Basic steps to apply IPTA
1. Calculate your CGPA (best 4 subjects)
2. Check with Syarat AM for IPTA
– generally, minimum CGPA 2.00, at least two subjects C, at least C in PA
– MUET Level 1 at least
3. Check Syarat KHAS for IPTA
– some courses have specific rules – like need to get minimum B for science subjects, or need to attend interview etc.
4. Short list courses that you fulfill in terms of Syarat AM and KHAS
– need to check UPU list of subjects : https://online.mohe.gov.my/upu/emas/index_epanduan.php
5. Refer to guideline on cut-off marks (means relevant CGPA needed to get a place in that course). Remember that this is a GUIDELINE prepared by hardworking volunteers. Government doesn’t provide such help. Refer to stpmindians.blogspot.com or quansheng.org
– further short list the courses by removing courses that your CGPA doesn’t qualify.
6. Pick the best 8 after talking to others – teachers, people working in that field, counsellors.
7. Apply via UPU and keep you fingers crossed. Praying helps too.
8. IF you are not able to meet IPTA requirements, the option are to study in IPTS. However, most IPTS also follow MOHE guidelines, meaning minimum 2.00 CGPA and 2 principal passes.
– Your options are to check with the relevant IPTS first if can enter degree program with your results. MAKE sure program is MQA accredited and you get confirmation from IPTS in written form. Cross check with PTPTN if can apply loan.
– If can’t do degree program directly, then next option is to enrol in diploma (using SPM results) or foundation (using SPM/STPM results). Think of this as a  workaround, and not a failure. The path to education is always there, may be just take a bit longer than others.

Hi sir….im ros here…today i get my spm result… I get b+ in my bm,moral n bt, c+ in bi, D ln my mt n bio, E in phy,chem n sj, n 9G in admths…sir, cn u tell me which course i cn apply….but i prefer 2 do IT sir…plz tel me sir
Hi Roja,
IT is a wide area of study. some of it involve really technical stuff while others involve element of business, maths, bio, engineering, legal etc. your sciences/maths results are not good, so i may suggest for some e-commerce, business IT, multimedia (if you are the arty creative type).
you got only 4 credits, so you have to take diploma first.
hello…..i achieved 9a’s and one b+ for physics…..looks like jpa scholarship needs at least 9 A- including physics…..ireli need to do something…..i want to do medicine…..i am very confused right now…can u help me?
Hi Komagan,
JPA requirements are the minimum, so if you can’t fulfill that, better go for other options.
if you still want to do medicine, then you have to look at IPTS or continue Form6.
Hi sir …i got 7As , B+ for physics , chemistry , biology , english and C+ for add maths . I’m interested to become a doctor . Is it possible to enrol in matriculation program or obtain a scholarship ?
hi shankar,
you can pursue your ambition, but matriculation is closed. you can try for foundation in the IPTS. JPA PILN scholarship is for those with 9A- and above. other scholarships – slim chance but just give a try.
i’ve compiled a list of IPTS at http://poobalan.com/blog/education-help/list/ and there’s also list of companies that deal with students placement at: http://poobalan.com/blog/education-help/websites/ which you can contact to get more idea.
Sir, I’m a Foundation in Engineering and Science student from a private university. I will be finishing my foundation by July and would like to enter public university for degree. My question is, will I need to wait till November/December to apply using UPU pin number, obtained from BSN, under ‘Lepasan Diploma/setaraf’ and wait till next June, together with STPM students, for the IPTA entrance result?
Hi Eswaran,
you need to check first if your foundation is accepted by the IPTA. can refer to UPU or JPA or the IPTA itself.
yes, if can apply, you need to wait because your foundation results are not available so you can’t enter IPTA first.
Sir, is it normal for the comments to not publish first before you reply to that comments? I’m quite confuse..
