Updated: 20 August 2010

For 2009, I started a section on education help from March till June. However, I continue to receive inquiries on education-related topics, and may be opening a separate blog/website on that later. Meanwhile, I decided to start the education help earlier, starting this month. I’ve also opened a Facebook Page, so readers who use FB can check out updates there.

Due to the length of the information, I’ve split the content of this page into 6 categories. Refer the categories below.

    • poobalan says:

      check if both have MQA qualifications. UTAR is of course cheaper. do check out the facillities and lecturer qualifications. that is very important.

  8. yan says:

  9. divya says:

    sir,vanakkam.

    my result in spm not as my target or expectation.i had stated below,
    bm:AI, bi:B3, maths:A1, sej:A2, pendidikan moral:A2, add maths:B4, phy:C5,
    bio:C5,che:C5,p.a:B4, est:B3. My question is,i had applied for pharmacy course at ipta.Are there any bright chances for me to get place in ipta?Other than that,i also had applied for unikl,unisel and also foe university malaya medical centre.

    • poobalan says:

      hi,

      it looks a bit hard for IPTA since your science subjects all credits only. pray for the best.

      if in private, some ask for A or strong credit in bio/chemistry

  10. divya says:

    so sir,what are other option that i can look in?suggest me few other way that i can try to.thankz.

    • poobalan says:

      well, look for other science related programs that may interest you – biomedicine, applied sciences, etc. i notice your PA got getter results that sciences subjects. PErhaps accounting is more interesting for you?

  11. mugi says:

    i have just finished my spm . bm b4, bi a2, maths a1, sej a1 ,moral a2,fizik a2 chem b3, add maths b3, est b3,bio b4 ,bt b4 ,kesuasteraan bt b4.Can i get diploma programme in local u and i applied for petronas scholarship and did i have chance to get it

  12. Vikneswaran says:

    Sir,

    Just A Request Can u Cr8 Another Thread For STPM Tuitions in Penang Or Malaysia n also for SPM too.. Please Consider My request sir… Coz Im going to start my form 6 this year in penang… so i need to know about best tuition in penang …. Im gonna be doing BIO-CHEM, PA, Pure Maths and MUET

    • poobalan says:

      hi, the reason i running the post for post-SPM/STPM is because lack of centralised, up-to-date info for these group. this info is critical and affects students nationwide.

      but for things like tuition, its localised to certain area only. you can get info from school teachers, senior students in upper six, neighbors etc. also, there are some websites that handle such requests. try googling.

  13. jay raj says:

    hello,sir…
    as shown below tis my result sir,

    bm:4b, mm:5c ,bi:6c, p.moral:4b, est:6c, chemistry:8e, physic:7d, ad.maths:9g, sej:9g, p.akaun:9g

    wat course i can take sir?

    • poobalan says:

      that depends on your interest. you can list down few careers that you want to follow. however, your sciences and accounts subjects didnt get credits. so, you have to think carefully – what are you interested in?

      you got min 5 credits, so try applying for politeknik or kolej komuniti. see my “application” page for the details. if the courses doesn’t interest you, then have to try private college.

  14. divya says:

    sir,i also had applied for other courses such as biotech,physioteraphy,radiography and medical lab tech.are there any bright chances for me to get that courses?thankz sir.i’m waiting for your reply.

    • poobalan says:

      well, this are popular courses now. as i mentioned earlier, your sciences subjects now so strong, so its hard to say if can get or not.

  15. divya says:

    k.sir.thankz for ur info n guidance..sir,so wat are the other oppurturnities for me.

  16. divya says:

    sir,why didnt have any reply.i’m waiting for your reply sir….

  17. divya says:

    i have no interest in polytechnic sir………n oso dun wan pursue form6…….sory to disturb u sir……..

    • poobalan says:

      well, then only choice is IPTA or IPTS. since you applied for local u, wait for the results. if not successful, can appeal. if still not successful, you go from private college – either a-levels, other pre-u, foundation or diploma.

  18. mugilan says:

    thank you for the reply.one more question for u.Can i apply for space utm with this result

    • poobalan says:

      yes you can. but spaceutm is for part-timers, so better you find a job. if not, its a waste of time because to finish a diploma/degree will take a long time.

  19. divya says:

    thankz……so much….for ur guidance sir…..its very useful for me………..thankz again n good luck for your good attempts….carry on sir………

  20. mugi says:

    thank you again sir.2 more questions sir.What is the advantage and diadvantage of polytechnics?i also applied for alam and there any chance i can get it?If i get it, when i will be notified?

