Hey there, since UPUOnline results are out.
I was wondering how many of the people in this sub-section of this forum gotten a place in IPTA using Private Institute Qualifications for Pre-U/Diploma Accepted by UPU.
Hence, the reason of the survey.



In 2017's UPUOnline Government University Placement

Completed Cambridge A-Level Oct/Nov. 2016:
1. [UM] Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBSS) - 4As (1st Application)
2. [UM] Bachelor of Science (Applied Chemistry) in UM - 2A 1B (1st Application)
3. [UM] Bachelor of Economics (1st Rayuan Session)
4. [USM] Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) Electrical Engineering - 4As - (2nd Rayuan Session) *Turned Down Offer Since Got Sponsorship by other Ptrivate Uni*


In 2018's UPUOnline Government University Placement
Completed Cambridge A-Level Oct/Nov. 2015:
1. [USM] Bachelor of Science (Hons) Mathematics
2.
3.

Do state the following if you did/didn't get a slot in a Government University.
1. University :
2. Course :
3. Pre-U/Diploma Qualifications :
4. Pre-U/Diploma Results :
5. Were you under any government scholarship program (i.e. KPM Bursary / Penajaan 9A+_) previously? :

I did Cambridge A Levels in 2015. Got into USM's Mathematics program (second choice), but won't attend. Preferred UM's Mathematics when I applied.

Hey Maxis! Long time never seen you already.
Sadly, UM doesn't have direct intake tho for that course...

So, you're planning to appeal manually?

You do know it is people over at UPUOnline approve which university you are going to right...?
Do update me, if you gotten UM.

What do you mean by "direct intake"? The one you need to spend close to a hundred thousand ringgit? Not willing to pay so much.

Only those who didn't get offers get to appeal. Not sure what you mean by appealing manually, but I'm not going to appeal, will most probably study at XMUM instead.

Yes, that one, particularly for Engineering.

Sad, meanwhile most of the people struggle to even get in with external qualifications
Because I remember a few STPM seniors, gotten a university very far away, they requested a transfer to another university offering the similar course. Not sure it can be still done tho, but it was around 2012-ish...

You can communicate in Mandarin right? Else finding friends in XMUM seems harsh.

1. University : UM
2. Course : LAW
3. Pre-U/Diploma Qualifications : AS ; waiting for A2 14 Aug
4. Pre-U/Diploma Results : AS Level 3A ; waiting for A2 14 Aug
5. Were you under any government scholarship program (i.e. KPM Bursary / Penajaan 9A+_) previously? : nope

1st application rejected. Not sure if it's coz: failed my interview/ racial quota full / A Lvl qualification quota full? / my A2 results are not out yet.

Is there direct intake for Law ?

"people over at UPUOnline approve which university you are going to" what do you mean by this ? @@

Can anyone help me?

My first option is UM LAW and I was called to attend the interview. After getting the application result today which is a fail, I decided to appeal but UM LAW is NOT one of the available options. However UKM which initially WASN'T is now one of the options. Is UKM good overall and specifically for law? Any issues? favouritism? And most importantly do I still have a chance of entering UM? thanks!

I suppose (Pure) Mathematics is one of the "cold courses". Many don't even know that you can study mathematics at uni.

Yeah... Location wise Penang is pretty cool. It's the course offering of the program that makes me think twice about taking the offer.

Yes, my momma's a Chinese. Communicating with students from China will be a little bit harder, I suppose, so I've got lots to learn...

This post has been edited by maximR: Jul 31 2018, 09:38 PM

wew gotten interview too
Most likely you failed because of AS results, if your timing is right.
Temp. Copy for Statement of Results should be out on the same day, just need certified by true copy for that document.

well UKM isn't that bad, just scared some courses is conducted in BM only.

Maybe try seeking "Devin Ky" for assistance
What type of Maths course you even looking for? Actuarial Sciences? Applied Maths?
And what is now being offered to you in USM? Pure or Applied?

Means, can listen mostly local Mandarin then.
Still okay lah.

I just called UM's admission office. They said that I needed to have my FULL results and that I can't do anything now and asked me to apply next year ............................................................. Oh dear I can't possibly wait A YEAR ............. Any advice ?

Your question proves my point. Actuarial Science isn't mathematics...

I applied to do a mathematics degree for both universities. I got USM, which is the course I applied for, but perhaps you're misunderstanding why I am not so keen on the program structure. It's because most professors there do research on more applied fields, and hence the more theoretical courses they offer are quite limited.

If you're really keen on it, wait for a year.
Else go study Degree else where.

Ohh I see, but then it is a Gov. Uni, most lecturers either work there or do research only.
If you get both abit

Happened to me last year, i didnt get into any uni when UPU came out because my ALevel result hadnt been released yet. So I called the uni to hold a place for me till the result came out. Call your uni, ask them why you werent selected (was it because of your interview?) but most likely its because of the ALevel result.

My friend who also did ALevel got into UM in their 2nd intake I believe after battling with the admission too. My take is I hope you wouldbt consider waiting another year.

I see ... Did u eventually get into the uni then ?

