Varsity intake results out soon
PUTRAJAYA: Students will know which public university they will enter by the middle of next week. Higher Education Minister Datuk Mustapa Mohamed said this was because they had to register at their university for the 2007/2008 intake on July 1. “We expect to offer about the same number of places as last year,” he told reporters after flagging off a convoy of superbikers in conjunction with the 32nd sports championship for staff in public universities. A total of 40,016 students were accepted last year, a slight increase over the previous year's figure of 39,976. Starting this year, the Education Ministry will be responsible for the calculation of points for those applying to universities, based on a 90:10 ratio in terms of weightage given to academic results and co-curricular activities. Currently, admission is based on examination results, with co-curricular performance being used as the tiebreaker in cases where two students have the same cumulative grade-point average. On another matter, Mustapa extended his condolences to the family of student Mohammad Ishak, 22, from Chendering, Kuala Terengganu, who was allegedly stabbed to death by another Malaysian student in Egypt on Thursday. “I was contacted by the Malaysian Students Department in Cairo after the incident. Officials from the Malaysian High Commission have also gone there,” he said. Asked whether the incident would deter other Malaysian students from studying there, Mustapa said that this rarely happened. “This is a one-in-a-million incident. In general, our students are well behaved and respected. I hope our other Malaysian students there are not feeling distressed,” he said, adding that he had received an early report on the incident. On what action the ministry would take, he said it was premature to make any assumptions and that the ministry would wait for the outcome of the investigation by the Egyptian police. |
