Hello, I have applied for MEng degree at UTM few weeks back.

Haven't got a response yet. UTM is very busy that it doesn't have time to reply back to the applicants that they have recieved the application or application is under process. Seems like the HR or Administration department is very low at resources or something. mad.gif mad.gif

I have emailed to the administration as well but no response as well. vmad.gif vmad.gif

Don't know how to track my application. Im from Pakistan and now im looking for somewhere else for studying.

Is there any way that to track my application or making UTM answer my queries ??

april to may is the worst time to apply for masters at any malaysian universities bcoz that's when the undergraduate application processing takes the entire attention of the university. most malaysians would be familiar with this as it is a sort of annual phenomena.

but i can see that u're from pakistan and might not be familiar with this. u might experience similar problems for any other malaysian universities.

anyways, u should have received a confirmation that ur application is being processed by now. can u confirm with me:

i. to whom did u sent the application form?
ii. did u contact UTM? if u did, to whom did u speak to?

do note that emailing is still considered as informal communication and is given lower priority as compared to a written letter or a phone call.

May be you're right with the fact that university is more focused on the undergrad applicants, but where does the support or administration go, one reply can impose a positive aspect of the university.

I have mailed by post to the UTM Dean alongwith the money draft / application fees to the university address that was mentioned in the application form, and my courier service has already responded to me that the documents were successfully delivered.

Now what a university should do is give an email reply or phone call to the applicant in confirmation but I haven't recieved ant confirmatory email from them ... vmad.gif vmad.gif vmad.gif

I tried to call once but no one responded. Well, i think email is the best way that you can respond to even after a week.

i need more details.

u mailed to the dean with the money? i might be rusty on the procedures, could u enlighten me on the entire process of application? i'm not aware u have to pay anything for application, and even so, it's not the dean who should receive that money. which dean did u sent the application to? can u give me the address?

if u called, what number did u call and when did u made the call?

prior to application, did u talk to anyone about applying to UTM?

Mann, It was clearly mentioned twice on the application form that I downloaded from the UTM website, that your application will not be processed untill you submit this amount of money through pay check.

Now you mean, I was robbed !!!! mad.gif mad.gif vmad.gif vmad.gif vmad.gif

The address is :
DEAN
SCHOOL OF GRADUATE STUDIES
UNIVERSITI TEKNOLOGI MALAYSIA
81310 UTM SKUDAI
JOHOR, MALAYSIA



I don't need to provide you the URL if you're currently studying there, but check this webpage stating the requirements:
UTM

Thats a valid point, but NO ! I didn't talk to anyone prior to applying as I mistakenly thought that Malaysia is a well developed country. blink.gif

okay, i'm officially fed up with the attitude. if u want me to assist, lay off the attitude. i'm not some dumbass moron born yesterday.

u need to understand something. education is serious business. it's not the first time that people have used the names of malaysian universities in order to scam people to part with their money. i'm not saying u've been robbed. which is why i wanted to clarify with u if u used someone as intermediary.

there are procedures and protocols to follow, and i need to clarify that u did this before i go hunt people down. it'll be funny if i start looking for people, and they start asking me back about ur applications, and then me having to find u back and clarify to them back again. so u need to be very clear with me about the details. u said u contacted UTM, but u still havent given me the details.

u want me to help, then help me understand the situation.
and finally, if u actually read the application page, it states the deadline for july intake is 27 february, which is more than 2 months ago. if ur application (which u said was submitted a couple of weeks ago) arrived after the submission date, it would be processed for next year's intake (2010).

okay, i'm coool now, if that did sound high cool2.gif !!

Now, let me reitterate, my word of concern is that why didn't the university authorities replied in acknowledgement that they have recieved my application.

If my application was late, then they should inform me that the application is recieved after the deadline or it is under process or it will be catered for next year.

Secondly, I've provided you the details of my application that I sent and don't have objection in providing further if you be more specific. Btw, I have mailed to following addresses:

admission@utm.my; upa@utm.my; graduate@utm.my

Would be nice to hear any bright ideas thumbup.gif