Yes I did. Im on my semester break now, waiting for end of August for my semester 3.

That's good news. I called to ask about it. They wouldn't tell me whether I passed my interview or not. Apparently it's a secret. But they asked me to write a letter of appeal after I get my results. Hope that my A levels results are ok.... so nervouss

Did you write a letter of appeal ? How long did it take for them to tell u whether u r accepted after you told them your results ?

This post has been edited by xenonarc99: Aug 2 2018, 06:47 PM

Yes I did write my appeal letter and send it to the Dean of Department. Call, email and make a letter on the day of your result to let them know of your result. Ask them to hold a place for you.

Can you please help me with the appeal letter? What should I write in it ? TT

1 page of formal letter should be enough.

Before the result, tell them to hold a placement for you and reevaliate your application until youve received your ALevel result on what date.

After the result, send another letter with an attached result.

Try to get into contact with the officer of the uni that is in charge with student admission, to let them keep you up to date of your application.

ok ... will they actually hold a place? and is a screenshot of the results from CIE's website sufficient ? Or does it need any form of certification ?

If youre actually eligible in the first place but didnt get a place because of your result, perhaps they will. Let them know of your situation.

I think have the option to print from CIE, I cant recall, butbif anything make sure youre printed material is certified but your college, at least your uni would know they are authentic.

Ok thanks a lot!

That paper is called provisional results or something.
Ask from your Exam Unit.

I think Foundation IPTS is in the list as well, no...?

I think for Asasi IPTA ones

Hey I got my results yesterday and i sent all the letter & docs ... how long do i need to wait for them to tell me whether i got it ? And they will let me know by email ?

Do some calls to the admission office to let them know of your appeal. I believe you would know when the first appeal result will come out. Dontngive up though, theres theres the 2nd appeal too. Make sure they know youre from ALevel..

The admission department very blur ... They don't even seem to understand me ..... Oh dear.... Were you informed by email or UPU?

better ask help from Dean of Law dept.

Direct call from them.

Update: I'm going to BAC

so didn't made it?

:')

Do you study in XMUM now ? If do, can you share your experience ? XMUM is one of my consider.

I am currently taking my A2 exam, kinda regret for choosing A level instead of STPM. Study abroad seems impossible for me, even private uni's are expensive too.

I am thinking of applying UPU next year, but I afraid that it might be a waste of time since I need to wait till August and have a great chance of fail. I wonder should I apply UPU or just go straight to UTAR ?

If your A-Level results are good, most likely you can get in, most of the time Engineering, Medic, and Pure Maths course got people gotten in so far lah.

Can't study overseas, can study local, government can supply you PTPTN.
What courses in particular you're looking to join tho?

Most institute really give Scholarships based on A-Levels results and with minor interview... Or the current university does.

Just remember to apply for Scholarships before you apply for PTPTN.

Just spend that few months working part time, earn a few savings for uni, or atleast learn for to drive.

Gentle reminder to prep yourself for MUET, as it seems there's a higher chance of getting in with MUET.
As alot of applicants got rejected before not getting MUET in time for the UPU Applications.

This post has been edited by iSean: Oct 30 2018, 08:09 PM

Thanks for your advice, I think I will apply for March MUET first and decide based on my result in January.

Anyhow, what you plan to further your studies in?

Interested in maths, but might go for engineering course for better job opportunity.

Imho, for Engineering please get back into IPTA, as UM/UKM have direct intake route if you failed to get in via UPUOnline.

RM 90k for UM ; RM 69k for UKM.

https://afterschool.my/articles/second-chan...blic-university
https://engine.um.edu.my/media/articles/201...duate-programme

Most probably because Engineering Faculty in IPTS most of them are bad, and doesn't offer you good training in operating instruments, your options are typically is "MMU/UCSI/TARUC/UTAR" for the cheaper options.

Whereas the premium options are Monash / Nottingham / Taylors , if you can get yourself a scholarship there .

Personally if possible do well in your A2 levels, try to get back into IPTA.
Don't cry over split milk if you didn't do STPM. Also STPM isn't for everyone, since General Paper / Pengajian Am is harsh to those weak in English.

This post has been edited by iSean: Oct 30 2018, 09:00 PM

90k is a heavy load for me, will try hard to enter IPTA through UPU

Well PTPTN can get maximum 43k for IPTS, [not sure for IPTA running direct intakes]
Hopefully you can work your way through lah.
Else UKM also not bad one.

Will recommend applying Engineering through via the 12 options in this way:
UM -> USM -> UTM -> UPM -> UKM ...

Ok, thanks for your advice, btw, A2 exam left only P5 of chem and phy, personally felt there is not much hope for A* in these 2 subjects, hope can do well in the remaining papers.

Come on left 2 papers only don't give up! Even without A* I'm sure As should be enough for more scholarships.

PM me your details (what you want to study, specific details about what you want to know, etc) and I'll answer.

I have a question, does any of those who entered UM/USM take MUET march session? If does, do they able to submit their MUET result on time before interview take place?

