According to the statement, Indians constitute only 5.68% of the applicants who got a place, which is 2,304 students out of over 40,000 successful candidates.<\/p>\n<p>They question why the intake is low. Is it due to not enough STPM candidates or quality of student results are low. At the moment, there&#8217;s less than 8,000 Indian students left in IPTA.<\/p>\n<p>It seems Indians have limited option to enter IPTA: either STPM, Matriculation (limited intake of 10% for non-bumiputera), and diploma from polytechnic. I think he forgot to mention that its for degree. There&#8217;s a small number of students who enter IPTA to do diploma after SPM, and also there&#8217;s a group that get KPLSPM to do teaching degree after SPM.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing to consider is the statement that students\/families considering the offer if the university is located far away. I think another factor is also the course being offered.<\/p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/9PGCfhC98VU&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/9PGCfhC98VU&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MIC Youth launched an hotline yesterday for STPM students who failed to get a place in IPTA.
