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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnyone who misses the test will miss a chance to study in USM. It\u2019s just a one-hour test and it is to help the university and applicants make the right choice.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said USM had selected 117 locations nationwide for the applicants to attend the assessment tomorrow.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnly 3,500 applicants will be picked to enrol in the university. The applicants will know their status at the end of this month.\u201d<\/p>\n
Prof Ahmad Shukri said unsuccessful applicants would have their applications submitted to the University Admission Unit (UPU) for other public universities.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe location for them to sit the assessment can be found online,\u201d he said, adding that the university had sent out SMSes to the candidates.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