I'm pretty sure MUET now updates in UPU automatically. So no need to worry about that.

Ya, I knew that, but some said interview starts before MUET result release, and if without MUET result, they won't even consider you for the interview.

then better register yourself with MUET on demand?

Hi. May i know did I stand any chances to enter university like utm, usm, uum and ukm if I choose subjects like languages and tesl? I get 1A and 2C in A levels and this results just fulfilled their entry requirements.

This post has been edited by Cw_21t: Feb 20 2019, 10:14 PM

I think you can but the chances are low

Unfortunately, can't get any placement even with 4A*, just uploaded my MUET result and waiting for the result of rayuan

Normal some even wait until next year.
Else just apply into UM / USM / UTM via direct route.
Please don't end up in UCSI if you plan to do Engineering tho

This post has been edited by iSean: Jul 31 2019, 07:26 PM

UM doesn't offer direct intake for courses besides engineering
Wait till next year is definitely a no-no for me, taking a level is already a step behind the others, can't afford to lose one more year
Currently doing applied maths in UTAR, guess I will just continue here if the rayuan fail


This post has been edited by vergil1999: Jul 31 2019, 11:17 PM

Well with your grades. Scholarship isnt any of your concerns.
Just find a better university to do a Maths Degree?

Erm I think an A Level student here is doing degree in Maths.
Well just walkin directly to UM and USM enrollment center and ask?

UM does offer something similar or was it USM need to check my previous threads.

During the first rayuan, I chose 4 maths & CS courses from UM, but then I got an email from UPU stated that they misplaced these courses. Most of the UM courses suddenly became unavailable and those who chose them were required to make a change. The courses left for UM are all those unpopular courses such as Tamil, Arab, and Geology.

So, I went for my backup choice, which is maths and stats from UKM and ee and chem engineering from UTM. I didn't get anything from first rayuan and now I finally get something from upu 2nd rayuan, but it is not even a course from my list, which is chem-bioprocess engineering.

I will not accept this offer, it's better for me to study what I want in IPTS than what I'm not interested in IPTA.

Please PM me your results.
go to UM / USM / UTM and ask.

Try to "ACCEPT" this letter and force them to change to actual Engineering. I guess.
You might need to exchange emails with the Dean of UTM, from the likelihood of it.

Or you can be the few who paid RM 75k (UKM) or 90k (UM) for IPTA for Engineering

Please consult me on your E&E placement. If your grades are good, getting a scholarship into Nottingham / Monash / Southampton isn't a big deal for you.
So did you applied for NTU/NUS?

Hi can i know whether is it possible to get into UM to take barchelor of accounting through UPU using A levels?

Hello, may I know what's the common results entry requirements(using A-Levels/AUSMAT) to entry UM (direct entry) ?

Interested on these subjects un UM
CS(AI/SE) and Actuarial Science

Thanks in advance

UM Seems to have 150 seats for both course:
The Number in numerator should be the amount of STPM/IPTA Poly Chinese Candidates.

Apart from UTM & UM, does USM/UPM/UKM has similar direct enrty?

Hello! Thanks Lots For Replying, sorry for late replying.

1.
Based on these requirement you've stated , is it means that as long as I meet the requirement(as a non bumiputera) then I'll be accepted which just like usual private institute?

For an example
Assuming
(I've scored 8-9A's in SPM)
(I've achieved a ATAR 85 or 90 (requirement is 80) )
(fulfilled MUET requirement )

Then I apply the UM's Satu Program.
*Will I definitely get an offer from UM?* Just like Private University as long as we meet the entry requirement then we are ensured to get an offer from them.

By SATU, is it still going to be competitive? or just by some words

Generally, what grades(ATAR/A-Level) do people usually have who enter UM do by SATU?

2.
I'm thinking to enrol in Sunway Ausmat in this March/April intake and try to apply UM by 2022 Sept intake.
So ya.. the difficulty of entering UM is one of the most important issues I have to consider.

Otherwise after AUSMAT examination (12/2021) I need to wait till September(2022) and apply to UM. If I failed to get in then GG, haha missed March intake and wasted 9 months X).

Few more question and I really appreciate if you can answer me hehe.

a) When is the usual application starting date for SATU program. ( Official website isn't stated )
b) How long will it take to know the result after application? (After deadline then we'll only know?)
c) and the questions in (1)


Appreciate your effort for replying and Thanks in advance.
Cheers

You can start your AUSMAT course now... Don't take the express route unless you able to complete the Year 11/12 syllabus in such a short time.
You might be late for a few days of classes better than you scramble for your ATAR grades.

(a) Just contact the enrollment team I think their whatsapp is listed there.
(b) They will inform you, or you can check back with them.

They still reserve rights to accept or reject you, they are still a prestigious University afterall. Hence you meet their minimum requirement or better, then surely no issues at all.

Haha, I want to start in January too...
But I'm 2020 SPM candidate, postponed to this Febr-March. no choice

a)Have contacted their whatsapp. Their quota for each course is 50 huhu. Seems like it's still very competitive.

They postponed it already? Can't use trial classes for intensive classes? Haha