Hi Eswaran,
sometimes i forgot to approve the comments BEFORE replying, so that’s why it gets confused. 🙂
And yes, i won’t approve the comment to be published UNTIL I’m ready with an answer for it.
hi sir,
saya mendapat 7A+,2A,1A- DAN 1B dalam spm 2009.saya hendak apply for ipta dan dalam permohonan kemasukan ipta terdapat markah CGPA n GPA. I dont know how to calculate it.. pls help me..
hi Thanisha,
Please refer to this guide on calculation:
http://upu.mohe.gov.my/portal/arkib/KAEDAH%20PENGIRAAN%20MERIT%20BAGI%20PROGRAM%20PENGAJIAN%20LEPASAN%20SPM_SETARAF.pdf
calculation depends on the subjects, if you can post here, then i can try help calculate for you.
sir i’m just curious..
if an indian student obtained 7A’s ( 3A+, 3A,1A-) and B+ for physics and biology is it still possible to get government matriculation? Application was done last yr already
Also is Diploma in Food Technology a good course? Can apply for Politeknik?
hi sarah,
main concern of matriculation is family background and academic results.
yeah, diploma in Food Tech is a good program as we are moving into producing quality food products especially in the halal sector. can apply in poli or IPTA or IPTS.
sir can i ask if i take my pre -university ( Cambridge A-level) in private college what are my chances to get into IPTA for degree course after A-levels? thanks
hi tina,
some say a-levels is accepted into IPTA but i haven’t seen any case so far. you should check with UPU or the IPTA you are interested in.
Hi sir….i got my results recently.i got 10as(5a+,4A,1a-).i m really confused as what to do.my parents want me to do medicine.i also applied jpa medicine and sime darby but sceptical of my chances because many are applying n are those with 10a+.any suggestions?i m not interested in engineering or maths related programmes.
hi rotuham,
its common that parents want the best for their child, but if you are not interested in medicine, it is you who is going to suffer for the next 5 or even 10 years (or even more). so you have to think carefully. you can still apply jpa for medic, and if after the program pendedahan kerjaya doktor, you can request to change course if you find medicine is not your cup of tea.
i can give many suggestions, but then its up to you. if you are not interested in maths/engineering, then only left with science-based program – health, applied science, allied sciences and so on. unless you want to go into arts – law, language, management etc.
HI SIR ,i obtain 3A’s include maths,c+ 4 physics ,c 4 +maths,& D 4 chemistry.is that i’m eligible to do engineering courses.?????????????????????????????????
hi tamil,
if in IPTA, chances are a bit slim, but you can still try for the diploma programs.
if in IPTS, you can do foundation if have at least 5 credits. or can do diploma first. or you can enrol in a-levels and then continue with degree in engineering.
your sciences subject results are about average, so are you sure on doing engineering?
Hi sir, i agree with u on that.its not that i am disinterested in medicine but the thing is that i have to wait for jpa or sime darby which will conclude in may.i am afraid i might miss out on march college intake n my brain already rusting.i am also in a dilemma as to take a levels, sam or matrikulasi.i m pretty optimistic on my matrikulasi chances though.btw u are doing an excellent job here.i really appreciate ur commitment.
rotuham,
that’s the risk students have to take. most uni/colleges don’t mind accepting students slightly late, or you can even enter later, together with plkn graduates.
i think matrics is a good bet as well. as for a-levels or sam, why not wait till the rest of the option are not feasible any more.
thanks! i like to believe that someone will benefit, and in turn, months or years down the lane, they will help others out. pay it forward kind of thing.
helo sir, im a stpm student.
can we apply local U based on subject ,not based on the total pointer.
hi geta,
the UPU guideline and IPTA rules are clear. you must get overall cgpa 2.00 above, must get a C in PA, and at least C in two other subjects.
Hi sir,when will we know the matriculation results and when will the intake begin precisely?
hi rotuham.
refer to their website!

Sir,
My name is B.Sivappriya and I’m from Bukit Mertajam. I’m a 2009 SPM leaver, I obtained 5 A+, 4 A, and 1 A- ( Pendidikan Moral)
for my spm results. I would like some help and insights regarding a few matters. Recently i applied for JPA scholarship, and I chose dentistry.
I would like to know my chances for being called for the interview and some help on preparing myself if being called for the interview.
