However, no breakdown was given in terms of the intake channels (STPM vs Asasi vs Matriculation). That would be an interesting statistics.
More students will enter university this year with the introduction of 53 new academic programmes.
With this, there will be 41,267 seats offered by 20 public varsities, marking a 1.9% increase from last year’s intake.
Higher Education Department director-general Prof Datuk Dr Rujhan Mustafa said 11 of the new programmes were technology-based.
