, 40-80 depending on type of cars per 12 hours. Then you can go to various place with the car.

The total cost, including petrol & toll (if any) will be a bit high, but managable if you can get 5 person into the car to share out the cost.

Of course, this option is not viable, if you are thinking to go out for an hour or two to nearby town to buy groceries or get something done. In this case, I believe most people would have a motorcycle to do the job.

Just bear in mind when travelling in motorcycle to be extra careful of cows & buffaloes. I lost count of the number of cases where student lost their life driving or riding and involved in accidents with the animals.

Yes cows are a concern, if you have to be really close to them(no choice or whatever), drive VERY very slowly(if you're using car) or else the cows will start ramming as they feel threatened. For motorcyclists duh move away if you see cows ahead, stop for a bit lah. tongue.gif

credit transfer from what i know, u have to settle by yourself but of course meeting with registrar and the head of dept/dean.
you have to provide the list and asking for approval.

I'm a diploma student and applied for the September intake, but sadly I did not get shortlisted.
You guys think I have a good chance to re-apply for the next intake (January)? My diploma CGPA does not have that "WOW" factor, it's only 3.59 (in Automotive). Competition is stiff I guess. sad.gif

hi!
just finished a levels recently but unable to apply for the september intake cause they need my final results which was not release 2 weeks after the deadline so I'm waiting for the jan intake to open and will be applying for the undergrad course in chem eng..
would like to ask how hard is it to enter utp? I met their academic requirements (but not sure about the muet part cause I didn't take muet, only spm 1119 english)
I'll be applying as a self-funded student.
Are there chances where my application will be accepted? Or are there quotas? cause I know there are students students coming in from foundation as well as scholarship holders... ><

What makes it hard is probably because many of those who apply have good grades.
I think muet is not a requirement to get into the university because once shortlisted you will be evaluated through the interview which is pretty simple if you know the issue given well.
About quota, I believe there is quota because the university is not that big, average around 600 per intake maybe (not sure), maybe there are already quota for those who got scholarship (PETRONAS, Mara, JPA, etc) but that is included in the figure.

Oh~ what is the interview like? As in straight in your face honest questions' , 'get to know you interview' or 'strict ones where they ask questions related to field' ?
Kinda intimidated by interviews cause had experienced of doing well in an interview but still failed or left a good impression but not a good answer to their questions
So my luck with anything involving interviews is very bad cry.gif

This was during my time (2008), I was interviewed for Petronas scholarship and UTP, which I think is still the same now. There has two stage; individual and group. Each of you will be grouped, and given a case study of the same topic per group but different situation per individual. It's more on a case study that basically you have to propose a solution. For example, global warming, traffic jam, international aid, CSR, etc.

For individual, you just present your ideas to two interviewers for about 5 minutes, after basic self introduction.
For group, each present each's idea, and find the best solution among them and propose to the interviewers.

I got traffic jam which was kinda easy for me and I still remember one of my solution was to build flying cars. LOL. mega_shok.gif mega_shok.gif

Good luck for those starting their new life in UTP.

Food: RM 10 per day is enough. Hence, that could translate to about RM300 per month, addition of phone bill maybe just RM30, skip all the entertainment to ipoh (or kept to minimum) your expenses won't be more than RM400. Life in Uni means you'll need to be smart of your expenses smile.gif

Dress code: You may find that in the Uni Rule Book, I think they still distribute it to all new joiners. Otherwise what crazeed mention is correct. No shorts, no round neck (only collar T). Matric card to be worn at all times. Summon is RM 30.

Coverage: Maxis is ok too, but as you move from places to places, there might be certain place in the uni where some telco coverage is slightly bad. Example in room my bed has bad Maxis line, but if I walked over to my room mate's side the line is ok... (strange but true)

Timetable planning: What kind of guide you need in timetable planning?
Normally you don't ask for senior's help, but you work it out with your coursemate or friends, so that you all ended up in the same class together smile.gif Easier to be grouped into group assignments etc...
But if you have general questions regarding timetable planning, why not try to post here and see if someone able to help you with it or not.

Need suggestion , received email for invitation for assessment for undergraduate admission as aninternational l student.

But I am currently in Pakistan , how am I supposed to come to Malaysia in a week , it's not possible, do they take interview at embassies.

Any help from seniors... sad.gif

From my own experience (was a candidate myself before I revoke my offer), u'll be interviewed in their office in KLCC during weekend... u can take a direct flight to KL, u don't have to apply for visa prior ur visit, u'll be granted with a visiting visa for 21 days at the airport if I'm not mistaken (well, call Malaysian's embassy first). But I don't think they can interview u at Malaysian's embassy... u can always call them tho' sweat.gif


Good luck and all the best biggrin.gif

nope, international students will be interviewed in their office in KLCC during the weekend... educamp come afterwards, in fact, it's ur orientation week.

p.s. during the interview, they'll test ur english proficiency (unless u have IELTS/TOFEL with passing result) and maths. yes, math!! but don't worry, it's just basic math... u don't even need a calculator (u'll be asked about basic fundamentals, i.e. tan = sin/cos). this's as of september in take 2011.

I think what he meant is that MAS come afterwards. MAS is the orientation week. Educamp is the interview session plus a bit of fun.

So I believe you don't have to educamp after your interview, but if you're accepted in, you'll need to go MAS, or the orientation week.

Whether you are accepted or not, for local students, they can check in the web tool, however I am unsure for international students. You may clarify with them when you do your interview.

Science questions, not sure. As far as my memory goes, no. But I could be wrong for 2 reasons.

1. My memory is wrong and I am getting old.
2. They did changed the format. After all it was years back lol.

you can apply for exemption once u get here.. have to go to some offices and take signature of respective lecturers and then submit thumbup.gif pretty simple i guess.

i dont know about the visa process sorry sad.gif

i have a lot of pakistanis friends here. even my tutor so no worries. congrats bro laugh.gif

laugh.gif this is quite off-topic but my speed in my siggy is the speed that i get from my room.. now they had upgraded the tower to dual channel, my current speed is doubled. kinda like a middle finger to unifi. but of course i tweak stuff like crazy last time rclxub.gif maxis signal here is very bad.. just proceed with celcom or p1 though. less the trouble unlike utp's so called 'internet' rolleyes.gif

1) can got many ex-diploma result like shit but come here.

2) of course can

3) phone or internet? Digi got prob, so take maxis/celcom. For internet, UTP internet not bad, but if u want your own BB then take Celcom.

4) my educamp not really (or at least they never checked if ppl brought parents or not). They got la some session with the parents where they promote their uni to them...but if your parents are not there, nobody will find out or care la.

Events are a big thing here at UTP. Recruitment drives for everything. Sometimes I wonder how much participation is too much participation...

P.S. jealous at how med students don't have to worry about extra-curriculars...seems like all they do is pass exams...

do not worry for your educamp. there is no test at all. educamp is only interview, group and individual on general issues, such as traffic jam or flood. thats all.

There are no test for foundation applicants, so if you applied foundation there's no need to worry. If you are an undergrad applicant, the test has 60 questions, multiple choices, and you will have 2 hours to complete them. It's divided into 3 subjects, Chemistry, Physics and Maths, 20 questions each. For those who are fresh SPM leavers you might not have a problem. I haven't studied chemistry in 4 years, and my maths and physics have become rusty as well. Thankfully I do remember fragments of them and I can deduce the answers from the choices.

The subject of the discussion is different for each batch so there's no point in telling you mine. It's about current issues, such as mass media, addictions, etc. etc.

Congratz too all jan 2013 intake. Don't worry guys,life in utp it's not hard as you guys expected.

For foundation,all you have to get ready is how you can tackle by submitting assignment,call lab and etc in a very short time. That's all about and don't shy to ask lecturer because lecturer like student to ask them so if they recognize you,maybe if your test mark is almost A like that,maybe he/she could help you because he/she can see your efforts asking question.


Bear in mind,foundation is not hard ok,just don't be lazy,if you got assignmen do it quickly because 4 month for 1 semester is not long,too short...

