Kuala Lumpur: A total of 8,909 students have been offered places to continue their studies in Form 1 and Form 4 at Maktab Rendah Sains Mara (MRSM) campuses for the 2025 academic year, according to Majlis Amanah Rakyat (MARA) chairman Datuk Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki. He mentioned that the successful applicants had met the minimum qualifications, including passing the MRSM Entrance Aptitude Test (UKKM) and fulfilling other requirements set by the institution.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, MARA received 93,635 applications for Form 1 and Form 4 admissions, and only 8,909 students were successfully placed. Out of this number, 7,229 students have been placed in Form 1, while 1,680 students will enter Form 4, as stated by Asyraf Wajdi to reporters after the MARA Integrated Accounting Conference (MiCA).

Asyraf Wajdi also reiterated MARA's commitment to its inclusive policy, with 60 per cent MRSM placements allocated to students from low-income (B40) families and rural areas. He assured that financial constraints should not hinder students from accepting the offers, as MARA has implemented measures to assist families in need, particularly for essentials like uniforms, books, and hostel supplies.

He further advised parents or guardians to contact the relevant MRSM or MARA offices for assistance. Asyraf Wajdi assured that efforts to maintain the quality of education at MRSM will continue to be strengthened, in line with its philosophy of producing well-rounded students who excel in various aspects.

The offer confirmation checks began today at noon online, with successful applicants notified via SMS or email. Those who fail to confirm acceptance within seven days will be considered to have declined the MRSM offer. Applicants who are eligible but have not yet received an offer can check their status on January 13, with further checks available on January 27, March 3, and March 17 this year.