    • poobalan says:

      hi,

      advantages – it offers a chance for those who did not get IPTAs and cheaper than private colleges since owned by govt. there are many politeknik, so can try apply one nearer to hometown to save cost. after poli, can either go to work or apply for IPTA with entry to year 2 – means you do another 1-2 years in IPTA and get degree.

      disadvantages – slightly longer route to degree. not all courses are offered. more focus on business, engineering, IT, etc with hands-on. applying for IPTA degree program after poli is not guaranteed.

      ALAM – not sure. hope for the best. notification, i guess within the next month or so. intake is june right? pls check their website.

  21. mugilan says:

    thank you again sir. What is the advantage and diadvanatage of joining a polytechnics?i also apply alam for marine engineering and there is any chance of getting it and when i will be notified if i get it?

  22. paneer says:

    Dear Mr.Poobalan,

    This is the first time I came accross this blog. In the pahang state where i live there is little knowledge about the malaysian indian philanthropist who are striving hard to bring up the status quo of indians of all levels. This is something to honour and cherish but sadly to say that there is no direct connection between the needy and the donor.
    What we need is more meetings,forums or any form of means to pool the needys together to enlighten them of the existance of these philathropist.
    These good samaritans must be known to the public so as to perform their duties well.
    We must eradicate red tapes.
    This is the current underlying problem.
    Your initiative and effort is much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    • poobalan says:

      Dear sir,

      thank you for visiting my blog and for the kind words. Not only in Pahang, even some other states also have problem of information dissemination. Some news do appear via tamil papers, while the IT savvy make use of the Internet. I think its only a matter of time before the Internet becomes a main medium to facilitate communication between the under-served and the donor/volunteers. Only problem is that we will need a website/blog in Tamil to get more participation.

      Currently, there’s a few avenues in the cyberworld – UMIC, MiClub, MindBB and some groups in Facebook. It will be good if more people are aware of such forums to exchange information and generate awareness of social issues.

      I think there’s another reason too why there’s less news about philanthropists. Once news gets out about a good samaritan, everyone makes a beeline to grab the fellow. One can be easily overwhelmed by the number of appeals and pleas, be it from schools, single parents, people with illness, direct selling agents, political parties, NGOs etc. So, some prefer to be low profile and help out within their areas only.

  23. nisha says:

    I am a spm holder. i’m REALLY interested to do MBSS at overseas at reasonable fees. My result are BM A2, BI A1, MATHS A1, SEJARAH 3B , MORAL 4B, BIOLOGY 5C, CHEMISTRY 5C, PHYSICS 6C, EST 4B , ADD MATHS 4B . sir, can i get information about it.

    • poobalan says:

      Hi, you can approach some of the agents who deal with placement in foreign university. make sure they are registered with MOHE. Usual country with “reasonable fees” are ukraine, russia, indonesia. other countries – egypt, ireland, india, uk. etc.

      but, i think need to check if can qualify with the results you have.

  24. Paula says:

    I got 11 A’s…8a1 and 3 a2 for add math, bio and bible knowledge. I didn’t get matrikulasi and I went for JPA interview but maybe i won’t get also. I am just frustrated and worried bcos my parents cannot afford to support me study in private college. My dad’s the only one working. I was just curious what else choices do i have. I applied IPTA but i didn’t check the recent interview thing(the UTM) and I also hear news that IPTA result will come out in May.

  25. kishok says:

    sir i just finished m stpm.. i got bm-a2 bi-a1 maths-a1 moral-a1 phy-c5 chem-b4 sej-c5 est-b3 add math-c5 bio-c5.. im confused on my further education..n my dad wants me 2 be a pilot..is ther any possibilities for me to be a pilot? besides i applied for air force.

    • poobalan says:

      hi,

      you mentioned finished STPM, but you provided SPM results. anyway, to be pilot you have to take a license, and not neccessary to study a degree program. you can try reading my replies to similar question asked by other students. try the “application”, “scholarship”, “guidance” pages. There’s few way to go about it:
      – via airline companies – AirAsia is taking candidates now. refer to their blog or refer “scholarship” page. other companies are mas, sia, etc.
      – via flying academies. there a few in malaysia. http://www.dca.gov.my has a list and also more info on becoming a pilot.

    Vanakam…
    My name is Inthiran from johor..
    actually im a community college student, i took electrical course over there, and my final cgpa is 3.83,
    Now im in unikl-mimet taking dip in marine electric and electronic eng, this is my first semester, i want to know bout the scholarship which i can get, itz doesnt matter if the certain marine company bonds me. can sir find for me a good solution????