Better you busy in the starting of semester rather than busy on the last minute + finals is around corner...

chill la bro.the result isnt out yet.hopefully all those who came for the educamp get a place in utp.chin up aite.think on the bright side.out of all the applicants 2 days ago,there's only 90+ undergraduate applicants.the rest is foundation applicants.don't know how many udergrad applicants from sarawak n sabah.plus,there's also applicants that are already studying in other uni.maybe if they were offered a diff course then they asked for,they would change their mind?it doesn't really matter la.i also can't do most of the chemistry quest.we were give 20 minutes to answer 20 chemistry questions.i dont think anyone can get a prefect score on that.some more the questions were tricky.seriously?haha.the girls that was there during the educamp 2 days ago are just average to me.maybe a few of them above average but then who cares?if you really want to see hot girls all the time while studying,go for sunway/lim kok wing or segi.believe me,you dont even want to blink later on.haha

You can bring your stuff during registration day. They will give out rooms when you register.

The orientation week is kinda fun if you are the type who want to make new friends quickly. But I skip mine though tongue.gif

Just some breaking ice and singing UTP and PETRONAS anthem

The activities are just for fun but there are some briefings that are related to academics (ex: how to read your timetable, how to choose tutorial and lab slot etc etc)

The facilitators will guide you through common students' life. Nothing heavy smile.gif

You will be introduced to many clubs during MAS.

You can register for your preferred clubs during MMK (Minggu Mesra Kampus)

Np bro.

It is possible to change course because foundation programme for engineering is the same for all courses.

All engineering courses (mechanical, electrical, petroleum etc) will have to take the same subjects for foundation.

You can also change to IT/BIS. No problem at all.

Foundation is real easy. It is just like a vacation/honeymoon phase smile.gif

Just don't miss any labs, assignments, quizzes and tests. Once you have good coursework mark, you will do well for the subject nod.gif

Reserved means what ? The letter also say we as well to check our application status from 3rd to 8th of January ..I wonder how many of the applicants is in the reserved list. Are those who fail to join jan intake all automatically transfer to reserved list or MAyBE some of them is already rejected..

By the way..I'm quite confused about the KIV thingy..there are about 3000 applicants who went the interview and they said 750 will be chosen..they put us in KIV phase now..are those who are not chosen for January intake all get KIV..or some of them is rejected ?

I don't know how they work. All I know is KIV means that they're putting us on hold for further revision. Some who did get a KIV did get accepted eventually. The chances are pretty low but still the possibility is still there.
BTW, are you an SPM leaver?

i honestly believe there's no such thing as lying or anything cause she's one of the most honest person i know and utp have quota on each of the course.so maybe,just MAYBE currently the seats for mechanical is full.just hope they take our 2nd and 3rd choice taken into consideration.

I guess they're waiting for people to drop out at the last minute or something. People have done that, because maybe they have applied for other unis and accepted those.

The reason I'm excited is that the opportunities that can come along after I graduate. It has gone down a bit and placed by disappointment now that I'm 'reserved' rather than accepted. sad.gif

So anyway do any of you newbies like to write or have a camera? I'm editor of the uni newsletter, Heart of Tronoh (HOT). We're looking for reporters/photographers for next sem. Later we'll have our booth at MMK and you can come visit, but it's never to too early to start recruiting hahaha.

like this page: https://www.facebook.com/heartoftronoh

kinda boring now, but since I'm being promoted to editor next sem, some really big changes are in store! wink.gif

UTP do have holidays during public holidays. But don't expect long holidays, as UTP now is using tri-semester system, thus extra holidays are quite few. Even study week is less than 7 days.

Food in UTP is varies from less expensive to moderate. If you eat rice with few dishes probably cost you RM 5 per meal. UTP has Malay, Arab, Western.

Laundry machine RM 2/per use if I'm not mistaken.
Laundry service RM 2 per kg.

Stuff like stationary? Junk Food? UTP has groceries shop inside the campus. But if you have transport probably would be better go to Tesco Seri Iskandar.

Roughly RM 400 ~ RM600 per month is sufficient for average student.

Breakfast usually quite cheap. Nasi lemak/mee/mihun/kuetiaw costs MYR2 per plate maximum.

For lunch and dinner nasi campur (nasi+ayam+sayur) costs about MYR3-5 depends on cafeteria.

It is not expensive if you eat inside UTP. Most cafeteria offer reasonable prices to students.

So don't worry too much. Living expenses in UTP are okay smile.gif

You can just reply the offer letter via email. Try to call UTP and ask them. For the registration fee I think you can pay on the day of the registration at UTP, but I suggest you pay it earlier because it could be very crowded.

Np problem. During lecture you can wear casual clothes like collared shirt with jeans. You can't wear T-Shirt and slippers tho.

