no problem bro  laugh.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.

hi, is petro geoscience fun? what about the job prospect?
*
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.

hi, it sounds like u r currently studying at utp huh? do u mind answering my questions here? i m waiting for the announcement for may intake which most probably will be released by this friday (crossing fingers right now for getting shortlisted  sweat.gif ) i think i did pretty bad for my interview cry.gif i juz wanna ask will the course start immediately after the orientation week? or we hav to go back to home after orientation and wait for the coarse to be started? if i don get my 1st choice coarse is that hard for me to change coarse after registration?  icon_question.gif  icon_question.gif
*
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.
*
What course did you take? Yea, you have to wait for a week or so to check whether you're in or not.

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

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...
*
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

QUOTE(cutexiah @ May 4 2013, 01:26 AM)
Hello Seniors and everyone ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ 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?
*
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

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?
*
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.

QUOTE(TK512 @ May 4 2013, 01:46 AM)
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.
*
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.

QUOTE(Anonymous99 @ May 4 2013, 01:50 AM)
so what race you are?...mmmm So if i score my foundation well i can surely get jpa sponsor for my degree?
*
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.

anyone have idea about how much monthly enpenses do we need if study at UTP? (usual expenses)

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.

What la you. xD! I'm from Perak, so no need much la. Sometimes my parents make trips to Ipoh, then on the way buy stuff for me. At times, my relatives from Ipoh come down to my place, they buy stuff for me too. Hah! I love my family, we're a close knit. So my finance are well handled.

Even if I don't have enough money or something, I can rely on my friends to loan me money, lots of money at times. biggrin.gif Then, I pay them back la of course.

I live a good life. And, I'm sponsored as well, so no need to burden my family. God Bless.

from what I know, utp doesnt even recognise uniten's foundation. Call utp registra for confirmation.

Hey Mindy, r u a stpm leaver also?
I'm also a stpm leaver and I got chemical engineering from utp as an offer
Would u take the offer? What's results u get for ur stpm?
I'm hesitating whether to accept the offer or not..I got scholarship interview from ntu and I wish to study abroad but my father was not capable of supporting me to study there..he advised me to study at local : utp cause there will be less burden shouldered by him..what should I do? Can anyone gives me some advice over my circumstance?
*
Hi, I would suggest you to take the offer. UTP is recognised by BEM and MOHE. They are in the Washington Accord thus working overseas is not a problem. You can apply PTPTN as well. They will guide you through it. Cheers, and hope to see you there.
