I make some simple comparison between this TARUC and UTAR:
1) Tuition Fee: Not much difference
2) Teaching Quality: Not much difference
3) Student Poppulation: Majority Chinese, same for both
4) Research Capability: UTAR better (TARUC not yet have PhD graduate until today)
5) Reputation: UTAR better (More well-known in industry)

If you are prospective student not yet apply for both uni, which one you will prefer?

I wouldn't think that research would be an important component unless most of what the lecturers are doing is applied research within a scientific field. TARUC is a teaching university and i would go for a teaching university more than a research-based one. Research in Malaysia is over-rated with majority of the people publishing in less than reputable journals and conferences just to meet their research requirements.

And i would think TARUC has a higher reputation than UTAR as it is older and more established. Don't forget UTAR was created for TARUC students to feed into but along the way changed it's manifest. TARUC will eventually be a university too.

In terms of price - TARUC is cheaper since it's subsidised while UTAR is NOT subsidised. Both are under the umbrella of MCA.