    • poobalan says:

      Vanakkam Inthiran,

      Congrats on getting good results for your certificate. I hope you will do well in diploma and beyond.

      Scholarships appear during certain periods only – after major examinations, during university application and intakes, and sometimes aligned to foreign university intakes.

      So, regardless of what are you study, you have to be alert most of the time.

      For your case, you can apply for those that offer scholarships for electrical eng as your diploma is a specialised field in E&E. however, since you are doing diploma, not many scholarships around. The other options are PTPTN loan, and Yayasan Johor (since you are from there). You can also try other state funds if your one of your parents is born in that state (like selangor, perak, malacca, NS).

      Marine related industry include MISC, port-related like PTP, defence related like MINDEF, etc. So, you have to survey around this companies.

      If i get any info, i’ll post in the blog and forums.

      • Inthiran says:

        Thank you for the information sir.
        After my diploma in marine E&E where should I go to continue my further studies on degree, is that better i do in malaysia or abroad, and with this can sir please explain me the chances of getting job in the field im in? i need a clear view sir…

        • poobalan says:

          well, it depends on how many places are offering such course. as long as the university and course is recognised, then its fine. secondly, it also depends on where you plan to work – local or overseas. if local, the course should have MQA approval.

          job wise – its not a well known field, but there’s always potential for job with oil and gas companies, underwater cable companies, ports, research institutes, defense ministry, government sector, universities, etc.

  27. Indian says:

    Sorry sir, i forget smthg….
    is there any kind of membership in this page so i can be a member?

  28. nisha says:

    vanakam sir. i have offered to study diploma pengurusan(dengan kerjasama usm) and then continue to ijazah sarjana muda pengurusan(kepujian)usm. its 4 1/2 yrs program. sir,can i know wat is this course about and wat will be my job?

    • poobalan says:

      well, management students usually work as admin executives, in sales, finance, logistics, accounts, marketing, assistant manager, etc – usually in an office environment. the job scope will cover areas like office administration, HR, finance, business admin, general IT etc. usually, in a degree program, the student will do majoring (specialisation) like Finance, HR, Law, IT, e-commerce, International Business, and so on.

  31. geetha says:

    helo sir
    im geetha here
    i juz received 1 offer from kolej yayasan melaka. so i juz wan to know the qualities of thiz college.. is that piravate or goverment n is tat international college..plz tel me bout the college

    • poobalan says:

      Hi Geetha,

      1. its a college under malacca government. not sure if fully funded or semi-government.
      2. I’m not sure what you mean by international college. but its not a college that have branches in other countries and its not a branch of foreign college. so in that sense, its not an international college. it may have some foreign students studying.

      I’m not sure how you got the offer. didn’t you survey first before applying? are you a malaccan? if possible, go to the kolej and see the environment and facilities.

      • geetha says:

        hye sir..act im 4m perak nt melaka… itz tat gud college to study ter…n i gt 2 offer. 1is for pendidikan n another is 4 bachelor of english…so can u suggest me either i must wait 4 my offer on june for ipta or i just take this oppurtiny..
        n did the college gv me work after i finish my studies

        • poobalan says:

          Hi,

          actually i never heard of this college before. since you are from perak, its a bit far to visit the place, but i think you should go and have a look first. see the type of facilities, students, lecturers over there. this weekend is a bit long holiday due to workers day on may 1. so, maybe you can get some family members to visit melaka. go in the morning and can return on same day.

          IPTA intake in july but results hopefully out by end of may. of course, there you may not get a course that you like. so, if possible, enrol in college, pay as minimum as possible. second, postponee joining the college until july. if get place in IPTA then you reject the college offer.

          the college offer work? i don’t know of any college that offers work to its graduating students except as tutors, counsellors, or marketing staff. i also don’t believe all those that say job is guaranteed. better you get some documents or letter saying you will be offered a job.

        • geetha says:

          wtz ur opinion on kasturi college sir..

          • poobalan says:

            well, they used to be well known tuition center in KL. now they venture into higher education, i think last 5 years or so. i’m not sure about the programs the offer, but got accounting i think.

            other than hearing them in radio, i don’t know much.

