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? :

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.

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.

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.

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

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

I think for Asasi IPTA ones

better ask help from Dean of Law dept.

so didn't made it?

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.

Anyhow, what you plan to further your studies in?

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.

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.

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 ...

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

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

then better register yourself with MUET on demand?

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
