Introduction

The most common meaning for matriculation refers to the formal process of entering a university or commonly known as pre-university. In Malaysia, students who have completed their Secondary School education can pursue to further their education in University. They will undergo pre- university study before enrolling into University. There are two routes to enter public universities.

Matriculation is one of the two major pre-university systems for admission to Malaysian public universities. The other is a STPM programme conducted by the Ministry of Education.

Most Bumiputras opt for matriculation programme. Ninety percent of the places in the matriculation programme is reserved for Bumiputras while the remaining 10% are distributed among non-bumiputras. This has become a source of contention because matriculation students, who will enter university one year earlier compared with their STPM peers, are considered on equal standing with STPM only in Malaysia for the purpose of university admission though it is significantly easier than STPM with a streamed down Form 6 syllabus.
