Congratulations to everyone who successfully completed their UECs!

Check out our list of scholarships for Malaysian students (2019) for other pre-U qualifications.
How to calculate UEC results
UEC’s point calculating system can be quite confusing for some students. Hence, a simple explanation below can guide you through the list:
Add the points of your (usually 5 or 6) best subjects
Points on each grade as follows: A1=1, A2=2, B3=3, B4=4, B5=5, B6=6.
So if 5 of your best subjects are as follows: A1, A2, B3, B4, B5
The total score will be: 1+2+3+4+5 = 15 point(s)
(*Only grades A1, A2, B3, B4, B5 and B6 to be included in calculation.
C7, C8 and F9 cannot be included in the calculation.)
