Putera MIC coordinator P. Kamalanathan said students should not be disheartened as they would be able do the course of their choice after obtaining the first degree.
He said the call was being made as more than 200 Indian students failed to take up their places in the various universities in Sabah, Sarawak, Terengganu, Perlis and Kedah last year.
Kamalanathan said Putera MIC had also set up a unit to assist new students.
“The students can enquire about their courses and the surroundings in their new campus.
“Those who fail to get places in the universities can also submit a copy of their appeal to ipta@puteramic.net,” he said.
Kamalanathan said students could also submit a copy of their appeals to MIC education bureau committee chairman Datuk Dr T. Marimuthu, who would forward them to party president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu.
He said a list of Indian student representatives in the various public universities was also available to provide assistance to new students.
“The list can be accessed through the www.puteramic.net,” he said.

The mattress, pillows and blankets in the hall caught fire in the incident at 4.50pm in Jalan Keretapi Lama here.
No one was injured, as they put out the fire with water from the bathroom before escaping through the back door.
R.M. Thangaiah, 58, his wife A. Indrani, 50, and three of their children were sleeping in the hall when they heard the window panes being smashed.
As they got up to check and realised it was a brick, the first Molotov cocktail landed inside, narrowly missing their son Rajagunalan, 26, and daughters, Rajarajeswari, 21, and Tharani, 7.
Their eldest son, Rajakumaran, 28, and his pregnant wife were sleeping in one of the two rooms in the house.
Then, the second Molotov cocktail landed inside.
Thangaiah, the Sungai Puloh MIC branch chairman, said the fire spread very fast.
The smoke from the burning mattress almost blinded them and they were suffocating, he said.
"It was the most frightening 15 minutes of my life. For a moment, I thought we were all going to die."
He said it was a double tragedy for him as 13 months ago, his house in Kampung Sungai Puloh burnt down in a fire that razed 18 houses there.
Thangaiah’s family then moved to the current rented house.
He said one of his neighbours saw a man wearing a helmet and a dark jacket running towards a motorcycle where another man was waiting. Both sped off from the scene.
He believes the incident was politically-motivated as there was some misunderstanding on Saturday.
"I am scared to leave my house now. I don’t know who may be waiting to harm me or my family."
District police chief ACP Mohd Rodwan Yusof said they had recorded statements from witnesses and hoped to pick up the suspects soon.

ESTATES should set up study centres, as in some estate homes schoolchildren are unable to study at night due to family circumstances.
Tamil Nesan reported that MIC president and Works Minister Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu made this call after officially opening the study centre in Sungai Rela estate, Sungai Siput, last Sunday.
He said the establishment of study centres in the estates would give children the opportunity to gather and discuss their school education.
They would also be able to study in a peaceful environment.
