It also depend on how many credit hours left in your new semester. It is possible to raise the CGPA if you scored all As

well, you can always point out your strong points in scoring the papers in one try by bringing along the transcript to interview.

I myself not a scorer. but i got clean sheet of no fails and drops, and even finish my engineering course early/on time even with re-sit 2 paper to raise my cgpa (but cant do much )
*oh, manage to finish a 10-semester course in 9 semesters too

CGPA 3.65 -3.7499 : 50 % tuition fee waiver for Advanced Diploma
CGPA 3.75-6.8499 : 75%
Above 3.85 : 100%

But, I heard that the requirement will be higher later bcuse some courses there is more than 25% of students are scholarship holder.(GPA >3.65)

Anyway, u still can get a good GPA la, up to 3.70, & I assumed you are in final semester of Year 1 Diploma.
But, u can't get more than 1 B in the following 3 semesters.
Try to get CGPA 3.50 to get a distinction, make ur parents proud !! I think u can do it.

Calculate CGPA :
Example,

Math 3 credit hours * A (4 point) = 12
English 3 credit hours *B (3 point) =9
Basic Electronic 5 credit hours *A =20
Statistic 4 credit hours * B =12
Physics 4 credit hours *A =16
Total 69



CGPA : Total marks/ accumulated credit hours =69/19
=GPA 3.6316

I hope thats help to guide how many As u should get in the following sem to get a scholarship



U r from TARC?? I don't know TARC can graduate early.

Hey Irresistible, what's your CGPA? As i know, to get scholarship in UTAR, CGPA 3.9 & above can get full waiver of fees. Sometimes, student don't work hard but want to envy on other student's good achievement. If students can attend every lecture, finish up tutorials given(no copy), ask questions whenever in doubt(if not u will be lost) and do their revision every week(no last minute revision) I believe everybody also can do it.....u want the big share, must sacrifice more....

uhh, no
x-UTM , bachelor degree in Comp. Eng.

*sorry for 'campur tangan' , but juz wanna share my POV

My time is GPA 4.0 to get a scholarship for UTAR. I think I m only one year senior than u...

My CGPA is 3.92 for diploma (2Bs ), but frankly speaking I strongly rely on tips, (Ya, the tips motivate me to study hard, u know la Diploma exam papers come out exactly like tutorial questions, no tips also can score lo)

My Advanced Diploma result, is totally failure, just merely get an BBB result, or even worse result. Fail my ACCA, don't know la... I bcome lazy when I go to KL, too much entertainmnet & demotivate by the quality of lecturers..
My study technique may not work well in higher level, memorizing without thorough understanding that FAIL me. Anyway, my undertstanding ability is not good la even compared to average students.

I think Failure come from people like me that give all sorts of non-sense excuse to be "lazy"!!

If i know I'm not doing in well in that paper, I'll let my lecturer know to give me C- in final exam so can repeat
But I'm lazy person
*I think

thxies!~
now i'm only in my 2nd sem; hopefully i can catch up~

i didnt mean to be evil; but sometimes will group assignments drag u down? i got good marks for individual but super low marks for group assignments;

really dont know wat to do~

dont worry, u just 2nd sem,still 5 sem to go if u are diploma and 3 sem to go if u are advance diploma. but normally most of the students will become more lazy from sem to sem,and 1st sem normally is the most hardworking. -.-

To get the scholarship,just study hard a bit lo, try to understand all the studies and then u sure can manage to score it. try score 3.85 in order to get a full scholarship la. i already regret no study more hardworking in diploma,just get 3.8444 CGPA, 0.01 different make me cant get the full scholarship.

Study hard la. Actually group assignment cant cause u drop so much mark in diploma, because lecturer at least give average mark for assignment. The most important is try score well in exam because exam contribute 80%, ur group assignment just 10% around becoz another participation and test will normally contribute another 10%marks.

Haiz,now last sem of advance diploma already...hope graduate smoothly and try to get a best job la. Cheers!~~

Now, u have no problem la to catch up .... U should try to aim GPA 3.80
or even higher bcause still got chances.
If u are exempted English & b. Malysia in 1st semester, ur chances to get GPA 3.85 full scholarship is still possible by getting straight As in this sem & following sem.
My Advice : Do ur Tutorial !!

Ya, I understand it !! I face the same situation when I study Advanced Diploma bcause my teacher group us according to Surname. I was forced to join the students that I didn't plan to join. Our group assignment is always the lowest, & all the assignment is done by me. My group members didn't help & one of them even tell me :" Your Diploma result so good, why do assignment so low marks ??" (OK, I admit they got pass me some materials but all amended by me or rejected, so in the end they did not wan to help)

When I was Diploma, I always join with all the Top student in my class for assignment. (I didn't much involve also )
So the result

doinkz_gaara, for ur info, Diploma awarding scheme (show by my lecturer in his room) :

A : 70 marks above
B: 56 --69
C: 40-55
D: 35-39 (provided GPA above 2.00 ,if not is a F)
F: Below 40
What couse u r ?? Engineering course is more tough, is already good if can get GPA 3.5 above.

TARC should follow this rewarding System, but NO, TARC work on the opposite way........

im in mass communication: advertising..

muz be more hardworking this sem!

Wah....CGPA 3.92
U thk u r from TARC Penang branch right? As i know, Penang branch always produce top students without fail and all of them are really good with scholarships...no kidding.....I, myself from KL branch can notice that....
Yes, when comes to Adv Dip, many ppl flop bcoz of the pressure to study.....
My advice for ppl who want to maintain their good results in Adv Diploma:
1) 4get about the past(Diploma) no matter how worse or good is ur grades. U r starting from zero in Adv Diploma, thus need to work extra for the grades....no kidding
2) Chase n run for the lecturers....ask ask ask....dont stop asking......
3) Sleep, eat n relax loh!!!!


The best thing about Adv Dip(for acca is like that, not sure about other course) is that the results will be released annually. So, u dont need to worry about ur scholarship being taken away halfway thru the year, for eg beginning sem 2 of 1st year. U still got the waived fees....U will only know about ur fate at the end of sem 2 each year......

Hey guys!

What if like I need to repeat a subject, then my CGPA will be decreased mendadak right? But then, like the next semester, I score on the subject that I need to repeat, my CGPA will be increased or just naik sikit sahaja?

Increased substantially, From F (fail) to A . Normally, like GPA 1.8 to GPA 2.6 or even more...

I show the detailed calculation already & I use simple example to explain it. Not understand??

Wow, i didn't know if one were to resit they can actually get higher grades. In the college that i am studying as long as u resit it doesn't matter how much u get, for instance, 90 marks they will still give u a D.

So it will be better off not to resit.

if u score, suppose ur CGPA will increase mendadak la..

got a question,we need how many CGPA to take a degree course or enter uni?lets say the diploma CGPA just 2 only can take degree course?

depends on your dip subject..mybe u just carry fwd the sbject so just 2yrs only degree

so that mean as long as the diploma CGPA is 2 or above then its not a problem to take a degree course?
