you would have chosen to enter ipta after spm for a diploma course if you had known?...

that question is to the ts...

few non bumi students choose to go to ipta after spm, as their choices are limited....they cannot do asasi...

yes..never heard of this way b4...
using this way can get degree in ipta easily ?

what is asasi?why few ppl go,i thought this is a good option?

not really,if before a level-yes

it is NOT a degree...please don't mislead...

you don't even know what you want to do now, you are thinking about diploma?....

diploma is for people who knows what they want to do, and is usually a 3 years course after spm....you can work after....of you can then go into a top up programme to continue to a degree in the same field, usually another 2-3 years...

you cannot enter a degree with spm...you need a period of further studies, generally called pre-u....unfortunately in msia, there are multiple pre-u pathways....

stpm, matrik, asasi/foundation, a levels, sam/ausmat, canadian pre-u etc are all pre-u programmes, which allows one to enter a degree programme at uni...

ipta ONLY accept gov pre-u, ie asasi, matrik, stpm....preference in that order....only apex unis usm and um will take in a levels students....

therefore doing a levels basically cuts you off from ipta...

no...finish asasi means you have the potential opportunity to enter a degree programme, that's all...no different from finishing matrik, stpm, a levels...

yes, it's a preparation for a degree programme in uni, but not everybody will qualify....and in any case, ts, whom i believe is a non bumi, is NOT eligible to enter asasi anyway, so no point talking about it.....

so the upu is not applicable for me?this make me felt better

you cannot apply for asasi (which is like the matrik)....but you can apply to enter a diploma course...that is if you know what you want to do to begin with...

yup,I only realise after a-level...felt much better now

Nottingham and monash is okay. Just that the fees are quite expensive. If u can afford it, then why not.

I compare with other ipts like imu or ucsi ,the price is identical.
Is it because they got some extra charge ?

This statement I do not agree.

I don't have a university to graduate from. All I have is a professional qualifications much earlier in my life and so far, was never turned away from a job offer.

So, nobody cares if you come from ABC as long as you are capable to perform up to standards.


6 months was last batch.

This year's batch can expect from 9~12 months.

Next few years? Heard it's no longer automatic. Need to go for interviews and select random few out of the big group.

Hey bro, still around giving free "lectures" for people who don't use Google around here?

The waiting list is a serious problem, just like the situation with the medical grads now. Sigh.

How much can your family afford to spend per year?

My mother's salary is like 5k per month ....my sis studies medicine in imu ....my brother studies in secondary school ...
But I got two relatives willing to loan me for degree.
I know I am a burden for my family haha.should have study for my spm last time .
