I am a year 3 Mechanical engineering student at UTAR
My university is no longer willing to entertain me as a student.
I don't know what to do...feels like life is doomed, and my family doesn't have the
financial status to support me again, and my parent are too old to deal with my shit again.

Get a Job.

What did you do that cause you kick out?

Fail too many time? Met the president d?

UTAR and u got kicked out?

why?

Yea. i met the President already and warned me that i will get terminated if i fail again.
what option do i have now, if i want to continue my study without my family support what should i do? i got kick out which mean i am already 3 years behind of other ppl which are same age with me.

it might be a blessing in disguise...you can be the next bill gates

change course

You mean already met the president in previous sem?
There is no more chance if you are terminated again.

Good luck.

which subject?

reason of your failure in exam?

well, i failed my last semester paper.

I am actually kinda confidence on my last semester paper that i will be able to pass.
but still the fact is i still failed that paper.

maybe studying is really not your forte since you say you failed several times

getting kicked out is probably good for you, think about that

If you kept failing, it means that you are not up for it. You can change course, change college or go to work.

If you change course, you can see any other relevant courses because they offer the same subject in which you can skip their first and/or second year and continue on based on certain negotiation.

Or if you are changing to a different course of different industry entirely, start from scratch and take time to do it all over again. This time, work hard.

Get a job now, stop wasting time and get your ass up to the society. You can work first and continue study later.

If you are no more interested in your studies, go get a job. Honeymoon is over for you. No excuses for failling so many times.

I think you better get a job and do part time study.

Get a job and start saving. No point to continue if you fail several times.

stop ranting here and decide what u want to do in life.

U can feel bad or sad for urself, but dun let urself be in this state for too long. After a few days, let it sink in. Then think about it, why u keep failing, is it because of ur effort? Or is it u dun have the motivation anymore? Or u just don't like to study?

If u know it is because u did not put enough effort in it, then start putting more effort in it. Shut urself down from social media 1 month before exam, study 2-3 hours per day, do more exercise.

if u dun have the motivation anymore, take a break, go to a trip with ur family or friends, let ur feelings out to ur best friend. Seek for advice, take a break. Start a fresh.

If u don't like to study, then stop studying, quit uni and start looking for word.

There is always a reason for everything.

Success cannot be quantified. So even if u got kicked out of uni, don't lose hope and give up. Rmb when 1 door closes on you, 2 more doors open up for you.

Good luck!

2 options, go get a job or if you really want to study, go into a diff course, dont waste your time in mechanical.

UTAR? good la...

the best option is McD

don't waste your time, get a job, think positively

eh? this thread got..... "filtered"? used to be more than this....

anyway. you should stop whining. man up and complete the studies or get a job. whether you can succeed in either really depend on you but seriously... 3x fail? i think you may know ur own answer

i wont bother to check on this thread anymore since my prev post on it is gone.

TLDR: make your own decision

what u mean got "filtered"

and what did u post previously. mind sharing it

Try to ask for one year break due to financial reason. Get a job to know yourself better and earn tuition fee first.

The bright side of this episode is UTAR maintained some standards, if the student performance is poor, out he goes.

If UTAR kept you,then UTAR standards really dropped.

Good luck to you anyway.

UTAR then become ULAR....LOL...

TS: You should take the advice here....
1) Why did you failed? Didn't put in effort ? Then put in Effort.
2) Put in effort, still failed - then you are not fit for this....switch course. Will be painful, but no choice.
3) Go work, earn some money and study part time for different course.

be more positive like those big big ceo out there.
they got kick out from U also and they success like god

Since you said that your parents is not able to support you anymore, might as well quit the study and do other stuff. IMHO you clearly choose the wrong course if you don't like to study as engineering needs to study a lot, especially Mechanical

Choose another U n continue with study to obtain basic knowledge

Drop out from UTAR and start working. You will surely be terminated if you fail another time since you see the president already.

Think it's really hard to get terminated by UTAR. You don't have the aptitude for studies. Take up a vocational course. Think some will pay you apprenticeship fees while you learn the trade.

Studies is not for everyone, and shouldn't be seen as the be all and end all. Think that's the sad thing in our current education system. Should encourage vocational studies.

+100

Forcing yourself to study something you can't handle, might as well just stop now. Like what others suggested, go work, ponder on what you want, save money then go back study again.

Perhaps Critical_Fallacy can shed some light on this

You're contradicting yourself here.

Quit your study and find a job.
Start preparing a resume and apply the job at jobstreet website. I won't waste my time anymore if I were you.

Have you ever thought whether you are really studying what you wanted?

If you keep on failing, it might do you well to consider a course switch.

I failed my accountancy papers countless times......then I switch to IT and end up ok. Even continued until masters. Think about it

don't misleading others, those big companies ceo decide to withdraw their study for business not kick out by university.

Yeah try to quit this type of fake hope BS.

That era is over. Present CEOs are more academically qualified than most of our ministers. Success stories of drop outs founding Microsoft/FB often forget that those are drop-outs, not kick-outs - i.e. they were so far ahead of the curve that staying in Uni was a waste of their talents. Oh and they got admitted into Harvard in the first place, not UTAR.

hi bro, i randomly stumbled upon this thread while finding for some news, so are you doing good now, it has been 7 years.

Fail too many times is a sign the course is not suitable for u

I know a friend who failed accounting degree, every subject failed for 1st year.

then he switched to Marketing degree, he is ok

years later he is a director at a MNC co

TS last login was Jan 16 2016...

Why necro?

Get a job first then move on from there.

Is not end of the day ya. Please think positive!. Maybe look for courses that can improve your skills.

I think TS has long moved on….

No worry, come work for me...

Pm tepi

change to an easier course?

which subjects you have failed so many times?
Perhaps you want to re-examine whether your studies technique is right. Right here is in context of your self.
Look at things objectively like what is expected of your course.
Explore diff techniques that most suits you (peer discussion, self study, rote learning, mind maps, etc)
Failure is not the end. Giving up is.

lol

Failure isn’t the end of the road… who knows, he may have turned out to be some big boss of some start up company….

Totally.
Perhaps I can post my CV to TS

I had only failed circuit theory in first sem, aced it in my second attempt

It’s really just time constraint

If I had 8 years to study I would ace all
