PUTRAJAYA: The Higher Education Ministry is going on a publicity drive to ensure that everyone who qualifies goes on to a public tertiary education institution (IPTA).
“We want to reduce incidents of students making mistakes when filling up forms and educate them on choosing the right programmes,” said Higher Education Department director-general Prof Datuk Dr Radin Umar Radin Sohadi.
The ministry will hold its fifth annual higher education carnival, Jom Masuk U, from Jan 17 to April 5. It will counsel parents and students on career guidance and provide information on educational opportunities including new programmes at IPTA.
“Students must be realistic when choosing a university and programme to increase their chances of getting into the courses they want,” said Prof Radin.
The ministry is holding its online recruitment process in stages. In the first phase, post-SPM and STPM students are allowed to pre-register by giving their personal details.
In the second phase, students fill in their top eight choices for institutions and courses of study. After the examination results are released, students are allowed to change their options.
Jom Masuk U will be held in Kuala Lumpur on Jan 17 and Jan 18, Kangar on Jan 31 and Feb 1, Kota Kinabalu on Feb 14 and 15, Kuantan on Feb 28 to March 1, Malacca on March 14 and 15, Penang on March 22 and 23, Kuching on March 28 and 29 and Johor Baru on April 4 and 5.
All 20 public universities as well as the various agencies under the ministry such as the National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) and the Malaysian Qualifications Agency will be participating.