If at all, I’m not called for the interview what will be the next step I should do? When should I appeal and what are best options for me ?
Thank you.
hi sivapriya,
i have replied to your email.
Hai sir, i’m stpm leaver 2009, i get my result 1 month ago.i get B-(pa),C(chem),C-(bio),f(maths.I want to pharmacy but my result does not meet the entry requirement for pharmacy degree.so i planned to do dip in pharm using my spm result, but is it a wise choice?what else i can do with this result? i also wana know what course is in demand now. please help me!
Nitha,
if you are really interested in pharmacy, then just do diploma or foundation, and later continue degree.
but if you have doubts, then based on your options, only chemistry is the best science subject (C). not many options.
course in demand – nursing and other health sciences, engineering, medicine, veterinary, IT, etc. all are in demand.
thanx for reply sir,but i’m still confuse. I like pharmacy,its my dads dream to, but as i have to start from diploma instead of degree, i’m confused whether to do the course or not. because if i take dip, its 3 years then continue degree 4 years, allover 7 years. thats quite long time for me to graduate.my father has retired and my family depends on me. my sis is frm 5 his year so my dad x spend all on me alone. so i want to complete my studies as soon as psssible and then work.i’m from a poor background,so i’m depending on ptptn loan to continue my studies..if i take foundation,degree in pharm cost 90k,its not affordable but if i cont fron dip, i believe i can get scholarship if i excel. niway with my result, i’m still eligible to do degree in course like business and hotel management.i’m science stream student and i x have even basic accounting so business scared me off. I like hotel management but i dont know whether its a good choice or not as i heard bad comments bout that course and the salary is low…
sir can u explain me more on this hotel management and business course..? what we can do if got degree in it, job prospectives,secured job or not and the starting salary for graduates in that field. some of my friends have interest in that field. maybe i can share wih them to….i think you can give better solution for this than anyone else. thank you
hi nitha,
for spm leavers, they can do diploma (2.5 to 3 years) and continue degree (1.5 -2.5 years). its not 3+4 as you mentioned, as most of the time, a diploma graduate will enter 2nd year of degree program or even 3rd of degree program.
the risk with taking diploma and hoping for scholarship for degree is that you may not get a degree. better to do foundation or pre-u like A-levels and then try degree or ptptn. anyways, if you take ptptn for diploma, can still take ptptn for degree but need to write to ptptn to inform them to postpone the paying back period.
to do business or mgmt, you don’t really need accounts. its pretty basic stuff and you can pick up the subject quite easily.
hotel management is dependent on the economy, when tourism is down, then hotel is affected. salary is not so competitive, but then, you can consider working in many places, not only in malaysia.
hotel management – basically related to operation of hotel. can work in sales, marketing, customer relationship, operations, front desk, etc.
business – course about how to run a business, the concept of business, types of business etc. you learn about law, management, finance, marketing, quality, etc.
starting salary..hmmm..this hard to say, anywhere between 1500 to 2000 should be a reasonable expectation. remember that both fields provide opportunity to grow. top hotel managers surely earn a lot, compared to manager of a small hotel in village 🙂
read about hotel mgmt here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hospitality_management_studies
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotel_manager
do NOTE: some colleges that offer hotel management does provide options to get a job with selected hotels. they may have bond or agreement whereby hotel sponsors you and you work for them after grad.
Your IPTA guidelines and CGPA link are most helpful. However, I wonder why you advise the submission of only 5 choices.
thanks John, i have corrected the error.
My STPM results are A- for AM, Bio and Chem, and B+ for Maths with a CGPA of 3.58.
Based on the cut off CGPA points info from the stpmindian site, chances are slim for my choice of dentistry and vet.Hence, I had also signed up with IPTS for dentistry.
Basically, I have three possible IPTS options viz,
a. Full time study in India
b. Twinning programme with India
c. Full time study in Malaysia
My preference is full time study in Davangere(Karnataka, India) mainly because of the programme quality, MDC recognition and economics.
But, some of my Malaysian Chinese friends had cautioned me about the food and living conditions. Also, some blogs mentioned about the tutors treating the students as primary school children.
