Need to verify this. If I am not mistaken, even if you want to study as a part-time in IPTA, you will still be registered as a full-time student.

Nope. For PhD studies, they allow you to take the part-time route. I did my PhD in UPSI (IPTA) and was registered as part-time.

Depends on unis then. I know for certain that one of the IPTA will still register you as full-time.

What's real difference registering as full-time student in this case?

More tuition fees per semester?

'Expected' duration to graduate, see explanation by ike.tan below too. I did not check on if there is any difference in tutition fees per sem.

Yeah - cause PhD has no need for classes i guess - so no difference between full time and part-time. Trying to find if there is a maximum duration stated anywhere. I remember there was a MQA document that stated it but for the life of me, I cannot find it. The 2021 Standards for Master's and DOctoral Degree only stated the typical duration of study for full-time and part-time candidates AND not the maximum. If theer is no difference between both modes of study, maybe that's why there are no differentiation.

You are right, there is no maximum stated. Just a vague normal duration referred to as GOT (Graduate On Time)
