Hi all, im a graduate from segi college kuala lumpur who applied for ptptn first class waiver. Despite going to college to deal with all those personnel and submit the form are hassle, i still think that is worth doing to convert the loan into scholarship.

Out of no where, i have received the shittest reply from PTPTN stated that my application tak layak and tidak akan diprocess, the reason being My result is not first class.

WHAT NONSENSE is this? i have submitted all the required document and further request from the college to convert my grading into cgpa. It took me months to wait for the conversion. BTW, my cgpa was 3.9 after conversion. NOW,PTPTN sent me a letter saying those shit.

Moreover ,My document are certify by the college registar cop and signature. The transcript and certificate have clearly stated that i have granted FIRST CLASS HONOUR. I begin to question did they really check on my document and came into this conclusion.

Is there anyone out there who face the same problem as me? Kindly advice pls. TQ

what u mean convert grading took month to cgpa? u can know the result on transcript

Due to college inefficiency, they took months to convert my grading to CGPA.

maybe they have a new ruling

i know someone facing this issue. same batch mate, same first class honours, same race, but 2 of them get, the person i know didn't get it. now appealing dunno how liao

???

Convert to CGPA?

What grading system do your college use? ... and what program did you do?

Gov running out of money....

dafuq, pay for school la

I have heard that PTPTN is now retracting / not offering loan-to-scholarship conversions for graduates of critical courses, such as medicine, dentistry and pharmacy. Can someone please verify how true is this claim?

like i said, the gov is running out of money....

but ts has a valid grouse here...until they officially change the policy, the existing rules hold, and any graduate with a 1st class honours is entitled to have the loan converted into a scholarship...so i would pursue this further, by appealing, talking to politicians, the press....

as for critical courses, they do not normally award honours, so unlike many other courses, there is no 1st class honours for medicine and dentistry...so this issue doesn't arise....

Can I know what program is it? Degree?

*Why your course still need conversion from grding to cgpa? Isnt it automatically calculated every semester?

Did your course qualify to this criteria?
- No sem extension. (finished on time as stated in your ptptn agreement)
- Your course in Segi certified by MQA?

Why dont you just go to PTPTN HQ and ask them directly about this..

Hi, zstan. May I know is Ur friend studied at segi kl?

Hi, I took degree in accounting and finance. My university uses UK grading system whereby they only show Ur marks and grades, but in order to apply for the loan waive I need to convert my marks into cgpa.

Yea, that's true.

Ucsi

Does FULL mark is 5.0?

Hi, I took degree in accounting and finance. My course are recognised by mqa. I have to ask for cgpa conversion because my university is using UK grading system wherevy they only show u the marks and grades. I have completed the course within the timeframe but segi extended it to 3.5 years instead of 3 years which have a little time difference from the agreement. But, now the reason they used to reject me is not because of the timeframe which is Abit confusing.

Oo I see. Thx for the reply.

Nope, full marks is 4.0

I think its better for you to go directly to PTPTN HQ. Discuss with the officials there, a.s.ap before 12 month limit after graduation. Hope that they can fix this. Goodluck for you.

Thanks for Ur advice.

Yes. Crisis.

Good luck TS....

Thx a lot.

why dont u visit ptptn and try to find out whats wrong with it? i converted mine, not much hassle.

Congrat to u....someone in the thread suggest the same
go for a site visit should be fun

do you know how much money govt crooks have to fork out to give you scholarship?

what benefit they get giving you scholarship?
none

Ya I will try to appeal. The thing is they don't recognise my first class degree but the course has been certified by mqa.

Dealing with small potato won't help.

If I'm not mistaken, PTPTN now has a new policy that should your annual household income exceeds RM36k+, you are not allowed for PTPTN.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

/discuss

No, if Ur parents are br1m holder, u are entitled for full loan whereas other student will either get 75% or 50% loan. U may refer to Ur college for further details.

Same happened to me. I went straight to HQ and got it sorted there.

maybe it got to do with your grading system, just walk in and talk to them personally.

Really?o.0 mine exceed 200k but I'm still able to get ptptn,although it's just 8k

So, does Ur application success ? Wad did they told u?

Deal with a big potato then.

MCA Wee Ka Siong can help on this. MCA can do little things.

go to their office to talk to them.....

u will get more out of them that way

small potatoes have a very limited ability to make decisions. They can only function within a pre-defined parameters. Most are completely oblivious to the fact that some cases are out of definition that requires a little creativity and thinking out of the box.

So what happens usually is they force these unusual cases into the predefined framework and as a result, a lot of negative outcome.

As suggested by friends here, i recommend going to ptptn hq and talk to the big potatoes thrmselves.

Use this as your last resort, go find those parties like MCA or DAP to sort it out for you and they might also hold a press conference for you.

it is sad, and a reflection on the way this country is heading, that something as straight forward as this may need political intervention...

They told me because they do not accept some of the first class honors by certain university. In my case, they have rejected some of the first class honours students from my university because they get first class honours without getting enough CGPA. My university do grant first class honours for people who score well in final year project with lower than 3.7. But that is not qualified for exemption. In my case my CGPA is more than enough.