Whilst the education consultants/agents had assured me with some sales talk, a third party view from you would be nice.
Thanks
hi John,
3.58 is quite slim chance but you never know.
when i went to india with my chinese friends, food was a problem 🙂 i remember friends bring along some pil chit kit, chinese herbal tea sachets, and packs of milo 3-in-1 and maggi 🙂
anyway, its a question of will. if you can handle indian food in malaysia, then won’t be much of a problem there, just need to take time adjusting for 6 months or so. karnataka is not like the indians you see in malaysia (mostly tamils), even though its a bit similar. you can get rice, curry, bread, tea, coffee. biggest cities are bangalore (plenty of malaysian medical students hangout place) and mysore i think.
i think cost wise, it would be cheaper than in malaysia.
living condition, weather can be very hot, but its not a four season country, so similar to malaysia – it rains seasonally. anyway, there’s not country with living conditions like malaysia, bar maybe singapore. china, usa, aussie, uk, all are different. as in any foreign country, one must respect their culture, and keep in mind security.
not sure about the tutors treatment of students tough.
instead of food or living condition, i have heard reasons such as loneliness or missing family for students quitting studies in overseas. so, you have to ask yourself if mentally prepared. if the uni has some malaysian students, then it won’t be much of a problem.
Mr. Poobalan, thanks for your prompt and honest reply. You are very helpful.
you’re welcome John 🙂 All the best.
Mr.Poobalan. thanks for your reply. your advises are really useful. thank you very much.
@poobalan, Sir, thank you very much for your guidance. I really appreciate it 🙂 And yes, my foundation is accepted by the IPTA and one of my lecturer has informed my friends and I on how to apply after the availability of my results but I’m not convince enough. Can you please tell me on how to apply for IPTA after my foundation results are available? Sir,if possible, please help me by giving more detailed guidance rather than short and more general guidance. I really need help, especially yours.
hi Eswaran,
if you have verified that your foundation can be used for IPTA application, then, you have to apply via UPU since all IPTA intake (minus USM) is via UPU. You have to apply next year via UPU website. I expect the intake application to open in mid january/february 2011. YES, need to get BSN PIN number.
Its exactly like you mentioned in your earlier comment.
Mr Poobalan, i’m stpm leaver and my result x meet the entry requirement for pharm. i’ve applied for diploma in pharmacy sponsored by mount miriam hospital. if i’m selected, i’ve to work for the hospital for 6 years, and i would like to continue my degree while working.is there any colleges/universities offer part time degree in pharm?
hi nirosha,
i don’t think can study pharmacy part-time. best option is to finish the contract and then try to get scholarship from your employee to further study.
Sir, may i know which career following has the highest demand ?
civil E
chemical E
ene E
aero E
marine E
electronic E
in Malaysia ^^ ?
hi,
i would say civil, elect, electronic has most demand due to the scale of the industry.
sir,
2009 spm result 8As ,2Bs want to do medecine.Is ACM foudation
recongnised in UKM . and what other courses can I do. tq
hi thana,
what is ACM? best if you can check with UKM itself or with the place you are taking the foundation.
what other courses you can do depends on your results, finance and also your interest.
there’s a list of colleges offering medicine at: http://poobalan.com/blog/education-help/list/
there’s a list of agents doing medical placement here: http://poobalan.com/blog/education-help/websites/
hai sir, is psychology course in demand? act i like both pharm and psychology, but i x do deg in pharm as i x meet the entry reg, but i can do degree in psychology.i like hospital environment. now i’m in total confusion of what to choose.niway sir, do you encourage stpm leavers to take diploma? i’m stpm leaver so i’m wondering whether takin dip is wise or x.. help me sir…
hi nirosha,
yes its in slight demand in certain areas, but expect the demand to grow in next 5 to 10 years. do note that psychologists not only work in hospitals but also able to work in universities, large companies, research institutions, NGOs, military, police, and govt.
