“The acceptance confirmation letter and offer letter can be printed out through the website of the respective IPTAs,”  KPT said in a statement today.

Registration of new students would commence from June 5 until Jan 4, 2021, depending on the respective IPTAs, it added.

According to the ministry, student recruitment is based on meritocratic principle and by this, all eligible candidates who achieve at the highest level, regardless of race, religion, state, standard of living and place of residence, are given the opportunity to study at the IPTAs.

“No quota system is used as the system has been abolished since the 2002/2003 academic intake,” it said.

The offer for places for the 2020/2021 academic session is  final and request for changes will not be entertained.

Candidates who have not received any offer or who have failed in their application, may submit their appeal via UPUOnline at http://upu.moe.gov.my which would open from today until June 10,  2020 at 5pm.
