Purpose of UiTM’s Existence
• To date, UiTM has brought significant impact to the nation
through:
•
Producing critical mass of human capital
•
Leveraging on economic status of Bumiputera

Contributing to the national sustainability and prosperity
21
Profile of UiTM Students

may be short on achievement at entry point. Other
universities pride themselves in polishing gold. UiTM takes
a great deal of ordinary clay and moulds it into works of
art.
• The top range students of UiTM are:
• As good as the top range anywhere else
• Larger in numbers than other top universities in the
country
• For example: in Law, Mass Comm, Engineering,
Architecture, Pharmacy and of course, Music - the elite
of the professions are handsomely represented by UiTM
graduates.

Selected Success Stories of UiTM
27
Academic Staff Recognition

Recognition of The Vice Chancellor
From Oxford University
29
Impact
• UiTM has been a catalyst of social engineering for
Bumiputeras.
• It is perhaps one of the greatest success stories of
the government.
30
Impact
• With the present intake policy of democratizing
Bumiputera education and providing places for
upgrading the poor, we are taking part in transforming
the nation.
• There is proof that our efforts to upgrade even the
weakest have produced captains of industries
• On the issue of quality of students, distinction must be
made between quality at entry point and quality at exit
point. from the point of view of social justice, entry
points are less important than exit points. it is not how a
kid begins the race. it is how he ends the race that
matters.

TRANSFORMING DESTINY of
the poor
SPECIAL CSR PROGRAMME
ENGINEERING THE DESTINY OF
STREET KIDS
33
• A large portion of excellent students
based on national exams apply to study
at UiTM and they are chosen based on
merit
• 250K apply for 373 academic
programmes offered but only 25K are
admitted in a year (only about 10%)
• These students form the core group of
our student population
• Recent survey showed that 80% came
from well to do families and from
selected boarding schools
34
• But what about the poor and the under
privileged?
• We also mould the low achievers from poor
families to become successful
• We have trained about 20,000 from this group
since 2010
• 85% have been successful in their pre-diploma
programmes and now they are joining the main
stream diploma students
• Our alumni have been supporting this
programme financially
• The Prime Minister is the patron