stpm leavers have few options. firstly is to continue degree if they meet the requirements. that’s the shortest option. if not, then have to do diploma. another option is to do professional programs (like ACCA for accounting). another thing is that sometimes the diploma program won’t have a corresponding degree to continue. for example you may have degree in computer networking, but the degree is usually computer science, computer networks, or IT. diploma on the other hand, allows you to enter job market and work first. this gives you valuable experience than can help in deciding what degree to do later.
so, its back to you. if your result allows to take degree, then go for it. if you feel want to study diploma and work first, also can.
thanx sir, now i’m clear n finally i’ve decided to do dip,work 1st then cont degree.niway sir, you said before that we can ask scholarship from employee to futher studies… is it possible sir? is there any procedure that we have to work for particular time or…etc. please explain 2 me sir.
hi nirosha,
glad to hear that you have decided on something. that’s the first step, and usually the hardest one. once decided, stay focus and God willing you will achieve your ambition with minimal challenge.
the scholarship from employees depends on the employees. big companies will have some standard and established procedures. small companies may well depend on “budi-bicara” of the boss. most of them will have the “procedure” to work for them “for a particular time” – known as bond period. this is common because the company invests in you and expects return on that investment.
i suggest you settle on finishing diploma (remember that if you do well in diploma, some companies will LOOK for you, instead you having to search for funds).
thank you very much sir…now i get it. you are simply great sir…thank you for helping students like us.. thanx
no problem and all the best.
hello sir..i got 7 a’s in bm, bi, maths, prinsip perakaunan, sejarah, moral, est n b+ for physics n chemistry.
i am confused now on pursuing further study in which field.
can you help me sir? thank you.
hasvinii,
1. how about telling a bit on what’s your interest/ambition?
2. did you apply for politeknik, IPTA, teaching, matriculation, or any other program so far?
Hi sir,i got 5 credits in spm bm,bi,maths,science and accounts.i am interested in nursing .
can you help me sir?thank you….
hi kirti,
not sure what help you expecting, but you can enrol in IPTS for nursing or apply for government training at http://www.spa.gov.my (under latihan separa perubatan).
im get 6 a in my spm…………. i got bio B n chem,phys, n addmath C. im now continue my stpm science stream…. i did not know whether itz better 2 do science or art in stpm… is that any good course can get now… bcoz m a bit afraid 2 do stpm….. n im intrested in science… plz help me sir………
hi gowry,
you got 6As but looks like the As are not in science subjects. however, since you are interested in science, then just focus on that. B in chemistry or physics is still good. What area of science are you more interested in? read a bit on the careers related to sciences like engineering, applied sciences, health sciences, bio-related, and so on. there are so many courses: civil/mech/electrical/electronic/chemical engineering, aviation, physiotherapy, marine studies, dietitian, veterinary, medical, pharmacy, biotech, dentistry, maths, statistics, applied physics, applied chemistry, computer studies, education, and so on…
if you want to pursue in IPTS, then yeah, you can go to few IPTS and inquire about suitable programs. since you got 6As, can do foundation and proceed to degree later.
as for STPM, it involves hard work and commitment. if you can be focused, disciplined and committed, then a good result is possible (3As at least is required to have good chance of entering IPTA).
hi sir ..i only get 4 credits in spm.i really dont know what is my ambition and what im going to do after this..
hi jay,
with 4 credits, you can pursue most diploma programs or enrol in skills based courses.
i can only say that you have to figure out your skills and interests. contact c3G and also try the various personality assessment test available in the internet.
sir what if i complete diploma in any field ..then do degree while working? is that possible? is it good plan?
yeah, its possible and in fact, many ppl do that. they finish diploma, go to work and continue with degree later (either part time or full time).
its a good plan if it fits your requirements 🙂 what’s good for your friend is not necessarily good for you too, right?
sir recently i saw goverment organizing latihan separa perubatan at spa.gov..what is that? can i apply for that?i only get credits in bm,sej,est,and english..?
jay,

i think the application is closed but if you apply, would be processed for next january intake.
sir what if i only do diploma and didnt do degree ?
hi jay,
you can do diploma. its up to you. you can continue degree later as well.
sir can you recommend me five course that are quiet beneficial and best for future..if can, suggest according to my result..please? at leasty two.?
hi jay,
i’m worried with the questions you ask. all courses are beneficial and every job is necessary in this world. the better question is what job can suit me and interests me.
there are many, many courses: medicine, law, dentistry, accounting, human resource, architecture, music, maths, statistics, language, psychology, IT, agriculture, pharmacy, chemistry, economics, finance, marketing, management, religion and so on. hundreds of them!
with four credit you have, look at the subjects with best results and identify which subjects you really like, even though you didn’t get good results.
