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

sorry for the late reply guys.. its examination week. Just finish exam this afternoon.. ahh~ the nice freedom feeling laugh.gif

hey guys.. im going to register in utp on this becoming sept.. im private student without any scholar. the prob here is.. i heard that all students.. no matter sponsor or private student will go through some interview during our orientation week. is that true? and, if it is.. can u guys gimme some tips on how to handle the interview and the format of interview..

p/s : im nervous and lack of soft skills.
*
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

QUOTE(thierryosman @ Sep 8 2011, 05:23 PM)
i believe utp uses outcome based learning, can anyone explain what is that?
*
i cant explain this sir sweat.gif got to experience it yourself.. sorry as i am also a freshie. Where the heck is the utp seniors anyway doh.gif

Greeting from the Nottingham thread! Nice 1st thread you have there! All the best for the thread!!

Thanks dearest neighbour laugh.gif we wish you the same thing too..

QUOTE(old_and_slow @ Sep 11 2011, 10:19 AM)
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
*
i cant agree more smile.gif welcome to this thread sir.. petronas and utp are like siblings. dont dump us pls cry.gif yeah, theres a rumour bout it. What to do, petronas core is business, they want to maximise profit i believe

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
*
no sir, i meant petronas doesnt want to have this uni anymore. they want to hand over utp to state government.However, as for now it is still a rumour

mind to share the interview format?  smile.gif
*
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 .
*
hmm.gif i also didnt know bout this.. make sure you all report the orientation week here okay =) just for a reference to the newbie next year. seems like the selection system had changed

guyss.. help me.. if in case u experienced this things... i applied utp online application back in july.. then when the day we have to check our result.. they send me an email and sms. so, after checked it.. status there is "successful".. then they said.. i have to accept the offer before 9th sept. and i accept the offer on that time.. means.. after i know that i got a place. i directly press the accept button. but today.. when i open it back.. i mean, the admission portal. the status there is "not successful/KIV"

anyone experienced this? i have send my accept offer letter through fax and all.. things that i havent done yet is just pay the fees.. i planned to pay it at utp during the registration day. is it affect the admission portal things? confused and worry now since i already reject the ipta just because to stdy in utp.. sad.gif

hopefully u guys can help me.. i tried to call utp but since today is a public holiday.. i should wait till monday. and i wanna strt my journey on tuesday. how can i packing my stuffs with this "unconfirmed" situation
*
oh my sad.gif this is confusing bro.. but maybe they have wipe out the database thats why your application was unsuccesful since the record was deleted. I guess the best way to settle this is to give em a call. good luck nod.gif

Added on September 30, 2011, 12:23 am
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

but sure, would be great to have more educated discussion here.

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
