TEMERLOH: A total of 16,051 students who had borrowed from the National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN), need not repay their study loans for having passed with a First Class Bachelors Degree during the period from Oct 1 last year to Jan 31.

PTPTN chairman Datuk Ismail Mohamed Said said the students were exempted from repaying their loans after the PTPTN converted the status of their loan to a scholarship.
