IMHO
I come from IPTA and have been involved in accreditation business in my case for engineering as opposed to Azrimy for Architecture.

The difference between IPTA and IPTS is in the environmental setting of the institutions. The IPTA mainly have ppl who cannot afford to go to IPTS. Therefore the socioeconomic environment is different.

IPTS due to business reasons do not invest in education and facilities as much as IPTA. Therefore most facilities and infra of IPTS is inferior to IPTA, as also education syllabus and ppl.

However due to socioeconomic status of students in IPTS there is easier to make connections in business etc. Thus the student who in this line in IPTS will have better connections etc and will be more successful in this line of work as opposed the technical oriented architecture/engineering where due to their limited exposure (in IPTS) will make them fail or have to work harder then IPTA counterpart.

You can rechecke your final exams question right? So do it

Back to the 1st post where bright minds are attracted to the uni due to better research environment. This bright minds are not good teachers but will give you better facts as they are more current then their peers who teach 30-40 hrs a week. Teaching style is different from lect. to lect; they are one way communicators in UM, USM, UKM and UPM as also from Nottingham, Monash etc.

It you are a dynamic and sporting person you will excel anywhere that you go (if you study). If you're quiet and introvert, you can also excel.

but as I mentioned earlier if you do not have the right equipment (technical field) then the graduates produced are 'tong kosong'; can talk only the moment work need to be done all shy away.
