❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I hold both a state foundation grant and a PTPTN loan simultaneously?Most state foundations (like TAPEM or Yayasan Johor) allow one-off subsistence dermasiswa grants alongside PTPTN. However, major federal scholarships like JPA or MARA prohibit concurrent active PTPTN loans.
How do I apply for the PTPTN First Class Loan Repayment Exemption at UTeM?Graduates achieving First Class Honours (CGPA ≥ 3.75) must submit an exemption application via the myPTPTN portal within 12 months of their official UTeM Convocation Ceremony along with certified degree certificates.
What is the minimum CGPA required to keep PTPTN loan disbursements active?PTPTN requires students to maintain a minimum GPA of 2.00 (Kedudukan Baik) every semester. If your GPA drops below 2.00, PTPTN disbursements will be suspended until your academic standing recovers.
