Hi @marisashanthini welcome and thank you for your offer!

I went to STPM so I’m always curious how is it like studying at Matrikulasi. Perhaps you can share with us your experience, sweet and funny memories?

Some warm up questions:

  1. How did you get matrikulasi offer? I heard you need to be from luar bandar when you put your address in application form? Not sure if this is true. Also I heard that your SPM result must be very good in order to get matrikulasi offer. So from your experience, did all your friends in matrikulasi score very good results in SPM?

  2. What are the perks of being a matrikulasi student? For example, how much monthly allowance do you get? Other than the regular monthly allowance, do you get other allowance to buy clothes, laptop etc?

  3. Most matriculation colleges are located far from the nearest city / town, so how often do you get to go outings at the nearest town / city?

  4. Are you allowed to bring your handphone? I heard last time many years ago when mobile phones were not as popular as today, the matrikulasi students queue up to make calls using the limited telephone booth only once a week?

Hahaha, I guess that’s all for now. Everyone please ask more questions!

Hello Ong

  1. my results were good so I was offered matrix. I put bandar not luar bandar since I am from Ipoh. My results was 5A+ 4A. All science subjects I got A+ so my chance was higher. Not all students who got matrix scored high on their SPM. They also look into your family background. Parents occupation etc…

  2. the monthly allowance is RM250. For 12 months. We do not get any allowance for laptop and other stuff. The perks of doing matrix is u save a ton of money and it’s really easy to score if u are hardworking and smart.

  3. yes most of the colleges are very far from town. But mine is in kepala batas, Penang. It’s not far from butterworth and near to a few major shopping complex. My college allows us to go outing once a month and go home once a months also.

  4. of course we are allowed to bring hand phones. This is 2016…

I have many sweet and bitter experience here in Penang Matriculation College…
My best experience was getting my 4-flat.
My friends are the funniest clowns I have ever met.
The saddest experience was leaving my home. It took me a couple of months to get adjusted to the situation. But all went well after that. I will be graduating next month. It’s gonna be sad to say bye. But it’s a memory for a lifetime.

@marisashanthini, would you mind to share with us roughly how many percent of students are under the two-year programme Program Matrikulasi Dua Tahun (PDT)?

Just curious to know because usually when I meet people who graduated from matrikulasi they are from the Program Matrikulasi Satu Tahun (PST), that’s why they are usually one year younger than STPM students when enrolled into the degree courses at universities.

I’ve never met anyone graduated from Program Dua Tahun (PDT)… Hmmm…

#10

@Kai. Hello Kai. Ok the PDT program is only for bumiputera. They are the ones who get D for add maths in SPM. The pdt program is very easy at they study around 4 or 5 chapters per subject for each semester but PST will study around 10 or 15 chapters depending on the subject for each semester. Around 20% are PDT students in my college.

Hi @marisashanthini ! In matrikulasi,are there bookshops for us to get our study materials(reference books,exercise books etc), other than the lecture notes from teachers. I heard that there are less books for us to revise, as compared to in private colleges. Is it possible to get the relevant books that we want from the matriculation library? Thank you so much. :slight_smile:

#12

@Kaushalya. Hello Kaushalya. Yes there are book stores in the college where we can get reference books for matriculation. We also can use international books to help us understand the subjects in a more deeper sense such as McGraw Hill, Solomon etc… Hope this answers your question.

Hi there …
I would love to ask this,
If I choose matric. Would it help me to further study abroad???

#15

Yes @Bluei, matriculation is recognized internationally and it is equivalent to other pre-university programmes like STPM, A Levels, IB, SAM, Diploma etc

In other words, you can use Matriculation result to apply to get admission into undergraduate (degree) courses at universities overseas.

Little Myth I’d Like To Debunk

YES, it is possible to gain admission to premier foreign universities with your matriculation qualification. Here’s an official list (non-exhaustive) by Ministry of Education, Malaysia.

A friend of mine even got an offer from Imperial College London (amongst several others), and he’s currently waiting on scholarship replies before he decides on whether or not to go there.

The webpage of the university list has already been removed, so you will get an error if you click the link. But here is the copy of the list in case you are interested:
