Well, for those who got shortlisted for test – congrats!

I heard that its an objective type of questions and focuses on your apptitude/personality etc. Its basically to gauge if you are suitable for the course you applied for.

All the best!

Chance of getting: 3500/26,635 = 13%, meaning one out of every 7.6 person will get a place in USM.

Selection trial tomorrow for entry into USM

GEORGE TOWN: The 26,635 students who applied to enter apex-status Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) must not miss the Malaysian University Selection Inventory (Munsyl) special assessment test tomorrow.

USM deputy vice-chancellor (Academic and International Affairs) Prof Ahmad Shukri Mustapa Kamal said the test would enable them to select applicants who were suitable for the course they had opted for.

“Anyone who misses the test will miss a chance to study in USM. It’s just a one-hour test and it is to help the university and applicants make the right choice.”

He said USM had selected 117 locations nationwide for the applicants to attend the assessment tomorrow.

“Only 3,500 applicants will be picked to enrol in the university. The applicants will know their status at the end of this month.”

Prof Ahmad Shukri said unsuccessful applicants would have their applications submitted to the University Admission Unit (UPU) for other public universities.

He said those sitting for the Munsyl must print the attending slip from www.usm.my, bring their identification card, pencils and erasers to sit for the assessment.

“The location for them to sit the assessment can be found online,” he said, adding that the university had sent out SMSes to the candidates.

Sir, what should I need to wear for the test?

Posted on April 24th, 2010

poobalan says:

hi peter,

always remember that you are no more in school. so be formal (pants, shirt, and shoes), and keep a tie as a spare in case you are asked to wear it.

poobalan says:

Lavanesh says:

Sir, I too, like mugesh, didn’t print my application form and neither did I send an application with any documents by post. All I did was submit the application online and now I’m shortlisted for the test. I tried logging into the pohonusm website to access the form but it says “Maaf, semakan untuk kategori Diploma telah ditutup.” Do I need to send any documens by pst to USM? If yes, how can i get a copy of my application form and what are the required documents? Thank you.

Posted on April 7th, 2011

poobalan says:

lavanesh and mugesh,

to avoid confusion and problem, try to contact usm admissions dept and get their advice. their contact number is at: https://pohon.usm.my/default.asp?daftar=5

from what i remember, need not post anything, but you should have printed your application form for future reference.

Thulasi says:

Hi sir, I want to know when the munsyi result will come out? I heard that Munsyi and Medsi are same kind of exams and it`s just the name only different. Is that so? If I`ve already sit for munsyi do I need to sit for Medsi also? I need your help.

Posted on April 11th, 2011

poobalan says:

for munsyi results, pls check at usm website.

medsi and munsyi is similar, but its offered by different uni for different purpose. munsyi is for usm, while medsi is for teaching program under upu. YES, you must attend if asked to go.

edwin says:

sir, i want to ask that if i got an offer from usm and i reject it, then will i get a place from upu ? quite confusing because my counselling teacher in school told me that we cannot reject usm offer,once rejected,and u won’t be consider by upu also .here is the link.http://ubkst.blogspot.com/2010/03/pengumuman-penting-utk-lepasan-stpm.html

poobalan says:

last year there were some confusion. if you are offered and accept the place in USM, your name will be removed from UPU list. by right, there’s no blacklisting. but if the choice you apply under UPU is having tough competition, you may not get a place under UPU.
