hey,

I just checked all the PDS universities' websites and could not find any information regarding partnership with IMU.

Can someone please enlighten me on this? Are all PDS students GUARANTEED a place in any of the four listed universities? Or are there any specific requirements? It seems kind of one-sided regarding the reliability of this twinning system.

Thanks

the pms/pds pathway is considered a backdoor route, and will NEVER be openly advertised in the respective ms/ds........

if you have registered for a pms/pds programme AND passed all the requisite exams, you are guaranteed a placement.......but you will only know where at the last moment.....and most of the time, will not be your top choice....

however, there is a suspicion that the failure rate is tailored to fit the number of places available for matching......but if you stay off the bottom 20% of the cohort, you should be safe.......

Spacious small room for rent in VISTA KOMANWEL C TOWER, BUKIT JALIL.

Rental: RM550 per month, utilities bills not included, but shared by 5.
Fully furnished, with TV, wifi, refrigerator, washing machine, water filter, sofa, dining table, cooking utensils.
Room equipped with wardrobe, study table, single bed and bed frame, aircon.

Environment is safe (residents with access card only can enter)
Friendly housemates, all IMU chinese students (3 females, 1 male)

FEMALE ONLY. AVAILABLE NOW.
inbox if interested.

while it may be true that students who fail will not receive a place in the partnership program, where will these students end up in? Their local program? It sounds like a strategy to earn more profit this way by IMU.

hi guys
does anyone here knows if I can apply for the february 2012 medicine intake (or is it may/june intake now?) with my SAM semester 1 results and still be able to send in my trial results for the application? i'll get my trial results only in sept this year but i was thinking of beating the crowd.

thanks in advance

you can apply now, and have the interview......but they will only offer very late, usually december, and if they like you, they may give you a provisional offer with a minimum requisite (eg atar 94), or wait for you to submit the final result usually out 1 week before christmas, before the offer......

there is no advantage applying early, and there is no 'crowd'......just choose a convenient date for the interview........

thanks alot. i'll consider applying after trials then.

Fail--->Resit--->pass(proceed)/fail(kick out)/fail borderline(repeat semester)
Even if you've failed in eos 2 3 5 in med or eos 2 4 5 in dental but yet you passed all your resits,
you are guaranteed a place in PMS/PDS.
Only in the most unlikely event that no PMS or PDS would want these students,
they will be given the local option.

Quick question, I was looking over at http://www.imu.edu.my/pro-un-entry.html and reading the requirements for medicine. At the bottom it says;




Does that means I have to get B+ on all of my science subjects in SPM as well?

So for example if I get 3B+ on chem,bio,maths in STPM but I didn't get any credits for my science subjects in SPM, that makes me ineligible to enter the uni?

Yes. I'm sorry for your unfortunate. IMU used to take in students regardless of their performance in SPM and only take in students based on their pre-u results. Right now, no more.

It's due to the new guideline by the government.

http://mmc.gov.my/v1/docs/3%20Minimum%20cr...20programme.pdf

there has been too much abuse, and too many students who clearly should not be pursuing medicine being taken in, as long as they pay the fees.........

even the new rules are NOT strict enough, compared to developed countries.........

SMALL ROOM WANTED.
Vista B or C will do. But only consider those with rental lower than RM400.

Hey guys,

This is a question for those who are already studying in their respective pms universities (basically ex-imu-ians). When applying for visa, what were/was the document that you used to prove that you have completed year 1 and 2 in imu? My convocation will only be held at the end of August. Hence as of now, i have yet to receive my graduation cert. And my course starts in Sept so i will need to apply much earlier than that.

Would i be required to display all my year 1 and 2 transcripts? Or would i need to obtain some sort of a statement from imu to prove that i have cleared everything?

Thanks in adcance!

you should have received an official academic transcript from imu.....you need that for your visa.......if not, contact the imu office........

By 'official academic transcript', do you mean all the exam transcripts that we get after each eos? Or are you talking about something else?

Thanks!

the tests and exams, projects, thesis etc, and their respect grades/marks......it will all be summarised in a official 'letter' format....

hey guys,

lets say the PDS stream is full already but there are places left for locals, and i've gone for the interview( first choice PDS, second local), will they give me the offer for local AND waitlist me for PDS? Or will they wait for PDS offer holders to pull out/didnt meet the requirements ?

They will only give you offer for the local programme....
