ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS
AIMST foundation / Matriculation with a minimum CGPA of 2.00 and a credit in Additional Mathematics at SPM level or equivalent / Mathematics and any one of the science subjects at SPM level or equivalent. i. A pass in Matriculation of Foundation studies with a minimum CGPA of 2.00; OR ii. A pass in STPM with a minimum grade of C (CGPA 2.00) in any TWO (2) subjects or any equivalent qualification; OR iii. A pass inSTAM with a minimum grade of Jayyid in any TWO (2) subjects; OR AND a credit in: a. Additional Mathematics at SPM level or its equivalent; OR b. Mathematics and any one of the Science, Technology, or Engineering subjects at SPM level or its equivalent. Notes: Candidates for category (b) need to take a reinforcement Mathematics with appropriate topics in the discipline of Computer Science, Data Science or Software Engineering at the beginning of the study. Students are required to pass the reinforcement Mathematics as a prerequisite before being allowed to take related core courses. The candidate can sit for any subjects that did not indicate Mathematics as a pre-requisite. Reinforcement Mathematics can contribute to the overall graduating credit. Students from Matriculation/Foundation or its equivalent can be exempted from taking the Reinforcement Mathematics, provided that the mathematics offered at that programme level is equivalent / more than the Additional Mathematics offered at an SPM level. iv. A pass in STPM (Science Stream) or its equivalent with a minimum grade of C (CGPA 2.00) in Mathematics subject and ONE (1) Science/ICT subject; OR v.
