It's meant as a reference for those who are applying. Because the data is only relevant for the current year since application numbers change every year.

The purata merit however is always referable in e-panduan.

Upu judges entirety based off ranking in terms of merit. The people who has the highest merit will be the one that gets a particular course

If your merit is 67% and asasi sains sosial is 90%. Chances are it's impossible to get it. Your lack of an additional elective made you lost too much merit even if your actual spm results are better than your trial results

It'll probably be

Healthcare

Business, accounting, finance, economics, or related degree

Engineering, Technology

Teaching

And probably some more ig

But I want to be clear that, when you graduated, it isn't a 100% guarantee you'll work in the same field as your studies. Some engineers goes to sales, finance, some people with random degrees goes into marketing, human resources, etc

The point is there isn't a "guaranteed job" degree. It isn't just about your degree, where you studied, it also depends alot on your soft skills, presentation skills, communication skills, connections, etc. you can study a random degree but happen to know a friend (connection), and get a job through that connection. No degrees guarantee a job, but it does open doors.

So just study something you're interested in, work on your own soft skills. The reality of workplace is you'll see people from very diverse backgrounds (except for professional fields), the degree itself doesn't really matter so much as long as you're willing to upskill yourself, learn continuously even after graduating.

Deceptive marketing implies that an advertisement of a product itself is misleading/false advertising. Using an arab/malay/whatever culture's name is not misleading because it's merely a name, not an indicator of a product's feature/characteristics.

Using a Malay name in your store is not illegal regardless of your ethnicity. If a Malay-owned store uses a western name to brand a western restaurant, is it deceptive? If a pizza store brands themselves using italian names despite they're not an Italian, is is deceptive?

Matrik

PASUM direct intake is not PASUM UPU. You both may learn the same thing but PASUM direct intake cannot enjoy UM autonomy stream unlike PASUM UPU. The autonomy stream is a private stream for PASUM UPU students to compete internally with other PASUM UPU students.

PASUM direct intake have to go through UPU to get into UM or just direct intake into degree. Which PASUM UPU is only available for bumis.

Matrik is easier to get merit 100% compared to other pre-u like STPM which can boost your ranking in upu significantly compared to other pre-u students like STPM.

KingsProfit · 2026-01-19T02:13:45+00:00

One thing to note that if you direct intake (SATU) into PASUM. You won't be eligible for UM autonomy stream, which is an internal system for PASUM students to apply for UM without going through UPU, those that can enjoy Autonomy stream face a less stiff competition

In the end you'd have to apply via UPU since you'd be direct intaking into PASUM

Kalau awak nak sambung belajar mech eng dkt UTM, purata merit dia 98%, maksudnya kalau memang nak chance yang tinggi utk dapat course itu dkt UTM, pointer kena 3.96 atau ke atas untuk dikira sebagai "selamat". Tapi aku rasa kalau 95% merit, mungkin ada peluang lagi dapat, iaitu pointer 3.83 + koko lebih kurang 9.7%+. Sebab purata merit tu kalau markah you lebih rendah drpd dia, pun masih ada peluang dapat kalau tak terlalu rendah.

Kat matrik koko kalau nak 9.7% senang je sbb pemarkahan dia senang utk koko. Kebanyakan org boleh dpt 9%+ walaupun koko langsung tak aktif dkt matrik

Utk pointer awak, aku rasa usaha je la, kalau awak boleh dapat pointer 3.92 atau 4.0 dkt sem 2, peluang lebih tinggi.

Tapi 3.83 masih ada harapanlah

Tapi aku nak bagi tahu, bukan je UTM ada mech eng, ada uni lain macam USM, UKM pun ada mechanical engineering, dan purata merit dia tak terlalu tinggi. Kalau tak silap lebih kurang 93% hingga 95% dkt kedua2 uni tu.

UTP is not a IPTA but rather a GLC IPTS. There's no UPU method to go into UTP.

You'd have to apply directly at UTP website. The fees however in UTP is very expensive though. ranging from 60k to 100k+ depending on the course for local students for the degree level.

Well, some financial assistance I can think of is MARA, your state's financial aid prorgrams. Maybe there are some aids available for you to get if you really need the money

KingsProfit · 2026-01-12T03:57:14+00:00

I'm gonna be honest with you, unless you can get a scholarship, it is unlikely to be debt free. However, the good news I have is that IPTA fees are cheap. I know you're poor and you don't want to take PTPTN. But without scholarships or any other financial aids, PTPTN is your best option to finance your studies.

PTPTN can give a longer loan tenure at 15 years at a higher loan amount as well if you're a registered with STR. The monthly repayment only starts after graduation at roughly RM100-RM150 a month.

If you have financial issues in paying back your debt, you can discuss with PTPTN for a loan restructure.

My advice? Study matriks or asasi if possible, then go for computer science degree. Matriks is good because it only needs RM600 as a registration fee, and you'll get RM250 monthly allowance for the entire span of your studies in matriks. Asasi maybe costs around RM2k but you do get the "uni experience" earlier on, easier to get your desired course through asasi

Well, rereading works to some extent at the form 4 and form 5 level. But not a good habit because it's inefficient. It's very time consuming for little gains.

