PTPTN for MBBS in IPTS

Botakbotol — Sat, 11 Aug 2018 16:23:40 +0800

Hi, according to PTPTN portal there are 3 categories: maximum loan, 75% and 50% with the loan amount of RM 250k, RM 187k and RM 150k respectively.
Does it mean that I'll receive exactly RM 250k if I'm from the first category or exactly RM 187k if I'm from the second? Or the amount approved will be less than stated?
I've emailed to PTPTN staff but they are yet to reply my email.
Can anyone of you taking PTPTN for MBBS in IPTS make clear of this? Thanks.

MBBS course in Asia Metropolitan University

Anyone here is taking MBBS in Asia Metropolitan University? How's the environment there? Is their MBBS course good?
I've visited the PTPTN official website but AMU is not on the list of medical schools. Is it eligible for AMU MBBS students to take PTPTN loan?
Thanks.

Help! Application form filling stuffz

Botakbotol — Mon, 21 May 2018 00:40:06 +0800

I'm currently filling in the application form for oversea universities, when I came across with this ( pls refer to the pic I attached).

I took SPM and I have just finished my Foundation in a private U, how should I fill it?

1) High school: SMK xx- SPM
College, (with the line striking through "undergraduate"): xxx university- Pre U

2) High school: xxx university- Pre U

3) High school: SMK xx- SPM
xxx university- Pre U
(Squeeze all into one column)

It's quite confusing cuz most of the foreign countries set Year 11 and 12 as the high school years, but in Malaysia SPM is equivalent to Year 11 while the Pre U is equivalent to Year 12.

Hope someone who applied for it before helps to clear my doubts, thanks.

I'm thinking of taking foundation in science, so which uni is better? UTAR or UCSI? I can get full scholarship from UTAR but I only manage to get RM10k scholarship from UCSI, which means that I've to pay extra RM10k sth on my own...

Diploma

Botakbotol — Sat, 01 Jul 2017 13:09:22 +0800

I got straight As in SPM, and currently I'm taking Diploma in xx engineering in public university. However now I'm a bit confusing about my choice, since many said that diploma is for the underachieving ones, and I've realized that most of my coursemates' results are really like what the others said. But i also aware that diploma is the only pathway for me right now except stpm to enter public university, cuz i didn't get offer from matriks (non-bumi with poor kokurikulum pointer), and now it seems too late for me to return to stpm...so i wanna ask, is it really that bad for doing diploma? Is this the rite choice if my aim is to enter malaysian public university?

Diploma or STPM

Botakbotol — Sun, 04 Jun 2017 17:50:52 +0800

I'm now taking Diploma in Civil Engineering in local u for about a week...before this I did go for STPM for 2 weeks, and I found out that STPM seems better than diploma. What should i do now? Go back to form 6? Because i afraid that I will end up with nothing if I continue diploma, due to some reasons( which I can't mention it directly here,or else I'll be sued or get into unnecessary trouble)...I'm really worried that I can't catch up during degree compared to those from STPM,matriks,A level or asasi..Any suggestions? I'm in serious dilemma now
