that means Local Private Uni cert cannot find jobs easily, even though they are approved (diluluskan oleh) by MQA, LAN, MoHE etc.......??
Well.. For some reason, overseas might not useful is because they said that STPM is not hard enough if compared to A-level due to the medium of language used in STPM. STPM uses Malay and A-Level is English. The differences make it is harder for STPM cert holders to take a place in local university. If you want to study overseas, Diploma and A-level will be the better choice.
If you have the desire to go into local UNI, then make sure your pointer over 2.0 and PA (Pengajian Am) must get a credit / a C.

come on, i thought that STPM/Form 6 cert is very useful if wanna apply for overseas University??
I tried to apply English course with my MUET results last year in an Australia university, and they rejected my MUET result (even I got a lower band 6) as they said that is not IETLS nor TOEFL.
Then about the cert from private UNIs, even though they are approved by LAN and MoHE, but for some reason (I hope you understand what I mean)... it will have a little disadvantage compared to local government UNI.

you're welcome
From what i know, UPM slashed almost half of the students intake starting 06/07 intake for degree courses coz they want to increase postgraduate intake to boost up their uni ranking.
. Other unis i'm not sure.. There are a few types of architecture courses in my uni (pure architecture, industrial design, landscape architecture). For pure architecture course, there are only 40+ students in the course, whereby majority are bumi students. Chinese is around 15-17 ppl, no more than 20. landscape architecture has also around that figure(maybe slightly more), whereas industrial design consists only 2 chinese students, weird huh? <this is for my batch, but the juniors seems more or less of the same numbers>
About the pointer, to be safe, it's better to have 3.5+ or 3.6+ (this is what the majority of the architecture students got in stpm in my batch) in order to apply architecture, but this varies every year, depending on the overall stpm performance. Other uni like ukm may require higher pointer. so the best is to discuss with your caunselling teacher coz he/she will probably have the analysis results of what is the minimum pointer u need to enter for each course and uni. There is also a website (in chinese) 'quanshengweb' i think, it provides the infos of past few years of how many chinese per course, and total students per course, what is the min cgpa, max, and mod. so u can use it as a guideline but not sure whether the site is still working or not or under maintenance lol
about my fren who is studying 'building tech' in usm, his pointer is just 3.0+ but he put that as his first choice, so he got it. and his class is quite big. i think 80+ ppl in that course. wow that's a lot!
some got regret, some enjoying their course very much.. depends on oneself
Added on December 15, 2008, 4:13 pmya lo..it's a burden to study far away from hometown especially when the bus fare keeping to hike up and cost of living is kinda high
and yes, one more thing, if fail in stpm pengajian am, then no more chance to enter public uni d coz that's the 'must' basic requirement
and yes, undeniable, f6 is not easy and kinda tough..
like latios said, sometimes depends on luck also ..
But i know f6 cert is widely recognised, most uni will accept, just that they didn't state it out maybe it's less popular compared to A-level , for example:
pre-university qualification: A-levels, SAM, etc etc and its [/B]equivalent [
.
so the 'equivalence' here mayb refer to stpm etc whch are not listed out but for this case, we got to contact the college or uni to confirm.
Yeah, perhaps STPM is usable in oversea universities, who knows (for local is surely accepted). Nobody knows why, but studying Form 6 is another way for us to get into local universities (include private).
And, macamtakada, STPM is in Malay, for some science subjects, like Maths S and Maths T, it will be in English.