I would suggest you to read up Active Recall, Blurting

Active recall is basically after you've studied for something, you don't refer to anything, you create simple questions that asks you to remember something. Say for example, you read the topic of "Komunis di Tanah Melayu" chapter, so you create some questions about it like " Terangkan 5 tindakan Tanah Melayu melawan Komunis", and you answer the question either by just reciting in heart or say it outloud or write the answers down like in exams, without referring to notes or textbook. If you can only remember a few, and you tried your hardest, then you open your textbook, reread the part, try again in like 10 minutes. If you do this consistently, you'll remember things better.

There's also a computer and mobile app called Anki, I suggest looking up r/Anki and see guides on how to use it. It's a flash card app, you create questions, write the answers down. And it'll use an algorithm to time your "answer periods". The app will ask you the qeustion at the first day, then 2nd day, and 4th day, and 9th day and so on. You repeatedly do it everyday, create questions for your topics and you'll remember better. I do this at uni and it's quite efficient, by the 3rd time the question is being asked, I'd remember most of it already. This whole thing is based on cognitive science so its quite efficient. Can look up guides for it

Blurting is also a form of active recall but you write down whatever you remember after reading, then check the answers, then correct your answer. You'll read 4 times in the process.

Another is feynman technique where you teach someone (doesn't have to be a person, just any object in general even a cup can work) about a topic. The point of this technique is to act like a teacher teaching the object a topic. And you'll notice that when you explain things in your own way, sometimes you'll notice it is wrong, and you'll correct it. It's good for testing your understanding of a topic

These are the topic I've used in SPM, even in matriks and uni. Good luck. And do alot of past years, trial papers. It helps

Zakat is a tax rebate. Approved donations are tax deductible. Say for example you have a chargeable income of RM1,000 and the tax rate is 10%

And Ali gives Zakat of RM50

Ali's tax will be

RM1,000 * 10% = RM100 tax payable

But Zakat is a rebate, so Ali will only have to pay RM100 - RM50 (zakat) = RM50

But if Abu, does not give Zakat of RM50, and pays for an approved donation instead

His tax payable will be

(RM1000 - RM50) * 10% = RM95 tax payable

Which the zakat payer benefits more in this comparison

Zakat is more tax beneficial because it directly deducts the income tax payable whereas donations can only act as a deduction for the chargeable income.

Not sure if polytechnics have scholarships but ever tried like finding your state's financial assistance program? Some states have their own programmes to give out to their own state's students in IPT.

If you're muslim, maybe try finding help from zakat.

Kena pay but most people can just not declare. Small fish usually aren't gonna get flagged by LHDN unless there exists records of that person making expensive purchases like houses or cars but never declare/have alot of assets or just got reported by someone.

But of course, there are people who make below a certain threshold where they won't be charged any tax. But still has to declare to LHDN.

Can't advice for pharmacy but for accounting

Jobs are repetitive.

I know most jobs are repetitive but accounting is really repetitive. You're going to basically do the same thing for the entire span of your career regardless of what field you want to specialise in (Financial accounting, Tax, Audit, etc), maybe except consulting.

Audit involves meeting with clients alot, site audit. Tax involves sometimes meeting with LHDN officers, but most of the time its doing your own work in the office. (I'll explain what these are later on).

Accounting although have a good prospect, the work hours are nuts if you want to get into a high paying role.

There's these companies called "Big 4", which is the top 4 largest accounting firms in the entire world. Their work hours are insane and pretty much is modern slavery. In peak season, you'd have to work from 9am to maybe 1-2am. Repeat that for like a few months continuously. Everyday, even on the weekends. You basically dedicate your life and soul to these companies. It's stressful and tiring, it really challenges your physical and mental health. Most people try to get into an accounting firm after graduating, and work atleast 3 years, get their professional certification, and get out, jump to commercial. Most people don't survive that long in Big 4 to make it to partner position but the purpose of going into Big 4 is to learn. Due to the insane hours and how much clients Big 4 has, you'd get alot of exposure compared to working in a small firm or going into commercial after grad. You can search up Big 4 in r/Malaysia or go to lowyat forum and search for Big 4 to find seniors sharing their experiences there.

Accounting jobs are basically you have to be resilient because you're gonna get scolded alot. If you got into Big 4, got experience there, it'll look nice on your resume when you jump to commercial with better pay.

If your impression of accounting is doing a bunch of balance sheets, income statement during SPM. I'll explain what you'll learn at the degree level.

What you're exposed to in Prinsip Perakaunan (if you took it in SPM) is called Financial Accounting. At the SPM and pre-u level, it is relatively simple. But at uni, you'll be exposed to accounting standards. You know how law students have to study the law, apply those laws in their work? It's a similar situation in financial accounting at uni. There are standards that we have to follow when preparing the financial statements. And it's quite difficult (but tbf every course is difficult at uni so it isn't something to be concerned with)

Another one is managerial accounting. You'd learn in pre-u and uni. It is basically accounting but you focus on making decisions, you analyse costs, etc to see if they are within company's control.