            BUT – the same criteria below applies to all the colleges:

            1. Visit the place and see the facilities – classroom, computer lab, internet, library, cafe, study areas, WIFI etc. if some say they have online access to e-libraries, ask to show.
            2. talk to the students and lecturers. Don’t believe the marketing or counsellors 100%.
            3. verify the MQA and MOHE approval codes. Also check if recognised by JPA. For professional qualifications, if a colleges claims it offers ACCA, can check with ACCA Global for verification.
            4. Those that offer twinning program – check out the foreign uni whether its reliable or not.

        • geetha says:

          sir i gt A in eco…so if i didnt gt teaching can i do eco ten do teaching…n is tat so hw many years tat i need to finish my degree…or i just go to any private college to do teaching

          • poobalan says:

            well, normal degree will take 4 years. after that, you have to apply for KLPI (course for graduates) which is one year. so total is 5 years. note that getting KPLI place is not easy as many people apply to be teachers.

        • geetha says:

          here my stpm result
          eco 1A
          bm 1Bplus
          sastera 1B

          so wic course should i do sir

        • geetha says:

          i wan do teaching…so hw sir

    • geetha says:

      wel im intres in teaching….wil i gt the place n if nt wt should i do sir

      • poobalan says:

        did you apply for IPTA for teaching course?

      • geetha says:

        no i didnt gt..bt i went to munysi exam..but one of my friend also didnt get the medsi offer even she gt a good result in stpm n she is in science stream…so do u think itz hard for me to gt the offer..if i didnt get wt should i do sir…any idea

        • poobalan says:

          if you didn’t get medsi interview, that means not successful for education degree application. the munsyi test is for USM applicants only.

          i think wait for IPTA results to come out first.

        • geetha says:

          hye sir…hru
          wel sir nw im fail 2 gt upsi coz they didnt col me for temuduga…so i think im fail for teaching….
          so did i hv another way to go for teaching line

          sir i also gt one offer from usm for pengurusan..
          so do u think i must go for this or wait for my ipta result…hw sir

          • poobalan says:

            hi,

            another option for teaching line (and if you want to work in govt school) is to apply for bachelor in education at UNITAR or UNISEL. both are recognised by govt.

            your USM offer for pengurusan is for diploma? well if you want to take it, better decide fast and inform them because if not they won’t process your other IPTA application.

            the choice is yours. if you want to stick with education, then no point going to pengurusan (management) as it will take longer to go into teaching line. if reject USM offer, then you have to wait for other IPTA results. if didn’t get any, then how? so, its a risk but it comes back to what you want to do.

  32. nisha says:

    hello sir, can i know information about diploma in mikrobiology and asasi sains hayat? wat will be the scope of learning and the job oppurtunities?

  33. narmatha says:

    sir,
    i get offer to study diploma in IT coures at Multimedia University.Sir can u tell ur opinion about tis u and job oppurtunities in tis field.did i take a right choice and how about loan /biasiswa application for this university given.hoping for good advise and god bless u sir.

    • poobalan says:

      diploma in IT is OK. even though got lots of people doing IT, there should be something that you know – no matter what you study, good grades is important. secondly, the subjects and projects you do in the course must be beneficial and useful for working life. learn as much as new things possible in IT. don’t limit yourself to classroom only. and don’t waste time just hanging out, because once the time is gone, you won’t get it back.

      IT jobs are so many in the market. from application development to operation supports, call center, multimedia content developer, sales, product support, website development, mobile applications, networking & infrastructure.

  34. Asha says:

    Hi , I got 8A1 and 2 A2 for spm. For stpm i got 2 A for PA and chemistry. b+ for bio and C+ for pure maths. I am intending to do bachelor of pharmacy 4+0 la trobe university programme in Masterskill. What do u think bout this college. Is it established.

    • poobalan says:

      Hi Asha,

      I have to replied to you in another page. Read it at :

      http://poobalan.com/blog/education-help/list/#comment-11420

      Masterskill is becoming famous due to the healthcare courses.

      There’s always some good things and bad things about any college. usual comment is the quality of students, quality of teaching and education. most colleges promote easier-than-usual “passing” in exams to attract students and business. important thing is to visit the place and check out the facilities and lecturers.

      I hear that pharmacy courses are expensive in malaysia, especially if twinning with foreign university. it may be cheaper to study in indonesia, for example.

      the course not recognised by JPA so can’t get govt job at the moment.

  35. mugi says:

    I has been called for interview at ungku omar polytechnics to pursue diploma in marine engineering .Can i know if this is good for my future?How toapply for lower six

  36. priyanka says:

    Hi sir,good evening! i need you to clear up my doubts on tertiary studies… are we able to continue degree programme in LOCAL UNIVERSITIES after doing diploma in PRIVATE COLLEGES or UNIVERSITIES? Hope you can help me out with this..thank you!

