Hi there!

I was recently awarded first-class honours for my degree as I'm a final-year student and have completed all my subjects. I am now awaiting graduation next year (April 2020). Does anyone have any information on whether the PTPTN loan repayment exemption for first-class honour students still exists? All the information I see online is very confusing and blurry ever since the new government took over. I have so many questions.

Is this exemption still a thing? Is it only for a selected group of people now (B40? M40???) How will I know if I'm eligible? Who do I contact to ask? How to I apply to try my luck? When do I apply? Now or after I'm officially graduated?

I have worked hard and it will be pretty sad if this thing doesn't exist anymore hmm.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated! (:

No more

You have to pay full like others.
No more special priviledges.

But congrats on getting 1st class honour

Want clear answer go ask at PTPTN office.

If you graduated before 1 Jan 2019, then yes. Else, no more first class honour free conversion to scholarship anymore.

You may want to thank them people prior to you who don't want to settle their PTPTN despite having the ability to do so.

Finished by last year can still apply.
This year already kenot.

They dont hv enuf money already.

TS is a few month late

but dont just stop there right? can always apply for scholarships

Want tongkat is it?
Maybe you can ask those politician who support free PTPTN.

can try finding adam adli and ask for his help..maybe he will guling2 again on the streets

Reason also partly due to brain drain. The 1st Class honor goes to work overseas or in Singapore.....this mean Malaysia educate or pay the cost to groom a person 25 years old education....then Advance Country like Singapore get to use their brain at cheap cost...

To allow 1st Class....means in Malaysia, all sector must open to merit.....means, you try retain these smart young Malaysians to contribute to economy and work here. Else you educate them for nothing when they go to US, Singapore, Australia or even to China...then wasted.

No more because govt realised it isn't worth anything, what with each uni having different standards and all that.

got first class in degree but lazy to go ptptn office to ask.

Brain drain is also, a way Malaysian government subsidizing education....but then don't use the top smart Malaysian kids and allow them migrate. Opportunity need open for the top smart people to join the economy

Vary following your institution.
Kindly ask your faculty directly.

Hint:. Available partly on some UA and course taken.

Thanks for the input.

yes, this is k/ PTPTN helpdesk. call troll free number: 1-100-ptptn-14 floor

yg pinjam ptptn tu bawa kereta mewah kluar negera luar makan angin but not willing to pay

u should curse them till the end of your life

Hi. You can refer to this.

Ptptn is a loan, not scholarship.

No more 1st Kelasss exemption is the right thing.

U don’t need first class Honors to get a Exemption

U just need a full fledged dermatology operation and you will be entitled everything under the sky.

Please backdate your graduate date

Congratulations on your first class honors.
Please pay your PTPTN as there are no more exemptions.

Berita tahun 2012, scandal Najib songlap 1MDB belum terbang lagi.

If Najib used the songlap money and pay all PTPTN loan, maybe can even give 3 more rounds of free education.

sad to be TS, just late by 12 months

oh well... better luck next time

but since TS got 1st class, should be easy to get a job right?

TS can just easily get a starting pay of 3k or something, can easily pay ptptn la

1st class exemption still there, but only for B40 group of family. My sis just got her PTPTN exemption graduating from UTAR with first class.

Just FYI

so no more discounts?

I'm applying exemption and submitted all document to ptptn office. They didn’t say anything and still accept my application and document. So it means still have exemptions?

Why didnt you ask them? tanya sini can do what actually?

How to classify as B40group?

Seriously? You got first class honors cannot do simple checking ka?

No wonder they say education quality is a downhill trend these days

Yes loan with differed repayment scheme which is good. Get money today and replay 4-5 years later after graduated. Good huh.

go PTPTN ask them directly. tu pun cannot? this quality lazy get 1st class also Im not hire u.

kek

I believed that the first class exemption are still apply to B40s and M40s (PH did a u turn, their initial plan was only for the B40s).

Hi TS, I'm in same situation as you, also graduating next year but already finished my studies this December.

I just called PTPTN care line, and they say still got the waive exemption thingy, no need B40, so wait till the transcript out just follow the steps , fill up form as stated in their website!

Anyways congrats! I know it's a lot of work to get first class honours so you deserve a pat ! Hope it helps 🙂

Ahaha I got my exemption before Jan 2019

Suck on that motherfuckers

Still got exemption. Just go to office and ask. But a lot more paper work to prepare.
