UTeM here I come !


I got it. First choice. My choice. God's choice.

The dreaded UPU result finally is out! And i got my first choice that is Manufacturing Engineering at UTeM ( University Teknikal Malaysia Melaka ) .

I have been waiting for this day for like forever. And I got it. I am so grateful and blessed. I am one of those who does not like to entrust and put something so important in the hands of our goverment, for them to decide and give me a course that will determine my future but I have to do it for this because it can save so much for my family. And i am willing to take that gamble, and thankfully I won this time.

If you are a STPM student, you will most probably aiming to enter Local Universities.
Same goes to me, the moment in step into lower 6 , thats my target all along. Sadly, I did not do too well, merely getting a CGPA of 2.67.

From past experience and stories from seniors, you know your chances of getting into local uni decreases if you are below 2.5 , although the minimum requirement for applying UPU is 2. So to get my first choice with a CGPA of 2.67, I am really thankful.

Just so you know, many of my friends that got a lesser CGPA still got a place in local uni , just not their first choice, and getting places like Sabah, Sarawak .some of them even got Pahang and Perlis, and decided to give up due to own personal reasons.

So to those who are planning to apply UPU , please do read up, do some survey ,read previous blogs , get more info from the net  ( Quan Sheng ) . Try to put your choices and uni choices that is in parallel with your result to give you the highest chance to enter into local uni. Do not expect to enter pretigious Universities like UKM USM UM if your CGPA is not up to their standard. Read their qualification, the minimum CGPA needed for each subject. Spend more time on that to finalize your decision.

So , I will be spending the next 4 years in Melaka. I cannot wait for what is instore for me over there.
