Technically, you can't. What people usually do is quit the current course and reapply to the new place. This can take up to a year because you need to wait for the applications to open again.

the system will flag him. that's why he needs to quit first, then apply. u cant suka2 apply and deprive others from acquiring a place . mentang2lah u dah dapat .

it's pretty hard to switch universities, even with the same course. despite being public universities, each IPTA are separate independent body who has its own autonomy. it's not like 2ndary schools or polytechnics, where they are all governed by the education ministry.

it is actually much easier to switch to a different course within the same university, because then u will deal with two deans (from different faculties) within the same university under the same senate body. heck, if u wanna change course within the same faculty is even easier, as the dean has the final say and do not need to go up to the senate level.

U are arguing about the selection process, not the education system. So please dont lump everything together and generalize.

The selection process has a high degree of chance due to the higher number of applicants than there are places. The reason why top students couldnt get a place is not because they are being sidelined by race (well not entirely), but because they are all applying for the same course: MEDICINE being one of the most popular.

U cant just make more schools to accommodate more medicine-prone students. There are quality and standard to uphold. So those top students who are less fortunate will get dropped from their 1st choice. The system will look at the 2nd choice. 3rd and so on.

But guess what? Most students put MEDICINE for all of their choices, severely putting them at a disadvantage.

Ive handled intakes for over 12 years now. There are ways to increase your chances of getting the course u want. There are plenty of blogs out there that publish trends and grade average of university intakes every year. Just learn the trend, and go against it.

Meaning if people are always applying to USM medicine, dont bother applying there. If the trend ossicilates between years, then look if the trend was higher last year, and apply that this year.

Use those statistics subjects u learn in school to good use.
