Hi there fellow LYNet forumers!
I am applying to PTPTN to get my loan converted into scholarship, once I get all the required documents ready.
And as the topic suggests, I need learned advice from you guys on the procedures. Also, how long will the applicants have to wait for the "good news"?
According to the PTPTN website, "...pelajar Ijazah Sarjana Muda yang memperolehi Kepujian Kelas Pertama atau setaraf layak dipertimbangkan pemberian insentif penukaran pembiayaan pendidikan kepada biasiswa..." I am quite skeptical about "layak dipertimbangkan". Means even if you are a first class honours student, you are not guaranteed a full conversion? Folks, please clarify.
Thanking you guys in advance.

Those experienced guys please clarify on the LAYAK DIPERTIMBANGKAN phrase.
What does it mean?? What are the qualifications required besides obtaining a First Class Honours? CGPA? >=3.67 or even higher???

I think so, but sometimes 3.33 is already considered 1st class by the univerysity, how about PTPTN?? Maybe they need you to be 3.5 above or something else, I am not sure.

They have different pointer with different course. Ex: University has given 1st class to a student with pointer 3.5, but PTPTN needs 3.75 to be considered as 1st class. Correct me if I am wrong.

One question, is PTPTN an educational organisation like universities? I personally don't think that they are 'qualified' to judge what is the pointer for first class honours. And they cannot just set a figure and applies that to every university in the country. Among all the 21 public universities in Malaysia, their standards differ from each other. Make sense?

If PTPTN sets CPGA > 3.75 as first class, then what's the point of requesting the applicants to submit a "Surat Pengesahan Kelas Pertama (jika tiada perkataan Kelas Pertama tercatat pada Ijazah)" to them? They might as well state clearly that exemption is only applicable to those who scored a CGPA of > 3.75. Right?

If PTPTN is so sure that >3.75 is classified as first class honours, why do they still need the surat pengesahan? This is unfair to universities which are still implementing the .67 grading system. Most universities now no longer use this system. The new .75 system is being used instead. This explains why 3.75 is the minimum first class pointer.

Come to think of it, it does sound silly if the university and PTPTN have their own version of first class.
Imagine this, a university student graduated with first class honours, but when it comes to PTPTN, he is not a first class student. As if PTPTN is the governing body which determines what a first class should be.

PTPTN has no right to recognize one reserve for the 1st class.
This should be done by the particular unis and PTPTN should just follow the decision of the unis.

No idea my friend. Everytime he call ptptn, they keep telling him anda tidak dapat tawaran biasiswa without giving any solid reason. I dont know how true is this penukaran. So far, no one that i know receives it. IMO, they got other syarat2 and also limitation. Maybe quota? who knows.

Uniten. As I suspected... Private university. Is the course recognised/accreditated by LAN and MQA? If it is, your senior need to submit a copy of the certificate of recognition from MQA together with his/her application. Otherwise, his application will not be considered, i.e. will be rejected.

Layak dipertimbangkan means no guarantee they will convert the loan to scholarship. Like others have said, every uni has different range of CGPA to be considered as 1st class student. As long as your uni acknowledges you're 1st class student, there's a chance you get the exemption.
