Table 3.1: Respective Grade and Mata Nilaian

The minimum passing grade is D+.

In order for students to achieve KB result, that is CPA > 2.0, students need to

1. Tarik Diri (TD) – TD grade is given to students who drop the paper.

2. Tidak Selesai (TS) – TS grade is given to students who did not sit for the final

examination due to valid reasons as approved by the university. The credit will

not be counted in the calculation of Kredit Kira, Kredit Dapat, GPA and CPA.

Students will then need to sit for Peperiksaan Khas as a replacement for the

final exam. The result of this Peperiksaan Khas will be used to recalculate the

GPA and CPA.

3. Hadir Lulus (HL) – HL grade is given to subject that is registered under Hadir

Wajib (HW) status. For HL, the credit is counted in the Kredit Dapat, but it will

not be used in calculating the GPA and CPA.

provisional result (keputusan tampal) is released.

• Fees amounting to RM 50.00 will be charged to students for the appeal

process.

at UTM.



3.4 Peperiksaan Khas

Students that are unable to sit for final exam must get a sick certificate from the

government clinic or hospital.

The sick certificate must be presented to UTM invigilator within 24 hours from

time of the final exam.

1. Current CPA is KB;
