Hi, i'm a current student in UTM's PUPW programme (UTMSpace) taking Diploma in Computer Science (IT)
Assuming that, if I graduate with a CGPA of 3.78 do I stand a chance to enroll into UM/UKM/USM taking preferably Computer Science (AI, if applicable)

Are you applying for direct intake (with credit transfer and skipping 1 or 2 semesters)?
If you are, you need to check for the available places for direct intakes according to the course. This number differ greatly from programme to programme, university to university due to policies and education paradigms.
The best way to find out is to ask the programme directors for each programme in each school individually. If they're reluctant, find out the intake of diploma holders into their programme each year from the students.
For example, CS in UKM might open for 10 students, but USM offer 20. So you know you have better chance of landing a place in USM. Without these numbers, I doubt you can effectively gauge your chances.

I'm gonna apply through UPU, if I'm going for direct intake, the fees might be too high, might as well go for UTM. I have asked the programme directors, still waiting for the reply and I haven't thought of asking the students, so I'll ask them through the confession page or some friends in those respective universities. Thanks for your input.

If I'm not mistaken Maszlee has already made it very clear that for STPM & Matrikulasi neither of the two is prioritised over the other. This was after many (spm 2018 batch) complained that they weren't accepted for the matrikulasi programme This post has been edited by a19113: Nov 27 2019, 05:05 PM

I don't see any reason why he would blatantly lie about something which he can so easily get caught for? This is concerning the UPU system which universities across the nation are handling (and not Maszlee himself)

The difference between number of students enroll into IPTA from both paths is because matriks have students which are more and generally better than the stpm. Besides, stpm is also significantly more difficult than matriks.

In your case, Matriks or STPM (or if the particular uni has its own diploma program) will be prioritised over your UTM diploma program. Getting in to the UTM program should be easier?
