Deputy Vice Chancellor (Student Affairs and Alumni) of UPM, Prof. Dr. Mohd Fauzi Ramlan said the number comprised of 3,717 bachelor degree students, 884 diploma students and 502 new students registered under the foundation studies for agricultural science.
He also reminded those who have not received the offers may appeal within these two weeks to avoid missing lectures.
He commented on the female students’ ratio to male students as 3453 to 1649 was due to the implementation of meritocracy system to secure a list of good students.
“As for this year, five top preferred courses are accountancy, medicine, engineering, allied health and education and this is probably due to the career prospects they can offer.
New students will also attend the Minggu Perkasa Putra for a week where this orientation programme shall ease the students’ adjustment to the new environment.
“In accordance to the recent self-accreditation status, UPM will enhance human capital by producing quality graduates that meet employability requirements”.