    • poobalan says:

      as far as i know, if you finished diploma in private college, you have no chance of continuing degree in public university, unless the diploma is recognised by the public university. i don’t know of any diploma in IPTS which is recognised by IPTA in order to continue degree, maybe it exists, but i never heard before. i’m not sure if OUM/UNISEL/UNITEN/UNITAR diploma is accepted.

      the only option is to study part time via distance learning or apply for IPTA using SPM/STPM results or via matrikulasi/politeknik results.

  37. THAYA says:

    hi,sir vanakkam. jz nw i finish my spm exam. my result is not good. i jz get 2 credit in tamil and psv n jz pass in other 3 subject ; bm, sej and prinsip akaun. I did know wht 2 do with my result. I already apply 4 kolej komuniti bt i m nt qualify. some of my teachers are advise me 2 return my spm bt i m nt intresting. Jz i know about this web page n nw i realy need ur guiedenss sir… plz help me sir…

    • poobalan says:

      1. i would agree with your teachers. for your future, better get credit for BM, Eng, and Maths. So please resit at least those three papers. forget about the past results and focus on getting better result this time.

      2. in the mean time, you can apply for MLVK programs but it depends on what you are interested. MLVK programs are skill-based programs meaning you will get a cert like in kolej komuniti, but they have MLVK approval. From there you can try do diploma later.

      3. think carefully on what you want to do. what is your ambition or plans?

      • thaya says:

        thank you sir. i m intrest in hotel management. sir after attending cert course in MLVK is it can i do diploma without crediti in bm? sir, if wan do cert or diploma in hotel management what i have to do…can u tell me the way…

        • poobalan says:

          for diploma in public uni/college, must have credit in BM.

          hotel mgmt – there are few colleges that offer this- famous colleges and small colleges too, you can survey around.

          if you are looking to study in private all the time, then the BM is no problem. but if later want to enter local university, no chance if BM no credit.

    • poobalan says:

      Hi, pls tell her to visit MOE website, they were having some scholarships for athletes. other than that, she can try for ptptn loan, fund from state governments (depends which state she is from).

      sports related courses – i seldom hear of it, unless in IPTAs. not sure of private colleges that offer such programs.

      Dr Subramaniam also urged those who had appealed to submit a copy to the Human Resources Minister’s office at Level 9, Blok D3, Kompleks D, 62530 Putrajaya.

    Hi sir,

    I finished my SPM on year 2006. Now im at Sultan Abdul Halim Teacher Training college. This is my 1st year of degree in education. Sir, im planning to do diploma in any other courses related to mass comm in private colleges soon after i finish my degree in education. Is there any possibilities i succeed in mass comm? i may posted to rural areas? how can i pursue diploma in mass comm if that happens?

    Thank u sir..

    • poobalan says:

      i think you have to ask yourself why you are doing degree in education and yet, later want to do dip in mass comm. as for posting, that is subject to MOE where they want to post you. Ultimately, you can decide not to do teaching, and pursue different course of study after graduating -either enrol in diploma mass comm or other programs.

      studying while working means you have to sacrifice a lot and most likely no sponsors also. you can still take diploma in mass comm via distance learning like OUM programmes.

    • poobalan says:

      yah, i think you can continue with a-levels as you got 10As. a-levels shouldn’t be a problem.

      after a-levels, you can apply to any of the private uni (local or overseas) to do medic.

    good evening sir.
    im 2005 spm leaver and now im 21 yrs old.
    2006 i studied at IIC dip. in early childhood education.
    but after a year i quit (lost interests)
    2008 i decided to study at UniKL dip in IT.
    but after 1 sem i quit coz my cgpa lower than 2.
    now im planning to take medic courses such as pharmacy n nursing.
    but i prefer pharmacy.
    the problem is,my spm qualification is not good enough to take pharmacy.
    my dad suggested me to apply akademi al-quran medic malaysia.
    the link is here http://www.quranmedic.my
    im thinking of taking foundation in pharmacy at MAHSA becoz of my bad result.
    but do u think i still have the chance to take the foundation,after that further my study overseas.
    ur answers and comments will highly aprreciated.
    thank you. have a great day.

    my result : BM,BI – A1 | PI,EST,HISTORY – B4 | MATH – C5 |
    PHY,BIO,CHEMI – D7 | ADDMTH – E8

    • poobalan says:

      Hi,

      1. looking at your SPM results, you have to honestly ask yourself if you are qualified or capable to study pharmacy other medic related coursed. you got D7 for all the critical subjects, meaning maybe your interest and aptitude is not in those areas. please rethink carefully in order to not waste more money. the final decision is yours of course, but take some time to analyse and get counseling. try identify which area your skills and interests lie.

