Well those orang bangang kaya raya join mah. Want recognition mah.
Personally besides CS and Engineering degree seems worth it because of government facilities.

others Art Stream one can go to IPTS for better value. laugh.gif

Do note PTPTN is based on "Subsidized" Value. Engineering only dapat RM 20k.
other courses less than that.

No need to go through UPU system?
What about the scholarships? Will it be the same or not scholarship available?
*
Most IPTA students are not scholarship holders, they are running on Subsidy Program.
Scholarship normally can find private external one.
This one not a big issue, atleast you committed to be bonded by company.

In regards to PTPTN loans, yes, they get the same PTPTN loans are regular sudsidized tuition fees students at a much lower rate compared to those in IPTS.
Government should actually take a look into this issue.

I rather doubt so, IGCSE/O'Levels students , without SPM, are not eligible to apply through this direct intake channel.
*
Didn't really read through the qualifications but I think still emphasize on PreU than Year 10 results IGCSE O LEVEL SPM

Updated read through the requirements just need pass in SPM Malay and Sejarah. Doesn't mean require full 6 subject cert.

I think they might changes in requirement. if you WhatsApp and enquire directly

All IPTAs still require SPM BM. Some unis require an additional SPM subject like Sejarah or Maths. I highly doubt this requirement will change. So even if you hold O-levels, you still need those SPM subjects. It's baseline requirement set by the ministry.

However...

If you noticed recently that the ministry have introduced individual papers for SPM. So now people with O-levels can take 1-2 SPM subjects to fulfill the intake criteria. I'm not talking about the July papers, because to qualify for July papers, you need to have sat for full SPM papers.

So with the new ruling, you don't need to sit for full SPM, just take individual subjects.

I know this because I had one case in UTM who took O-levels (father is a diplomat). She tried to apply for July BM paper, but was told she didnt qualify. So she took SPM (the whole thing!) as individual candidate. Of course, she only needed credit in BM biggrin.gif. The rest peduli apa.

Well since it is a Private Direct Intake this criteria can be fulfilled within the 3 to 4 year study period in IPTA la if they ain't strict.
If flexible enrollment center la

Well they can. But just to note: This programme is known as PUPW (Public University, Private Wing) where all UAs in Malaysia can adopt to ease the financial burden. Each university can come up with their own niche or method to run this programme, but the bottom line is, they cannot get intake lower than that is already set by MQA and the ministry.

Although it means those who have money but lower results can get into UA, but they still can't undermine the minimum requirement.

Also, in this programme, you pay more doesn't mean you get more (like in US/IPTS). You get the exact same facility, accommodation, education and experience as those who came in UPU. You just pay more to skip UPU laugh.gif

Personally I think Pre-U Results sometimes are BS, and are a bad indicator sometimes, as it covers too much syllabus criterion which is not applicable in most uni subjects. rclxub.gif
I personally score badly in my Pre-U but great in my SPM. But still managed to do well in Uni.
If this keeps up I think Foundation / ASASI from IPTA should opened up for more candidates willing to pay full price.

Personally I think if you want compare price with Midtier IPTS with IPTA. Facilities surely IPTA wins for Engineering side of things.
I see my friends studying Engineering CAD in IPTA got iMac to use shakehead.gif

Kek in regular midtier IPTS, old shitty Windows PC without graphics card that always crashes... sweat.gif

Hi

do they provide any financial assistance through SATU Channel? Like MARA or PTPTN
*
Hi there, yes, they do offer PTPTN, but you will receiving like RM 20k+/- like that for Engineering program.
Unless they change their policy to provide more.

Again will recommend apply front door, before moving to back door.

Would just like to share from informations I gathered. Those who applied through SATU will be separated from those who applied through UPU Channel. Your campus will be in Wisma Jaya wheareas the UPU students' campus will be in Jalan Profesor Diraja Ungku Aziz.

The PTPTN does not cover the whole tuition fees. They only gives RM6,650 annually. Meaning no full loan.

I took Foundation in IPTS. They said I cannot apply through UPU but I can apply through SATU .

I just asked them regarding the MARA loan (because I did some research on MARA website and they do provide loan for those who applied through SATU) . And I also asked them whether the certificate is accredited by the UM itself or not. More answer coming soon.
*
Thanks for sharing, but this seems new for segregation of UPU vs Satu Channel students.
As my friends and our few members here did mentioned that their programs are conducted the same as UPU students.

PTPTN doesn't cover the full amount is technically correct.
I would phrase it as, "how much UPU applicants get, you will also get the same amount".
Yes additional financial support is required if you can't pay the RM 60k to 90k required to study the courses.

But compared to current IPTS Pricing with the Facilities you get in exchange. I think UM still is the better option.

No comment on MARA part. But Certificate / Degree should be the same as UPU, no point they purposely open a new degree purposely vetted for SATU channel candidates.

Anyhow, you sure IPTS Foundation UPU not accepting this year? Or just that UM doesn't accept that?

But still try to attempt applying via UPU, who knows you might get a course.

I think they just recently made this open up via Satu Channel should be pre-existing. need to check MQA.

Can I seek clarification please -
A student who has completed her Sunway Foundation in science in Sunway Uni will she be able to apply thru the Satu program?
Or must the foundation be like A levels, SAM, Ausmat etc?
*
So far, A levels, SAM, Ausmat only.
For Foundation, please call to Enrollment Centre if they have special exception, because some Foundation from uni they might accept.

MATRICULATION / FOUNDATION (Current Year)
Pass Government Matriculation /UM Foundation of Science/or
Foundation from other institutions that is recognized by the Government and University Senate and obtain at least CGPA 3.00 and Gred B in the following subjects:
