03 / Indian qualifications

The board matters.
The subjects do too.

UTM explicitly names ISC Standard XII, CBSE's All India Senior School Certificate, state Higher Secondary qualifications including Kerala HSE and Karnataka PUC, and other listed Indian certificates.

UTM uses the grade terms B-1 or B+. This page does not convert them into a universal percentage. Faculty-specific requirements still apply. Meeting a published minimum is not an admission guarantee.

Engineering: Maths + Physics

Grade B-1 or B+ and above in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry or Biology.

Computer Science: Maths + two subjects

Grade B-1 or B+ and above in Mathematics and two of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Information and Communications Technology, Computer Science, Programming or Computing.

Science: three relevant subjects

Grade B-1 or B+ and above in any three of Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Natural Science.

Social Science and Built Environment

UTM requires B-1 or B+ and above in three listed relevant subjects. Mathematics is compulsory for Psychology with Human Resource Development, Architecture and Geomatics Engineering in the respective streams. Check the full subject list and faculty conditions on the official entry page.

04 / Keep the routes separate

English for
undergraduate entry.

UTM's English page separates TESL from other undergraduate programmes. It says test results are valid for two years; expired results are not accepted.

Postgraduate entry is different. Do not reuse these undergraduate scores for a Master's application.

All UG except TESL

5.5

IELTS minimum. Alternatives include TOEFL iBT 46, MUET 4.0 or PTE Academic 51.

TESL undergraduate

6.5

IELTS minimum. Alternatives include TOEFL iBT 79, MUET 5.0 or PTE Academic 63.

If you do not yet meet the English score

UTM lists its Intensive English Programme followed by an accepted test score, or ELS's Certified Intensive English Programme at level 108, as undergraduate routes. Its table does not list CIEP as a TESL alternative. Confirm the intended course and progression conditions before enrolling.

Exemptions are qualification-specific

The current English page lists international-school, A-level and International Baccalaureate qualifications, plus UTM or other Malaysian foundation programmes, as exemptions for international undergraduate students. An Indian passport or a claim of English-medium schooling alone is not the same as one of these listed qualifications. Ask UTM to assess your evidence.

05 / Before you apply

Check the offer.
Then plan the move.

UTM's admissions FAQ says it does not offer financial aid to international students and points to external schemes. Do not make an application budget depend on an unconfirmed award.

  1. Choose the exact programme and campus

    Check Indian certificate recognition, required subjects, English route and the current application cycle together.

  2. Request the full cost schedule

    Get normal and short-semester charges, housing, bond, refund terms and all other charges in writing.

  3. Plan the student pass with UTM

    Follow the current university and EMGS instructions after an offer. Do not treat admission dates as visa approval or travel dates.
