Analysis:
- For critical courses, Indian students make up 5.56% of the overall intake,
which is 254 students out of 4567.
- Overall Indian intake is (6.84%). Meaning out of 40,184 students,
about 2749 students are Indians.
- Total Indian students who are offered non-critical courses is
2749-254 = 2495 (90.76% of total students)
- Overall Bumiputra intake is 62.19%, which is 24,990 out of 40,184
successful students.
- Total Bumiputra students offered non-critical courses is
24,990 - 2415 = 22,575 (90.33% of total students)
- Overall Chinese intake is 30.97%, which is
12,445 out of 40,184 successful students.
- Total Chinese students offered non-critical courses is
12,445 - 1898 = 10,547 (84.75% of total students)
- Total admission is 40,184. Total applications is 67,143.
(59.85%) of applicants successfully got a place in public university.
- At a glance, the biggest winners are the Chinese students, since their
intake is quite above their population.
- This implies that meritocracy is implemented, though I'm not sure if
really 62.19% of bumiputras got in via meritocracy or not. Data on breakdown
of students from matriculation/STPM is not provided.
- Indians need to increase percentage by about 1% to represent current
population (7.8%). Increase of more than that means Indian students are
performing well.
Some facts from the article:
1. Announcing the results for the 2008/2009 intake into public universities
yesterday, Prof Radin Umar said that 40,184 STPM and equivalent candidates,
out of the 67,143 who applied, were offered places in the 20 public
universities.The breakdown of successful candidates was 62.19% bumiputra,
30.97% Chinese and 6.84% Indian.
2. Prof Radin revealed that 1,963 candidates who applied for places had a
CGPA of 4.0.
Note : There was no mention of how many qualified via STPM compared to UITM matriculation?
3. Successful female applicants made up 64.5% of the total number, in line
with the past few years' trend. "Female students tend to be more serious in
their studies. Male students need to work harder. However, we will not give
males any special consideration as the selection process is based on
meritocracy," Prof Radin said.

Education Ministry until June 27. Students who have queries can
