What do you do for your pre-u course? If you want to apply for UM or UTM, better buy UPU pin now, due date is around the corner. Btw, subsidized UM fee for E&E is also almost the same as UTM, you may also choose to go for direct intake, but it will cost around 90k.

If not mistaken, IPTA asasi doesn't guarantee a spot for degree in respective IPTA, you still need to apply through UPU. Is your child just graduated from SPM last year？If yes, then STPM is the best route to enter IPTA. Otherwise, I would suggest to stay in A Level. Remember to take MUET this year if he/she is planning to apply UPU next year. If financial condition allows, direct intake is the most reliable way to get into UM engineering degree.

I can't comment on quality of IPTA vs IPTS since I still haven't started my degree yet. From ranking wise, it seems that IPTA is overall better than local IPTS. But it is just a reference, choosing a uni is far more than its ranking.

I just ended A Level in tarc, will start degree soon in UTAR. I have applied UPU at the same time and will withdraw from UTAR if I success to get a place in IPTA.

90k is burden for me, ptptn only allows me to borrow 20k like all other ipta students. Have done MUET, but result will only come out after UPU ends, hope I still able to fill in my MUET result when appealing.
