As one of the most popular pre-u program, Matrikulasi or Matriculation Program under the Ministry of Education (MOE) is one of the fastest and cost-efficient route to tertiary education in local public universities.
Students are selected based on a meritocratic system, which is calculated by taking into account 90% of your academic results and 10% of your co-curricular performance. Your family socioeconomic background will also be taken into consideration. Matrikulasi is primarily reserved for bumiputera students, with approximately 10% of the spots going to the non-bumiputeras.
