hi.. i'm ur senior.. at least, used to be ur senior... 
its a good course actually.. hehe.. all my friends already got jobs, good ones too.
it all depends on which sectors u r interested in. u know, biotech or palm oil industry, etc
some of my friends got jobs such as QC engineer, chemist, etc

the percentage rate for penganggur in this course is really low u know..
from what i know, yg penganggur tu juz me and my friends, those yg nk smbung masters
cheers

well.. we (kimia industri) learned more on the basic theories and such.. if i'm not mistaken engineering learned more on the processes.
among the subjects. that i took were organic, inorganic, physical and analytical chemitry. thats the basic. then i took environmental, corrosion, catalytic, food chemistry, etc. every semester we will be going to the lab, so make sure u like to do that, ok. 

we chemists r more to the lab kinda things. some of my friends work in petronas and shell, but they work in the lab. QA analysts, etc. engineers, if i'm not mistaken, they work on the field.

well... i dont have any statistics at all.. but.. what i gather from all of my friends, none of them tgh tanam anggur skrg ni.. everybodi got a job. even my seniors also.. most of them got jobs.. some of them even job hopping, changing from one job to another, to get good salary..
trust me, there are lots of opportunities for us out there... cume rajin or not la nk cari keje..

by the way, u kena rajin2 study la.. got good grades, and good personality, i'm sure u will get a job easily...

about the universities stuff, erm, some people claimed that. but, from what i've known, my lecturers (ur future lecturers), most of them are very qualified, brilliant, and got lots of awards from geneva, etc for their research works.. so i may safely say that our uni is not that bad...  alamak, mcm promote pulak 

u have to learn first to know u like it or not.. well, me myself enjoyed my 3 years here, well, except during my final semester for the killer PSM.. wahahaha..

i'm on utm's soil right now... yippiee... n guys, psz got new pc wor.... hp... kaya nye utm...

again i repeat, it is better to wear long skirt during orientation.. some of the seniors that are in charge of you may be very garang one... knee length i'm not sure, better ask other seniors, didnt they mentioned it in those papers that u got?
for 1 whole week u r required to wear black n white, unless told not to. during my mhs at the end of the week ada kelonggaran edi, can wear colours... so i juz wear baju kurung..

Help answer dis pls,

1. kod program=the code we use to apply in mohe?? eg TSXX or the code from http://intake.utm.my/semakan/docs/pdf/Panduan%20UTMP5-1.pdf eg SBS for Sarjana Muda Senibina??
2. Semester=01?
3. No Matrik=code on the top left of the offer letter?? eg AS08XXXX ??
4. No pendaftaran is it the same wit No Matrik??
5. Do I nid to post anything to UTM be4 the orientation?If yes,which one?
6. Is it a must to open an account in CIMB even I'm not applying for PTPTN or other loan?

Hope all my question is answer ASAP..Thx alot guys ^^

1. yes, SBS stands for:

S - code for sarjana muda
B - code for faculty (B for alam bina, E for electrical, M for mechanical etc)
S - code for the course (S for senibina, L for landscape, Q for quantity surveying etc)

2. i dont understand the question.

3. and 4. yes, no pendaftaran is ur matric number.

6. no, u dont need to open CIMB account, but it's easier for future dealings with UTM. not having an account in CIMB just makes the process a little longer (due to transfers between banks).

no, from what happen to me last year, they ask you to wipe off with liquid paper or just slash it only

about the batik issue: just get a cheap one and bring it. if UTM gives u one, then u'll have 2. there are lots of batik shirts out there, the hand painted are the expensive ones. go and find the printed/mass produced batik. that's cheaper.

well, if u dont like to work in a lab, thats too bad for you.. bcoz for 3 years u will be going to the lab..
seriously, i doubt ur teachers words, no offense.. coz i got real evidences u know..
other than chemistry subjects we will be taking management, marketing, entrepreneurship, etc
so from those subjects there are many jobs that will be waiting for u, trust me.. for example, one of my friends opt to work in jusco as their management trainee, another work in a company as marketing production exec, etc

r u chinese? if u r, when u come here, ur seniors will be helping u and guiding u and give u past yr papers, notes, etc.. thats their culture there

I think i will bring my bro's batik with mmu logo

Err, i'm staying in Kolej Tun Hussein Onn, and the room type is twin sharing.