      2. al quran medic is a placement company. they arrange for students to study in foreign universities like Egypt.

      3. MAHSA is ok, but you have to refer to them if can study there with the results. I think since D7 for bio and chemistry, very difficult.

  46. ajith says:

    sir,cn i aplly 4 any loan 2 do my alvls??and whrs the best private uni 2 do medic n cn i apply local uni using alvls??

    • poobalan says:

      i’m not sure about loan for a levels, because its not a university programme. its a pre-uni programme only. Anyway, if you apply loan for a-levels, then how about the degree itself? can try MIED in case they can help out. i’m not sure about the best medic uni because locally, there’s no rating for that. and no, you cannot apply to local PUBLIC uni using a-levels. A-levels can be used in private uni and colleges only.

  48. samyu mano says:

    sir my brother is interested in doing it programme. he is just 16 years old. he wants to knw more about it such as the demands in future.career prospects,salaries 4 degree holders??
    thank you

    • poobalan says:

      IT is a good field – ever expanding. so, every 6 months or so, new technology will appear. if your brother is interested to work in such challenging environment, then ok. he should have strong skill in logical thinking, maths, critical thinking. IT is also very big area – there’s job in software development, IT security, multimedia, networks, communication, marketing, training, sales, hardware, etc.

      Just caution him that IT is not about able to use Internet, chatting, FB, playing games, or using Microsoft office only 🙂 Lots of students misunderstand IT and end up regretting joining such program.

      Demand is always there as IT is involved in very industry – medicine, construction, production, banking, politics, media etc. Salary for degree holders – depend on where you work, what area, your qualifications etc. can range from 1600 to 2200 for fresh graduates.

      • samyu mano says:

        thank u very much sir.
        how about logistic management. what is this programme about??

        • poobalan says:

          logistic management usually deals with planning, scheduling, transportation, warehousing, inventory, and so on. its also an expanding area of career.

          Read a bit on it at this link: SMETimes

    sir i got a elder sister(relative) who just finished stpm and score 2b+,2c+.please give some information wha to do now bwcause she forget to apply upu

    • poobalan says:

      Hi Mugi,

      I really can’t understand how someone can forget applying for UPU. Anyway, its too late to worry about that now. What she can do is wait for December intake in certain universities/politekniks or go for private college now. or wait till next year’s UPU intake. She can also try for overseas colleges/universities.

      Refer here for details of december intake for IPTA. its just a guideline and your sister have to keep an eye on the university websites for the actual offer date.

    dear sir..i gt 10 a’s in my spm2007 n i pasd my matrix wit 3.44 n got comp science in unimas…i don think 2 go tat far as its worthless..i realy feel disapointed n need ur help…my parents n nt tat educated n i realy study hard 4 thm n d future..n im disapointed nw..wat should i do??? should i go 4 private 2 stdy medicine or other health science course..pls sir help me..tanx 4 ur time sir

    • poobalan says:

      hi,

      what where you expecting to get? i guess comp science was not your first choice?

      if you go to private, how to fund the studies? PTPTN?

      • vin says:

        tanx 4 d reply sir..im doing part time as motel receptionist here n able 2 online nw..i even gt put physio n emergency medicine..bt i got out of my choice..if i go 2 private realy hv 2 tk jpa or ptptn..bt should i go 4 private n reject tis course?pls sir help me..as time pas im keep on losing hope..

        • poobalan says:

          good of you to work part-time! i appreciate that effort.

          well, if your interest is in medical or healthcare, then Comp Science is not your choice. If you really interested to study in those fields, then go for private sector. with your SPM2007 result, possible to get partial scholarships – try SEGI, UTAR, TARC, AIMST, UNIKL, Masterskill, MAHSA, UCSI, KDU etc. see who offer the best package and quality education. plus you can cover the balance with PTPTN. BUT push for scholarship/fee waiver first 🙂

          if you don’t mind comp science, then give it a try. comp science also have good job prospects and career.

          again, it comes down to your interest.

            hi,

            i strongly suggest you talk to few more people. I’m certainly not the best person to advise you. you should take to teachers, counsellors, the college/uni representatives, surf the net and so. attend career fair (there’s one in mid valley this weekend i think). its good to keep the options open and gather much info from as many source as possible.
