SHAH ALAM: New guidelines to standardise the awarding of First Class degrees will be introduced across all higher education institutions, says Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir (pic).
He said the move is important to ensure a uniform assessment standard between public higher education institutions (IPTA) and private higher education institutions (IPTS), particularly in relation to the exemption of National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) loan repayments for graduates who obtain First Class degrees.