Baju Kemeja Lengan Panjang putih is only compulsory to be wear during MAS week (orientation week).

Be serious in dress code? During MAS week do wear the Baju Kemeja Lengan Panjang. If during lecture, its depend on yourself, there is saying "you are not guilty until you are caught". If you are caught wearing inappropriate clothes by the Security Guard be prepared to pay RM 30 per summon LOL.

Class will start after you finished MAS week. Don't worry too much.

you have to follow the dress code when you are around the academic blocks/IRC/chancellor complex/offices which is collar tshirt, long pants with shoes. Anywhere else like your hostel area/cafe you can wear short pants. But do bear in mind, previously there is a rule where girls cant wear hot pants/singlet when they are at the cafe. The security guards will be giving out summons for fun. Reason for the rule - attire too revealing.

Latest from the uni, they have portable metal detectors now at all the exam venues, the guards will check your body for handphones or other electronic devices which are not allowed. Like in an airport shocking.gif shocking.gif icon_rolleyes.gif

MAS week you're gonna need formal wear sometimes, semi-formal other times. Two collared should be enough la.

After that, you can wear almost anything you want (just has to be "decent"). biggrin.gif

No bus provided, you dont even get bus shuttle from residential hostel to academic blocks. the hostel and academic blocks are pretty near biggrin.gif

you can take an ETS train from batu gajah to KL Sentral, and vice versa.

I'm from Klang, so our routes are similar. Easiest is to buy bus ticket to KL (Plusliner). The Plusliner counter is in Taman Maju, which is about 3 minute driving distance away from UTP (to get there ask a friend to send or call taxi). You can buy the ticket online as well (go to Plusliner website, origin: Bota, destination: KL). You will board the bus at Taman Maju bus stop. The bus will drop you at KL Sentral. From there you know la.
I do this every time I go back.

The ETS train can also take you to KL sentral, but that one you have to go all the way to Batu Gajah train station to board, and hiring a taxi there is pretty expensive. Ask friend to send also is a bit menyusahkan cos quite far.

I'm from Klang, so our routes are similar. Easiest is to buy bus ticket to KL (Plusliner). The Plusliner counter is in Taman Maju, which is about 3 minute driving distance away from UTP (to get there ask a friend to send or call taxi). You can buy the ticket online as well (go to Plusliner website, origin: Bota, destination: KL). You will board the bus at Taman Maju bus stop. The bus will drop you at KL Sentral. From there you know la.
I do this every time I go back.

The ETS train can also take you to KL sentral, but that one you have to go all the way to Batu Gajah train station to board, and hiring a taxi there is pretty expensive. Ask friend to send also is a bit menyusahkan cos quite far.
Yes, I have a friend who did that. He's doing CE here now.

Can wear jeans, t-shirt, slipper also can (but lab must wear shoes)

No need collared t-shirt. It is not that strict for girls laugh.gif

But for guys, you will face the security guard if you meet them while not wearing collared tees.

MAS week you're gonna need formal wear sometimes, semi-formal other times. Two collared should be enough la.

After that, you can wear almost anything you want (just has to be "decent").  biggrin.gif

You can bring cups and plates if you intend to eat/drink in your room, if not you can just walk to nearest canteen to grab some food. UTP do equipped with internet (Wireless or LAN) at most hostels, class, library, cafes and etc. Its up time is 24/7 unless there is maintenance. Its not fast for download, torrent, video streaming, its just good enough for normal web browsing.

Try Skype in the morning after 3am, that time the network is fastest because less people use.

I would say facilities of EE in UTP is fine. Most of the basic EE stuff are provided here. However once you enter 3rd or 4th year, you will be majoring in specific major either communication, control instrument, microprocessor, embedded, and power. During this 3rd and 4th year you will realise that the equipment are not sufficient or up to date. How do I know? I am EE student here, cool2.gif biggrin.gif

From what I hear, the best facilities in UTP is Chemical. Others engineering facilities is sufficient.

Nottingham vs Monash vs UTP. This is like UK ed vs Aus ed vs Malaysia ed, LOL. Ill just state briefly what I feel about these 3 Universities.

From what I know, Nottingham provide 3 years Bachelor for Engineering but its not BEM accredited because of the duration of studies. If you want to become professional engineering (BEM), you have to extend another 1 year of study there and get Master in Eng. So you can obtain master at young age.

