BEAUFORT, Aug 24 — Application for admission to the Mara Junior Science Colleges (MRSM) for the 2021 session for Form 1 and 4 students opens from 9am today.
Mara chairman Datuk Azizah Mohd Dun said students applying for admission to MRSM for next year’s session are required to sit for the MRSM Entry Tendency Test (UKKM) to test their potential and interests in Mathematics, Science and English as well as an aptitude test.
She said application can be made through the website http://www.mara.gov.my and the closing date is on December 4.
“Candidates must pass all four UKKM tests to qualify to be considered for entry to MRSM and priority is given to students from low-income families. Applicants are advised to apply early to avoid any problems and facilitate the implementation of UKKM,” she added.
She told reporters this after officiating the two-day Mara Educational Institution Carnival, at Dewan Pa’Musa here yesterday.
The Beaufort Member of Parliament said a Mara Professional College (KPM) would be built on a 30-hectare site in Beaufort.
The college, which will be the first in Sabah, is expected to be in operation in 2023, she added.
