if u got petronas scholarship better go to utp...
because need a lot of money to study there..
but if u using your own money for studying..
better UTM.
UTM better for engineering....
if u want to work with petronas...u can still work for them by scoring in UTM..
but why only choose petronas?how about shell and other international company?
in utm u also can get better job opportunities..

the most important, u must score man...
even if u studying in UTP,if u cannot score
u cannot got any job.

UTP and UTM are the best for engineering..
but UTM more experience in engineering...
UTM got alot of experience lecturer and 1st facilities
don't worry...

UM better in medical and science..

hi there, i am currently studying in utm nw.

for you info, according to my seniors and lecturers, utm graduates has good job opportunities after the graduation. More over, the standards of the syllabus here are great if compared to other technology universities.

I am doin mech eng too

if me, i will choose USM,

the highest ranking universiti by gov in malaysia,

one of research university (RU) in malaysia, gov put a lot of money from RMK-9 to RU

i've met final year chem eng student from UTM.

she's in her last year in UTM. she not yet sit for her final exam, but, she already got called from shell and schlumberger for interview.

if wan pursue medical course USM can la..

if wan engineering go UTM or UTP..

Wow.... thx a lot for the info guys, I really appreciate it. So the facilities in UTM is better than UTP, while UM is famous for its medical course. I understand now

without PETRONAS, there is no UTP (since the name itself is Uni Tech Petronas). just an old USM bulding left. most graduates secure jobs within PETRONAS as well as other O&G companies (those who are not bonded with PET)
you should go to UTP too when u have the time. its great here.. but the weather is a bit too hot here. facilities i can say one of the best. and you have to stay in campus throughout the years ur in UTP...

UTP no doubt is new. but then, u'll most likely be assured of a job after graduation. petronas mannnn...

i say UTM n UTP
since their facilities quite good
UM dun go la
OLD BUILDING haha
the eng fac damn small

hi.im from utp and also a petronas scholar.when i read through all of this discussion, all of you are saying that if you are pursuing your study in utp, you should not be worry about your job later on.

but for me, in utp even for the petronas scholar, our job are still not secured as you all said. we still need to score and even after we graduate there still will be an interview for the scholar to be able to get a job. if you are lucky enough then you will be sent to any of the petronas companies.for the non-scholar, after you graduate you can go wherever you want.

in term of the engineering facilities, as for me who is doing chem eng in utp, i would say the facilities here is great. it is almost the same as the real-time engineering facilities on site.maybe you are right about O&G and utp.if you are interested in O&G then it is best for you to further in utp.but believe it or not, mostly now chem eng are related to the O&G industry.

one more when you are in the final year final, there will be an inside interview in utp with many other companies beside petronas.i guess other uni also have the same process as well.

however, in the end it is you who will determine your own job later on. it doesnt matter which uni you choose but your final result is the most important of all

oh no...why utm is so good...if like this the competition for admission is gonna be very hard and gone are my chance to study there....puu

i reckon that your statistics is based on the number of Petronas Scholars who are absored into that org right after their graduation. it is a must for all petronas scholars to attend job interview after their graduation. this is where your statistics come into play because most of them are absord into petronas and its subsidiaries. others got into it and engineering field, while some of them got into grad school. utp is best known for its electrical and chemical engineering program and just about 2 years ago utp introduced petroleum engineering when not many unis in malaysia offer that program. in near future, utp will offer a program in geoscience. i'd say if you guys out there are into engineering, opt for utp or utm.

utp is beyond doubt new, entering its 10th anniversary last year. we can't compare utp with those unis that are already several decades old and most of the ranking methodology are biased to each other. no single ranking can gauge utp actual credibility and quality.

tq.

uitm vs um
which one is good in engineering..mechanical and chemical
my aim to get job at oversea
i just can go between 2 university for degree

To TS,

Go to UTP if you get Petronas scholars. Or if you able to secure JPA or MARA scholarship. Else, it will be a big amount to study here.

UTM Mechanical? No comment. Don't have friend there.
I have friends in UM and USM mechanical, visited their lab facilities and everything.
I would say UTP stands out better in this. More comfortable environment to study as well.

UTP is pretty new as a university, of course the research capability (amount) lose the UM/UTM. Better visit those campus yourself, to have a look at the study environment, etc.

To me, UTP is pretty good in term of teaching material and facilities. Lecturers? Well every universities have their "great" lecturer and "bad" lecturers. Not all are as good as azarimy

Job opportunities? Well with 32 weeks internship you gonna go through in UTP, I believe many companies will want you after your graduation.
If you targetting oil n gas sector, studying in UTP does give you priority over other universities student (it still depend on yourself, how you bring yourself a student).

Good luck in choosing a suitable uni for yourself to further study in mechanical engineering.

I'm from UTP, Mechanical Engineering, final semester

take UM out from your list.. not a suitable Uni for engineering esp mech..

everything is up to you
go oxford also if u duwan study no use

dont blame lecturer of the uni if u not successful

dont mad at me. tq

UTP has great facilities in its academic building.
Yeah, and 'great' Internet connection too..
but still, we have LAN for DC++ and DOTA and CS and bla3

I see a lot mention that UTP is good for engineering. But is it good for engineering in GENERAL or SPECIFIC ones like Chemical only? What about Civil?

UTM is the best for chemical engineering,it also known as university tendang malaysia...they are really strict about your result,if u want to enter there,dont play play...if not,u'll be kick out..

go for um de