There has been report revealing that some money making IPTS relax marking standard to attract new student and boost student count which put PTPTN into a difficult position. It is also argued that it would be unfair for IPTA students. But the name of universities involved has never been published.

this one i also heard from my lecturer. she told that if u want her help in grading, pls went to IPtS.

i was waiting for this issue to be brought up....

i would seem to me, right from the beginning, when ptptn came out with the policy of converting a loan into a scholarship with awards of a 1st class honours, that it is expected that the issue of what is a 1st class honour will arise...and that with the money based ipts system, abuse of this is inevitable.... lol

I have a degree from Australia Uni, hence no CGPA as well. Only in marks and grades. I studied all 3 years in a local uni and they certified that my CGPA is 4.0.
However, the case has been in discussion the whole time and they keep telling me to wait. Because they say that CGPA conversion needs to come from the Australia uni, which doesnt make sense, Aussie uni dont have such policy that helps you convert. Furthermore, all my studies I did it in the local uni. I tried, Aussie side refuse to help...
I know seniors back then managed to convert using local uni confirmation. But now PTPTN tell me they changed rules.

Suddenly last month, I receive the letter from them to ask me to pay back.

Now, I re-contacted the pegawai and they say my case pass to other ppl but refuse to tell me who is it so I can't call directly. I'm from Penang and already working. May I know if I go straight to HQ, will I be able to settle in a day or I need to go back and forth etc?

What other suggestions you guys have.. please help
OP, please update your status..

the australian system uses a 7 point cgpa....normally a 'distinction' is given for cgpa above 5.8 and high distinction above 6.4....there is no '1st class honours' as the honours is a postgraduate year students get invited to do by the uni.....

as can be seen, this is pose considerable problems to ptptn to decide who can get a conversion...another predictable problem...

Australian system usually dont have honor only general degree unless u take an extra year to do research or else PTPTN can opt not to waive your loan

Sometime back, I saw in the papers the results published for an Accounting course in one IPTS. There were about 40 graduates with 22 getting first class and the rest second upper and second lower.

My first impression was this was a new marketing technique but sadly disgusting.

My take is that PTPTN is a very good platform to assist deserving students but lack financial resources to pursue higher education.

This is one of the gems created by our BN gomen.

you are mistaken.....it is a scam actually....

Scam or no scam, many students will not be able to obtain a degree without ptptn. Yes, vested interests and cronies benefited from it. Yes, I can live with it.

yes....but why do you think students cannot get education without borrowing money?...

the people are scammed without realising...of all the scandals and misuse of taxpayer's money, this is the most subtle...

1mdb is obvious.....this most people do not see....

Who said 1mdb is obvious? The cabinet does not think so!

does it mean that for sure I will not be able to get it?
even if my local uni helps me confirm that my conversion can be equivalent to first class/cgpa 4.0?

cgpa out of how many points?....

It really depends on the PTPTN side to decide to waive or not to waive your loan.. Especially when now government is lack of $$, your chance is very slim... Have to check with MQA ur course izzit registered with Hons, if not then good luck

my course is MQA registered. I even got the cert all printed and certified. I plan to go to HQ tomorrow. Those that went to HQ before, do you have to do appointment or how does it work over there?..

you have not replied my question: your 4.0 is out of how many points?....4 or 7?

Erm, sorry to interrupt, Im new in this forum. Can i asked does this ptptn waiver applies for ipts outside malaysia?

If im having Jpa Loan now, is it possible to convert it to Jpa scholar?

ptptn loans are only for ipts withing msia....

JPA is JPA, PTPTN is PTPTN. Two very different things. Rules for one cannot be applied to the other.

check your ptptn offer letter. does it state anything about converting loan to scholarship. if it does u could appeal for it. but if its already stated no loan conversion, most likely u cant convert it

Yes I know ptptn is only for ipta/s in Malaysia . I'm just wondering for jpa. Hehe

Any number or email to check PTPTN Exemption status? I have submitted mine on 5th December 2015 and now thinking on how to check the status. Please advice. Thanks.

PTPTN staff is damn lazy

You can call their hotline 03 2080 4455. Better call early in the morning after they are opened.
The extension is 4, 1, icnumber + #, 0


I apply for the waiver on 13 Oct 2015 and received letter from PTPTN on 12 Jan 2016 stating my application is successful. Took them 3 months to process.

Can anybody help me? My ptptn got rejected because they said TARIKH MULA KURSUS BESAR DARI TARIKH PROSES. What should i do?

Besar dari tarikh proses?

What besar do they mean?

I am assuming that they mean the date of enrollment is after the date of application.

If this is the case, better check your dates bro.

nego with them asap!

I have applied on Dec 2015.. until now still no news.. that means i have to wait till March???

is it possible that they view first class honours from different universities differently??

They will mail you back a letter stating your application is accepted/declined.
Just wait for it.

I got mine also almost like 3 months after I sent them the letter

so u got yourself a waiver?

Do any experts know what education loan(s) can I apply in Malaysia if I were to study at a prominent University overseas which is ranked in the top 50 internationally according to TIMES Higher Education World University Rankings?

One question did not pay the PTPTN during the 3 month waiting period right? What if they ask you pay while you are waiting for them to approve the first class exemption?

consult a lawyer and seek advise if you can have a good claim.

i cannot find the actual citation at the moment however.

Hi, can I know how you convert your results to cgpa? And did you managed to waive your ptptn loan?