Hi sir,how can i apply agriculture courses? i dont find any college offering agriculture courses? and sir can you give your opinion about this course ?
jay,
you can apply at IPTA like UPM, but application is over. you can also refer to :
http://www.doa.gov.my/web/guest/kursus_pertanian
http://www.natc.gov.my/home
sir i already applied for the latihan separa perubatan but the intake is closed..what can i do for this..?
wait for next intake la! 🙂
sir im interested to become a top man in farm management, means like doing research in how to increase agriculture products and managing farm needs and maintainence..and all that.. so sir can you recommend me any college or goverment instituitions that are related to my ambition?
i already gave you some links earlier. check them out.
basically you can study some agriculture science program, or biotech, for research areas. for farm management, you can take up agriculture management, agro entrepreneur etc.
there’s not many colleges offering agriculture based programs. u can try for local uni and the institutes under agriculture dept and veterinary dept.

reetha,
1. job opportunities for arts stream STPM students who do not continue their studies into degree/diploma is usually admin or management positions like admin assistants, accounts assistant, clerk etc.
2. as far as i know, architecture needs maths and fizik. but depending on the ipta/ipts, there may be more lenient subject requirements.
thank you a lot sir! hw abut the careers for other subjects as pengajian am, economics, bm, sejarah? is it cn be a journalist? cn u explain about this?
reetha
pengajian am is general subject. economics – can be economist, teacher, editor, writer, researchers, etc. BM-> teacher, writer, researcher, PR, etc. Sejarah-> teacher, researcher, historian, etc.
Yeah can be journalist too.
Hello sir, recently i went to survey a college, they are giving free scholarship to study certain diploma..and they got MQA approval also..so sir my question is can i proceed to study in that college? how can i be assured wheter is it safe to study there? can i get job after i finish my study? And lastly how can i ensure a college is a better college? is it by name? MQA approved? Recognised ? Cheap? how to determine? please give your best answer sir.. Im very much appreciate your answers sir.
hi jay,
you can check the MQA approval here: http://www.mqa.gov.my/mqr/index.htm
you can try asking around about the reputation of the college. can search the college name in internet to see if got any negative comments.
as for job guarantee, nothing is guaranteed. you have to get top results and put effort in applying for jobs.
“better” college is subjective. different students and parents have different requirements. some students want an international environment, some want cheap course, some want “easy to pass” program and so on.
if you look at IPTS, the more prestigious ones are the ones that have a “recognised” name, popular, have twinning/linking with other famous global colleges, lots of top achievers, wins awards that are recognised and so on. another important factor is the facilities like IT labs, library, journal access, classrooms. and then, the quality of the academicians. obviously, if you pay more fees, you expect top quality facilities. so, make sure you ask and SEE the facilities if can.
some colleges are all “hype” only, and its famous for students having good time, easy to pass, “money can settle everything” concept. some treat the lecturers like bonded slave giving too many classes and too many hours. some may hire foreigners and students have problem understanding the different slang. some colleges hire too many fresh graduates due to cheap labor cost. so, you can also see how the lecturers and staff look like – are they depressed, tired, unhappy face etc. some have outdated syllabus, whereby you end up not able to get a job. some offer low fees, but every semester increase fees or ask for more money for this and that, and you end up paying even up to double the original cost by the time you graduate.
another way is to talk to the existing students or recent graduates if you know any.
sir,i gt 4a’s (sej,bi,math n chem)b+ for bio n bm, b for physic and c+ for add math…i’m confused what career should i choose…but my parents wants to do phamarcy…but i dunno what i really want to do….plz help me….