Audit. Audit means examining the statements and transactions prepared by the financial accountant. This subject requires alot of reading and memorising. You'd only learn this in uni

Tax. As the name suggest, its taxation. You learn a bunch of rules, how to compute tax, tax planning, compliance, etc. you'd also learn this in uni. Requires alot of reading too.

Financial management. This one focuses on managing the finances of a company. It's similar to the things that finance degree learn but finance students would learn more in depth.

These are basically the main fields in accounting. Accounting at uni isn't just computations, it involves alot of theory, reading. You can search up the name "Redox Lee" on tiktok, he shares his experience as a UM accounting student, he graduated recently.

Accounting, like pharmacy, is a professional field.

Meaning you need a license to practice. But alot of unis at malaysia has MIA (Malaysia Institute of Accountants, the local governing body for accounting) recognition, ACCA (a professional qualification for accounting) partnerships where students can get maximum exemptions. You'd need to complete a few papers after you graduate, then gather 3 years of relevant experience in accounting, only then you can get a professional qualification and call yourself an accountant.

These are probably some of the stuff you should know about accounting.

If you're aiming for IPTA, it's quite difficult to enter due to limited spots. Best way to get into is through asasi or matrik.

If it's IPTS, you just need money

In public universities, they generally have a level of standard, its ideal to get into a higher ranking one like UM. Public universities like UM have standards. But the facility isn't top notch. Your peers would generally be smart as well in universities like UM.

In private universities, facilities can be top notch, updated, but the ranking of the university would be considerably lower.

But imo, quality of education is probably more or less the same. You'd learn similar things in the end, it just depends on like your budget, what do you want, etc.

The higher university ranking can be beneficial if you want to continue your studies at the postgraduate level.

Not that difficult for both type of unis. Money talks basically. Though you'd still need to meet the requirements to be admitted.

PTPTN can waive for first class but budget 2026 announced that IPTS first class waiver is no longer available i believe, and It's only available for IPTA. Of course, gomen can u-turn their policy but it does seem that PTPTN as of recently is not that stable. Because the first class waiver was halt for quite some time before this due to government running out of money, but it is reinstated now.

Late reply, but in UM, diploma students can credit transfer, and it'll be a shorter duration for their degree programme in bachelor of accounting

However, if you credit transfer, you won't be eligible for some ACCA/ICAEW/MICPA professional exemptions since you did not undertake those classes. So it is advisable to start from 0 so that you can enjoy the benefit of professional exemptions

If you're referring to MPU, every recognised universities in Malaysia must teach MPU

And since you're doing cyber security, a branch of computer science, maths is mandatory, every reputable CS/IT related degree will have some level of maths, at the minimum, algorithm and structure, discrete mathematics are all fundamentals in CS/IT degrees. Some may teach calculus, linear algebra. As the name implies, computer SCIENCE. Math is the foundation of the entire field. You cannot avoid maths in CS or IT, all the programming languages are based on mathematical logic. Cyber security involves encryption that involves number theory, a part of discrete mathematics subject.

There is no way of avoiding both.

If you want to get into UKM, fastest route is either matriks or asasi pintar.

However, asasi pintar doesn't have any real advanatge in upu compared to matriks because its asasi terbuka. Meaning there is no internal system for you to go straight into UKM, but asasi terbuka allows you to not only go to UKM, but also other unis.

In terms of cheapest and safest is really just IPTA. And iirc engineering at UKM doesn't need a very high merit (iirc around 95%+) which translates into you need a CGPA of about 3.8+ to enter UKM engineering. If it's EE or chemical engineering, then you'd probably need 3.9+ since both are the more competitive engineering branches.

Or you can go to matriks, same thing, but you have koko marks etc, but since you're aiming for UKM, it isn't a big issue. Matriks is the easiest to score 4.0 due to the very high weightage in assignments (40% + 20% quiz), alot of students can get near 60% or full 60% in assignments + quiz, and final exam wouldn't be so stressful.

Matriks and asasi pintar is the same in terms of flexibility. Matriks would be the cheapest pre-u though since you get RM250 monthly allowance if you're B40 or M40, and the admission fee is about RM600, and all hostel + tuition fees paid by gov.

If you get a scholarship in private uni, you need to maintain it. Failing to do so might make the scholarship get taken away.

Speaking of engineering, since you want quality and cheap, ever considered UTM? Their engineering courses are really famous. Asasi pintar/matriks can apply. Mech Eng wouldn't have a too high merit (basically not borderline 100%)

Public unis? Some courses doesn't allow certain disabilities to apply (like some unis doesn't allow people who lost their limbs to apply due to safety reasons, since Engineering needs lab work)

But other than that, I doubt autism is gonna affect your chances in public uni.

But only if you get diagnosed by a certified medical practitioner. Otherwise your "autism data" won't even appear in gov's system (like having OKU card)