Monash education most likely the same as UTP, 4 years of Bachelor Degree. Few times prof, and lecturers from Monash came to UTP giving adjunct lecture here.

While UTP, we have the best industrial connections especially OnG companies like Hallirbuton, Shell, Schlumberger, and etc. This probably because of PETRONAS connections with the other OnG company in Malaysia. Intel also always come to UTP looking fresh grades.

For me, if you want to work as professional Engineer after you grade, you should go to UTP. But if you want to further your studies to take PHD and becoming Dr, go for Nottingham or Monash, its faster and easier for you to further studies overseas.

you seem lucky to have a lot of option to further your studies..
but i think very hard for anyone to compare two institution unless you have been to both of them..
as stated earlier.. the advantage of utp is their connection with oil and gas industries (if you are interested to join the ong workforce)

1. Yes MAS will last about a week, might be less than that.
2. The activity will not be extreme, just simple introduction of University, leadership program, childish games, and drama.
3. You can bring your laptop, but it will probably be seated in your locker for the whole week, unless you have the strength to online every night after MAS end.
4. Yes, maximum of 2 students in a room. You may find your desired roommate on the registration day.

It might be a problem when you start doing 3rd and 4th year lab work and also final year project. Technology nowadays grows too fast, especially EE. Usually university cant cope with it. But as I said earlier, for basic learning its there. It does not matter if we have advance machine but we cant master basic , right?

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 laugh.gif 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 rclxms.gif 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 rclxub.gif 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. sad.gif

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

what?? 5 creds? rclxub.gif 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 nod.gif

Yea 5 credits. But though competition. During the interviews, most of them have straights As (and A+). I believe they have became more lenient since the May 12' intake.

I love to say that if you really want to study and score, UTP is the place, cause we technically live in a JUNGLE though there is currently a cinema in the making nearby. Ipoh is the nearest place for entertainment.

And yeah! I gotta to agree that there are awesome lecturers there with equal amount of pain in the back ones as well.

What do you mean by fun? The subjects are relatively easier compared to other engineering courses but still can make you have a hard time.

About the job prospects, I'm not sure myself. Most of them work with PETRONAS or international oil companies.

Yea. I'm am. The classes start midway through the orientation. They are lenient in changing courses but not all who apply manage to get changed.

Hope to see you there. And good luck.

Hey guys, need help. Anyone facing the same situation like me? My application got reserved and given option to appeal ( I appealed ), what does reserved mean? Is it confirmed a place in utp? I have to confirm because my another uni intake is very close.

It means you didn't get a place at UTP,if you appeal then UTP will reconsider you when those who got accepted have reject the offers.

No wonder. It is the most popular course in UTP. Hopefully someone will reject the offer and you'll get in.

Race percentage - pretty much balanced. I can't say how much percentage for sure.
Entertainment - There is McD, they are opening a cinema. I think for entertainment almost everyone there goes to Ipoh especially Jusco Station 18.
Ipoh to/from UTP - 1/2 hour +/-

Hello Seniors and everyone ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I got in!! YEAY!
I'm waiting for JPA Engineering results. If I don't get it , I will continue in UTP..If I do get it , I will drop UTP but in the meantime I will pay the fees and wait ^^

Can't wait to meet the seniors and my interviewer hahaha...En Azman if I'm not mistaken ^^

btw, is PTPTN , MARA & JPA the only sponsorship available for private candidates?

No, I'm not Malay. Err, I was in your shoes but I accepted UTP. Cause for IPTA I was aiming for Diploma in Aeronautical Engineering in UTM - which seem to be way out of my league. In the end , it is your choice. I made my choice, and I found it worth it.

I studied Foundation using PTPTN, then using my Foundation results I got JPA for Degree. smile.gif

Nope, tons of other really. I have friends with scholarships from I-don't-know-where-and who. I know that PETRONAS, SHELL and petroleum based companies give scholarships to UTP students.

Btw, do u think I ought to bring my own broadband to UTP? or the wifi around the campus is already sufficient?

Thibs, need your advise.
You mentioned you used PTPTN for foundation. So, when can you apply for it? Immediately after you start your foundation? Meaning, we pay the registration fees only?
And as for the JPA sholar, what sort of result in Foundation expected?

Thanking you in advance for the advises.
