I get the admission into UTP under private(self paying) with Foundation of Civil Eng. Can anyone tell me the fees for foundation and 4 years degree?
And should i accept the admission? as i am waiting for the upu (ipta) too. I scare if i accept it then i get the ipta one...but then if i not accept it and i also scare i dont get ipta..that time i have no place to go..

Hope to see you in UTP. Btw, you can apply for PTPTN. Most of the private students are under loan.

thank you so much....btw i want to ask about the percentage of the races of students? its not that i am racist==..just want more informations......and will there be any entertaiment around that area? it takes how long to reach ipoh from the UTP?

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 +/-
*
haha so are you a Malay?^^...hmmm i need a cinema quite much...ermm the ipta can only be checked on 21st May if not mistaken but the UTP admission wants my reply latest on 8th May..so whats your advice? should i accept UTP or wait for ipta? my family is not that rich to afford me to UTP though i know i could take ptptn...

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?

You dont want to wait for ipta?

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.

See you soon. smile.gif

so what race you are?...mmmm So if i score my foundation well i can surely get jpa sponsor for my degree?

Nope....In my opinion, Better enter UTP than IPTA  brows.gif 
LOL.. sweat.gif  I thought Petronas doesn't give anymore? Only those who got the EduStar Camp are eligible in getting it  cry.gif 
Btw, do u think I ought to bring my own broadband to UTP? or the wifi around the campus is already sufficient?

UTM is ipta...you dont think of that University? it's quite good

Really? Hahaha. I'm not sure bout that Petronas then. Err, WiFi around the campus ok lar, but see if you really need it or not cause sometimes really need to use broadband cause the internet sucks. Ask your seniors for internet hotspots, certain place in UTP got damn fast Wifi internet.

My say, bring broadband.. after 1 month of using UTP internet.
During your orientation week, the people there will guide all the private students (unless you don't want it) to apply for PTPTN. Yea, you pay the registration fee only.
Err, for JPA, 3.5 and above I suppose.
Hahaha! Lets keep that a secret shall we. Not necessary if you score, you'll get JPA sponsor. To be honest, I don't even know how JPA shortlist those who will get scholarship.
*
so what was your result for foundation? and that time u applied jpa, did u need to interview or something? or u just straightly success to get jpa after applying?

and one more thing...i heard my friend says that if get a result of cgpa below of 3.0 then u will be kicked out..is it true?

Well,I've set my eyes on UTP & JPA only and I am not into ipta actually. Besides, most probably after a year of foundation , I'll take up a Scholarship to pursue degree in Australia.
Is UTM your first choice in ipta?
JPA Engineering offer's 4 countries. This is only for Engineering related.

Korea , Japan , France & German.
and yes, you apply after SPM Results...usually 1 week after exam already start applying and the duration of applying is not more than 1 week usually.  smile.gif

Oh and you have to learn the foreign language (either one of the country) since it is not a English-based country
Aha~ Thanks for the advice ! thumbup.gif

yea UTM is my first choice in ipta..but hard to get into UTM TT....

Some say 350 some say up to 500... but I survived with 200. So it is really up to how you manage your expenses. But for freshies bring 500 just in case.

wow really 200? including money given by jpa or what?.......gotcha !!!know you hav a gf there haha rclxms.gif .......can i hav your fb name? haha brows.gif .............haih really hope can study at UTP but money is a problem for me sad.gif

All done by them, since your a freshman and a girl, probably V2 or V3. My bet is on V2.

Just go with the flow. smile.gif

EDIT: Tip, hostel no WiFi. So bring LAN cable and multi-plug extension cords.

LOL== hostel has no wifi???? bring LAN cable to coonect to where?

what is V2? V3?....and one more...how much is the limit of CGPA to achieve the first class honour?

WiFi has been problematic (seriously, if you get V6, bring broadband).
Hostel from V1 to V have LAN ports in the room. 2 ports, one for each student living in the room.
The rest of the Campus has WiFi, so don't worry.

V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6 <- Hostels

V6 - Male only Hostel (freshman)
V2C - Start of the Female only Hostel Blocks.
V1 & V2 - normally for freshman
V3, V4 & V5 - normally for seniors

3.75 for First Class Honours. (It fluctuates at times)

ok ...i heard ppl say we can apply for yayasan utp right? after foundation only can apply?

(1) You sounded like asking what is the easiest medical degree to earn. Traditionally, the phrase “easy to earn” tend to be associated with “half-hearted” impression. Seriously, do you want a half-hearted doctor tend to your health care? If you are asking which engineering degree is the easiest to earn, then probably you aren't ready for an engineering degree. None of them are really easy to earn.

(2) Engineering degree is a problem-solving intensive, maths intensive, time intensive, and detail-oriented field, where they don't allow for mistakes or “half-baked” work. These people are meticulous because they have to be. They don't accept second best on any job.

(3) It is not difficult solve one- or two-dimensional problems. But things are getting more complicated in multivariate problems. Similarly, managing engineering project successfully is both an art and a science and attempts to control and optimize corporate resources within the constraints of time, cost, and performance.

(4) Take Tensor Calculus in Structural Mechanics (Civil Engineering) for example, even Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955) had learned about the language of tensors with great difficulty, which he used to formulate General Relativity. To summarize, the word “Easyisn't in the engineer's vocabulary. icon_idea.gif

just simply ask, take it easy man, hmmm great answer for me. haha ...btw i believe it's not hard in anything if we possess a great passion towards the thing we do

It is a good mindset to begin with. Proceed with your Foundation in Civil Engineering. However, navigating academic life by yourself is not a good idea. Therefore, you must get to know your academic adviser. Contact your adviser whenever you have any questions about your academic life. Your adviser has important information about your course requirements that can help you realize your plans. Advisers can explain why certain courses are required and can identify instructors who will offer the right level of challenge. Confer with your adviser regularly.

Rest assured that Civil Engineering is a manageable undergraduate course. At least, it deals with something tangible where you can see and touch. Mechanics is the oldest and the most highly developed branch of physics. As an important foundation of Civil and Mechanical engineering, its relevance continues to increase as its range of application grows. With your great passion, you will master all the basic concepts and principles of mechanics in this three-volume textbook. icon_rolleyes.gif

Nah, I don't think it is because of you being an undergrad applicant. Maybe, too many people on the same day. Possible that they split the registration days.

so in conclusion , study in utp will like everyday study study and study? compare to utar
