Hi guys, SPM student tumpang thread tanya

Here is my question. If you have good grades(extremely good one), and your parents can afford, which would be better, IPTA or IPTS? (For IPTS I mean Nottingham and Monash)

The course I am opting for is either mechanical/civil engineering. Of course, if I go to IPTA, good ones like UM, UPM are preferable. However, from what I heard/ observed, you can't get into those reputable IPTAs easily, not even if you have high CGPA in Form 6. Maybe the case would be different for engineering courses or matriculation students. Anyone can clarify this?

Or would it be better if I go straight to Nottingham or Monash, where the quality of education of engineering is ensured and quicker enrollment? (1 year of January intake Pre-u, next year start course)

With the results of >7A+ and straight As in trials my best bet should be overseas scholarships. But we can't guarantee that. Some say I could have done well in Form 6/matriculation and hope for good IPTAs but also we can't be sure. Heaven knows if I will stray off course in my Form 6 and did really bad And I don't really like my future to be decided by someone else..

So.... feeling undecided about the future, therefore need extra views and opinions from seniors to clear my doubts Thanks in advance for your help
