Come here ask about uitm, can only get one answer lah....lol

Perhaps more to the point....what is your qualification?....

The quality of an institution correlates best with the quality of students it admits....

If you got rubbish results and can still get admitted, it answers your question.....

Keep UiTM as the absolute last resort. Ifnu have better option, avoid UiTM at all cost

Some UiTM students are incompetent not because of the lecturers, but because of their tongkat mentality. The Dean’s list students are mostly as competent as other local uni grads.

If you think you are a lazyass student, then you might be part of the incompetent grad. Tepuk dada tanya diri sendiri.

Medical and such are exception.

No need....muet requirement in msia is a joke....just sit and get band 1 also can graduate....

I duno but with all those racist stuff..good also have limit.

But still got offer with band 3? I thought professional courses like medic, pharmacist and such must at least band 4.

The way SPM is nowadays....don't get 8a, including at least half a+..... considered average result.....

But Malaysia boleh, so many will eventually get 4.0 in some foundation....

But still well above MMC/MDC minimum requirement.... people with the minimum 5b and CGPA 3.0 also get in ....you can imagine the standard of the unis admitting them....lol

uitm?

better learn from utube on how yo become dentist

this is /k.. uitm is not a choice

so you only go to hospitals is it? do you know those small shoplots clinics and dental clinics are owned by SELF-EMPLOYED doctors and dentists. Heck, even vets also self employed.

Self employed means open own business ok. Bukan learn from youtube. get your english check.

Uitm is a school not a university, everytime I interview them they what also tak tau...

what on earth... I know that for law courses, public uni requires at least band 4. How the heck is the requirement for law exceeds dentistry/meds??

Yours truly,
Somebody with muet band 5

you are interested in medical / dental field right?

ive heard and read somewhere the best country to venture into these fields are India and Indonesia. These 2 countries produce the best world class doctors / dentists.

Hi, UiTM dental graduate here. I found some of the replies highly undermined us UiTM & other Msian uni dental graduates and some not even answering the question at all. It is understandable that UiTM will always be under a national stigma but I'm not here to fight an endless war. Before going forth to answer your question, I'd like to clarify my position- I've had the experience of being a dental student in Indonesia & later transferred to UiTM, and graduated.

1. I take it that you're in our most recent batch, 2018? Congratulations for passing the interview. However I would like to express my disappointment to hear that you're depressed for getting in UiTM after you heard 'everyone' said UiTM graduates are incompetent. First, those 'everyone' that you speak of, have they had any dental background & maybe experience of a dental student/practitioner themselves? It is highly biased to you know, for example listen to a lawyer or a businessman to decide on the competency of a dental graduate. Second; you're losing sight of your objective here. You're very much concerned about whether you'll come out being incompetent in UiTM as 'everyone' else said. Don't think too highly of yourself. Are you competent enough to be in a dental faculty is the supposed question. I'll have you know that being in our faculty requires not little but persistent, constant drive to succeed. There's going to be a humongous amount of requirements for you to complete, competency tests in every semester to pass, annual Professional exams and a lot of tough supervisors/lecturers to handle. Think this is a walk in a park? Think again. Lots of students are held back every year for taking this course lightly. Dental faculties in any university is considered to be the hardest to graduate from. Even medicine doesn't have this much of requirement to pass. I have nothing to gain from praising the UiTM dental faculty- but being a dental student in two countries (Indo & Malaysia), the Msian dental faculty has lots more requirement & opportunities compared to Indo.

2. In UiTM you are trained to do various requirements. For example the root canal treatment in molars is known as specialty level in Indonesia & some other countries, but in UiTM it is compulsory to complete the case. For dentures, you'll need to complete 8 units (complete, partial acrylic & cobalt chrome) and most of the time, to pass the competency test you'll complete more than 8. Don't even get me started on fixed prosthodontic requirements. Oral surgery is definitely not easy- the department has very strict and no-nonsense supervisors who aren't afraid to call you out on your extractions & minor oral surgery (yes, there's going to be a time you'll perform a surgery yourself without a supervisor). You'll get less than 3 years to finish all requirements and pass all competencies. And I think its the more or less the same in other dental faculties in Malaysia. So far as I've been briefed by our external colleagues, the dental graduates in UiTM and other public universities (UM, UKM etc) are performing exemplary results in private or public sector. I guess all we can do is to continue keeping up the good work our predecessors have put forth and not be the first to blunder.

3. Regarding your plan to continue a specialty in OMFS in UM, finish your dental degree first. Build a network with oral surgeons. Can't say much if you haven't even finish the degree yet.

If you think being in UiTM will be such a problem for the sake to keep up appearances because its *UiTM*, I suggest you rethink your decision. Us dentists here aren't interested in fame & glory. We would care less what uni you're from if you've performed a great job. Any university you enter, be it Harvard or UiTM, if you're incompetent- you are at fault for being incompetent. That is what our UiTM supervisors/lecturers have cautioned us: We need to perform the best we can and serve the public, eventhough there will always be shallow-minded people who never even performed an endo molar or an extraction would talk like they know shit. I have no interest in holding up the national stigma of UiTM but us UiTM dental graduates will continue to serve the public the best we can- irregardless of what the public thinks of us.

Hi OP, I'm among one of the graduates from UiTM Faculty of Dentistry, here is my experience;

When I was learning in UiTM I am not the cream of the class, i am not the brightest guy through out my batch and truth be told never achieve anything throught out my 5 years of learning there. And I thought I will end up as a flop when I enter my FYDO programme 4 years ago. But somehow during my FYDO-ship I learned that graduates from BDS/DDS overseas are performing a lot worse than me (In theory yes they are good, but what they lack is hands on skills and exposure in treating patients). And I learned that how you benefit, use, and utilise what you learn regardless of the universities will actually determine how will you succeed in your future endeavors.

Once you enter UiTM FoD, you will be shaped and molded according to what the Malaysian Hospitals and Dental Clinic requires you. To make you feel better, most of the lecturers there are graduated from what people called as "Malaysian Ivy League Universities" UM, UKM, USM not to mention that a bunch of them further their studies overseas like in UK, Australia and NZ which considered as the best Dental Faculties in whole wide world.

Adding what aainaaqila had told you, apart from the requirement and scary OS lecturers... you will also need to do tonnes of presentation, endure boring session of discussion in Problem Based Learning, do Community Dental Work, learning how to converse in Mandarin, Entrepreneurship and tonnes of stuff

If you still not convinced enough, just try..You can always quit midway and try other public/private universities.

Owh another thing to add; You mentioned that you are interested to further your studies in OMFS, Its a good choice and a tough one too, you need to finish your BDS, I strongly suggest you to show your interest in OMFS during your FYDO, gain experience a year or two, take your Basic Medical Science examination or MJDF Part 1 paper and apply

Anyway.... You can pm me and I am more than happy to share you my experience there

"Cheers"

I pls u la TS. Don't. Got too many dentists. Go PJ one row of shop easily got 3/4 dental clinic.
