THERE are two routes to enter UTM. The normal route is for STPM students to apply through UPU. They have to compete with other students and secure a place.
What about those who are unable to get the course they want at UTM.
Over the last few years many public universities have opened up an alternative route for STPM students. They do not have to apply through UPU.
They can apply directly. UTM too admits students through this alternative route.
The tuition fee may be slightly more but they can still study at UTM.
Admission Requirements
STPM students should have a Grade point average ( NGMP) of not less than 2.00. They should have passed Pengajian Am and two other subjects. In addition they should have at least Band 1 in the Malaysian University English Test (MUET).