kirti,
i think you have to talk with your parents on your plans. you should have some idea on what your ambition is. how’s your interest? what subjects or areas/topics you like? analyse yourself – are you outgoing person? do you like things to be structured? do like to talk alot? are you hygenic? careful person? risk taker? artistic? etc…
read a bit on the job of a pharmacist first. who knows maybe you’ll like it.
based on your subjects, you did well in chemistry and maths, and did ok in the rest of science subjects, so pharmacy shouldn’t be a problem.
sir,what do u think about city university college at kuala lumpur?
reetha
i not familiar with this college. URL please.
sir, this week on 19 &20 june , there is a education fair in midvalley, i plan to go there,, so… hmm.. sir can give me some techniques on how to identify and value each college???
jay,
you can’t evaluate colleges at education fairs. can just collect information. don’t be deceived by pretty faces, free gifts and such.
i suggest you collect information such as the recognition (MQA), facilities, fees, lecturer qualifications, employability of graduates etc.
THEN, make sure visit the colleges to actually see how things are.
Sir..de IPTA results was out & i cant get a place..Im totally lost now..wat shud i do other than appealing..cuz im worried i fail to appeal as well
meiteng,
wait for the appeal. in the mean time, consider options in IPTS. see which colleges offer the course you are interested in.
sir, at last i’ve decided to join a college but there is only one confusion remains..That is,the same course is offered by both international based college and malaysian based college..both college have MQA approval also..In fact,both college offers same kind of facilities. So im very much confused with this thing sir..Sir kindly give me a best answer..
jay,
if all things are equal, then you may want to consider the location and cost. simple as that. BUT in my opinion, on paper may be equal, but in reality maybe different. you should consider the lecturer qualifications/experience, facilities provided and used by students, library resources, food/accommodation issues, etc.
thank you sir…sir,im taking pengajian am,economics,business management and account now. So, what are job opportunities for tis subjects? im interested in taking an extra subject for supporting me in my stpm? So, should I take? and if want to take, cn i know which subject could help me in easier way and is that if i took mathematics,could that help me for architecture? and sir..what do you think about city university college? my fren interest to go..they are only asking 3 credits in any subject to do civil E, electronic E, architectual technology, n so on while they are giving full PTPTN loan. my friend is not so rich to pay the fees if they ask suddenly..can you help me to get some information about the college?? is that a right choice for her?
since you are taking economics, business management, and accounts, you have a wide choice of career path: accounting, business admin, economy.
as for extra subject, if you think can cope, then go for it. maths can help for architecture, but as i said, it depends on the university because some universities require Physics as well.
city university college? i heard of it vaguely, but don’t know much about them. FYI, its a rule by minister that 3 credits can do diploma, so its not unique to this college only.
i think city university college was known by another name before this (PJCC and Unity college).
thank you for your help sir.
sir,what is your view about IT field?
IT field is an expanding industry as new hardware, software, and requirements are constantly appearing. its a good industry to be involved in.
sir what you think about occupational safety and health? can you explain about this course sir? is this course requires a lot of technical skills?
its a good field with demand globally. you should obtain a certification as well in addition to the diploma or degree. you will need technical knowledge and skills.

hello sir? i wish to know about becoming a translator? in which college i can pursue diploma for course..
jay,
translator from what to what?
translator of written text , foreign languages
you’ll have to study the language first. then i think need to get registered with the embassy or accredited organisation for that language.
sir what you think about Edutrain International college at Kl?
i haven’t heard about edutrain for long time. i remember they are linked to NIIT. have you visited their campus? and check if got MQA approval?
sir….i want to know bout diploma in healthcare management and can u explain bout its job?
hi,
read about it in the following pages:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare_administration
http://healthmanagementcareers.org/
http://www.who.int/topics/management/en/
http://www.aupha.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=1
to summarise, its about management of healthcare facilities like hospitals, medical centers, labs etc. you don’t do the operational work (meaning your are not doctor, nurse, paramedic etc) but in managerial/supervisory position to run the place.
