I got interview from UKM, but my friends said, UKM is BM oriented, even some of his friend study account using BM to teach.

If UKM is really BM oriented, will be really suffering for me =.="

Any clarification?

I got interview for Fakulti Teknologi dan Sains Maklumat~

Yes BM is more favoured in UKM from what my friends told me.

hi i got the interview from FTSM as well. what course did you applied for?

and do you have any idea what language should we use in the video? bahasa or english?

UKM is more BM oriented than UiTM.

That's because the uni's misi visi is "memartabatkan bahasa melayu".

Absolutely right. UKM favors BM. I had to communicate with my broken BM when I went there. They didn't accept me in the end. That's why I went to UM.

Are you implying that UKM discriminately selects researchers with fluency in BM even though you demonstrated your proficiency in A.I?

Was there a reason you initially chose UKM as your first choice?

Few days ago, azarimy shared something about equal opportunity in public education, but we have to compete for it.

With broken BM, I don't think I am able to explain my proficiency in AI correctly also. Not really about public eduction equality I believe.

Initially I chosen UKM because of the location, and I personally visited UKM before and have researcher friends there. So I thought it will be a bit better because I might be able to get good supervisor for my research easier.

I believe BM proficiency is one of UKM's criteria. One of their task is to translate knowledge into BM and desiminate to public.

Other unis have their own niche area. UTM "discriminates" against not tech/science backgrounds because we are primarily engineering and technology university

Thanks for all reply and the clarification
Hmm, for the video I think I would speak in English because not specifically stated need to speak BM as well.

But I felt kinda frustrated as it is BM oriented >.<
Because in reality all the software, coding stuff its in English ~

This really keeping me from getting into UKM.

Hmm, kumiko_91 chan, I don't feel like its easy to get in UM either. And congratz since you chose your right college

What do you mean by "discriminate" against tech/science backgrounds? >.<

Won't accept Arts student?

Means most of the courses dont even take arts stream students who do not take physics and add maths. Itu kira diskriminasi laa kan? Haha

Lols now I know why I didnt get my interview from UTM, because I'ma Bio student =w=

But seriously? My friend told me now UTM interests in taking those who want to study business? I'm not sure. Yet still hard to get a place in there So much competition

My whole interview session in UM is in English. Even documents were requested to be submitted in English.

Note when i say "most couurses". Most of UTM's courses are engineering biased. Even its Biomedical course is abput biomedical engineering. So if u r applying into engineering heavy courses, then priority will be given to physics and add maths.

However UTM also have a number of business/management and social science courses. these do not emphasize on physics/addmaths.

hmm, actualy I chose computer science, doesnt seems like its base on physics though >.<

So, don't attend the interview?

Well thats hurt but truthfully

I am a UKM graduate, and in Fakulti Teknologi Sains Maklumat, we use ENGLISH

Not all faculty use Bahasa Malaysia, certain faculty use English

pengadil = referee = people whom they could refer to about you.

basically it's just testimonials from teachers, headmaster, employers etc who dont exactly have a vested interest with you (which is why families dont count!). this is usually important as a vetting process to figure out stuffs about you that arent exactly assessed in exams or co-curricular certificates. for example:

leadership skills - only evident in group works or in clubs or activities that challenge one's ability to deliberate jobs etc. it's unlikely that you'll have a cert in leadership. even going to a bunch of leadership camps doesnt mean you possess leadership skills.

entreneurship skills - say you're good in making money out of nothing. of course nobody gives you a cert on this, nor will it be assessed in exams. but your employers would be able to attest to your ability in making money, right?

I see, thanks for clarification

wow..! So are they learning all the technical terms in BM too? dahek.. or just the teaching will be in BM, the stuffs that you read and write are still in English

Mine dont have the pengadil part. lol

Thats the weird part for my interview letter =.="
All of my friend doesn't got third requirements too

Its kinda awkward when teach in BM but the test and project/course itself is in English. =.="

Local lecturers usually will conduct the class in both languages. While for foreign lecturers, how would you expect them to know bahasa?

UM is similar as well. The international students immediately go facepalm when bahasa is being used.

Well, I felt sorry for those international students

Maybe that is why Local uni won't achieve higher rank in the World University Ranking lols. Sorry, not humiliating the Local Uni.

But maybe a change should be made by them. Else nobody will ever like to enter Local Uni anymore =.=" Why not go to private uni >.< As there are much scholarships provided even though there is T&C.

its tough not because of study syllabus.But the life there, you have to face it like a grown up and adult.

but it was best 3 years of life.

I sense smth from yr words, what do you mean "by the life there, you have to face it like a grown up and adult"

Got racist? or being backstab by others lols

Top public uni are still better than private uni, not like that type of you-can-enroll-as-long-as-you-can-pay-the-fee.
Fee is a concern as well.

racist?? no UKM is the best harmony university, portraying how our diversify is our country.
