yeah i'm doing master there. Their postgrad is quite new. a few years old if i'm not mistaken. but the lecturers are good. my supervisor just transferred from UM to IMU.

The only thing i know about this uni is that its one of the unis that all the students who can't afford private colleges/unis will opt for this as their primary choice. All my friends who wants med, who failed to get jpa, all vying for places here.

Erh? Wasn't it 200k plus minus? Thats much better than 500 grand to study in the uk isn't it?

Overseas uni not considered private? Are they considered government then? Or local? Heh xD

Ooooh! Thanks for clearing that for me
So i should use the term "those that can't afford overseas uni" go for IMU

basically if you scored well enough and impressed the interviewer, you're almost certainly guaranteed a place... but surviving through the course is a different matter... :-/

Is it true that its harder to get into Medicine August intake compared to February intake?
Is it harder to get into PMS option compared to completing the full course in IMU?
what is the minimum qualification for A-Level required to stand a chance for interview for Medicine August intake, PMS option?
Thanks

*** they have to be strict with the quality of students going to pms....the standards are set by the respective pms, not imu........and generally, standards are lower in local med schools than the 1st world..
I am a graduate of IMU and I think the above statement is definitely incorrect and offensive.

IMHO, the only thing different of those going PMS and local is the financial status after they completed their study.

I strongly advise those interest to study at IMU, pls visit the website and visit the schools.

Well, you actually go all the way to find my posts. Do you have to go so far just to counter someone who you think is not worthy to debate with?
Intake of Melaka-Manipal and AIMST is dubious?? May i know where's the basis to this statement? In the end, you are just another superficial idiot who likes to bash others without any basis.
Also, i din say Manipal is the best. I did SAM, so the only option for me back then was to join a private medical school. You expect me to join local public U with SAM? Amazing logic you have.
Well, i didn't say you were wrong. I was simply pointing out what is written on the web site. Pls, dun be so sensitive. 
If you are not happy with what i had said back then, why didn't you counter me? Why now?? 
Dude, come on, you should have posted this in the thread back then, not here. This thread is meant for IMU for heaven's sake. Oh man, that is a seriously delayed patello-spino-quadratus reaction. 
So, let me ask, how can someone who is neither a medical student nor a doc judge whether a medical school produces competent doctors? It takes a panel of medical experts to do that. So, i was only asking whether he's qualified enough to judge.
Same logic applies, can a doctor judge whether a particular IT school produces competent software engineers?
OMG, you even know i am into casing modding?? Wow, isn't that a stalker or what? 
Haha, well well well. You seriously are an idiot, aren't you? If i wanna fake, why dun i say i am from UM, Harvard or some other Western Us? After all, Manipal is still not as pretigious as those mentioned above. 

After a brief reading through all your posts, you seem to be an old timer who likes bashing others just to make yourself look good. This is not the attitude for intelligent discussion in the forum.

Also, pls Quit being so emo dude. It's bad for health. 

It doesn't really matter if the university is automatically recognised by other countries. You can always sit for an examination and get the license. It beats me why do many people actually think that this is a hassle (I mean, if it's already your passion to heal, then just make do with whatever obstacles you have to meet)

The same applies to Malaysia. As long as you have graduated from any foreign university, you will have to sit for an examination before you can practice locally.

*btw AIMST University is recognised by LAN.

i heard of an example of an imu seremban graduate passed the exam and working in US now
but that shudn't be easy i think

Sorry, but I'm pretty sure medical graduates from foreign countries, including UK/NZ/Aust/India/Indonesia/Russia etc (graduation year: 2012 onwards) will have to sit for that exam. It was in the local newspapers. Not sure when was it announced though.
