As all of us know that,ptptn is one of the most popular organization formed by government to provide financial aid to those students which intend to continue their study at university.Undeniably it really makes the university students life much more easier as they carefree about the fees and so on that related to money matter, as the amount of money loan by ptptn is more than enough for students daily expenses, fees, and sufficient amount of money for them to buy books as revision.Here is the deal, the students have to pay back the loan after they graduate from university regardless whether they can find a job or not with the interest of 4%.Therefore, as stated above, PTPTN provide a convenient alternative for students and financial problem is no longer an excuse for both of us to be excluded from study in the university.
Before the existence of PTPTN online applicancy, University students that intend to borrow PTPTN loan must get the application form from the university administrator and they have to fill in and complete the form fully in handwriting. As i know that during that time although there are few complains that the manual PTPTN application is too troublesome as there are too many things to be fill in in the form. But then this system had been used for many years without much obstacle and problem faced by our seniors.
Dramatically, everything had changed once the PTPTN administrator introduce the brand new online application for PTPTN loan during last year.The PTPTN had setup a web page and all the applicants can register their name in the webpage and print out the application form and contract after they were shortlisted and qualified to have the loan.But then it was not necessarily for the students to register online, they stil had the option to choose register manually.
As the time goes on, it becomes a must for students to apply PTPTN online and it happens during our batch. Both of us,willing or unwillingly have to create an account at PTPTN website before we enter university in order to register for PTPTN.It was quite chaotic at that particular time because the PTPTN doesnt send us any formal letter and tell us that we must apply PTPTN via online.As for me, my friend sms me and inform me bout this. That time i was thinking, what about those people that unable to receive any news from their friends?Won't it be unfair for them??
And then,for those who successfully create an online account at PTPTN page, they might meet with these following problems
1.after register they unable to login their own account, and there stated the ic number had been used by others.
2.the ptptn id, which referred as password and provided by UPU, is 13 characters long, but then the login site only accept 12 characters long password.(it is absurd)
3.Students must key in their SPM result, whereas the page only able to show 10 of their result, and the rest are embedded somewhere.
4.Matriks student have to crack their head and find the location to key in their matriks details and results.
5. etc
congrates for those who able to pass through these obstacles, and here come another trouble.
The PTPTN administrator sent speaker to the campus all over malaysia to explain and brief to the students about how to fill the contract and so on. Everybody concentrate and listen to them and write down every important points, and most of us actually follow the instruction.
During the day when the officer come and collect the contracts, everyone is panick when there are few addition things that they have to add inside their contracts, and otherwise their application will not be considered.Things came to worst when students have to queue up for ages just to passup their contracts. Sad to say that there are many forms being rejected and there are students who queue and queue and queue to passup his form as his form had been rejected for 8 times. For university students time is very important, why PTPTN only sends a few officer there to collect and check thousands of application forms?Consequently, the whole process becomes dull and not productive.
All in all, personally i strongly recommend that PTPTN online application should be banned for a while and reintroduce to us after they overcome all the problems in order to reduce unneccessary time and energy wasting.
Sincerely i hope all of you will post your comment about this topic..thank you.^^V

In my point of view, PTPTN online application has it own advantage and disadvantage. As the government try to make the application to be more sophisticated towards the globalization world today, it leads to many consequences to the applicants over the Malaysia.
On the good side, as Airina had mentioned before, PTPTN online can make students or applicants be more educated and full of skills on using this Information Technology (IT) whether they are live in urban area or even the rural area. Technology of computer can be denied as the most important gadget over the world nowadays. For a student like us, it is necessary to know the basic of computer at least using the Microsoft Word. What would happen if the lecturer gives a task and they are compulsory to do it with computer? Sooner or later, they have to learn it. So, it is good to start as soon as possible. In addition, most of the applications such as loan and scholarship right now are intend to do it online.
However, applicants must know the disadvantage of this online application and hence we must be patient with it. Several common problems that occur while applying the PTPTN are wrong password, unable to log in, and etc. like Yong has stated. I also had experienced these kinds of problems before where I could not log in and it is stated that I did not get the loan but the Ministry of High Education has already gives the password.
In a nutshell, I think that the problem of PTPTN online has it own benefit and disadvantage. Moreover, I hope that the government will upgrade the system so it will be more efficient and convenient.
That’s all from me..
Thank you.. =]
Hello everybody!!! Nice to meet you guys in this blog….It has been a month we have been dental students, so what do you think?? Is it fun or miserable? Only you know the answer..hehehehe..^-^
Hmm…ptptn on-line application??? Huh, such a miserable thing that I have ever been through. I really hate the word by ‘on-line’. So here, I strongly and strictly agree that the ptptn on-line application should be banned temporarily until it is conveniently enough to be used by people especially among students.
With me, I have a few reasons to support my statement. Firstly, since we know that everybody comes from different family background and yet, they have differ in way of life, so not people have at least a computer at their homes which is provided with the internet services. So, in order to apply for the ptptn loan, they have to go to the cyber café as the alternative way. They need to spend their time to go to the cyber café, and once they have been there, the web page cannot to be opened because the browser of the internet Explorer need to be more than 6.0 and above. Can you imagine how frustrated and tired they are, after they have spent money and time purposely for the ptptn, but nothing can do. It such a waste!
Okay, once we are able to get through the web, we have to fill the needed information. But, here is coming another problem. The completed form is unable to send.. This is happened to some of my friends and I. After we spent a few hours sit in front of the desktop, we are unable to do so. So, what is the problem now? There are a lot of people using the same web page, and it is difficult for us to open the web again.
Moreover, once the students are qualified enough to have the ptptn loan, they have to print out all those kind of documents themselves. There are a lot of pages needed and the students have to print out 4 sets each. If a printed paper cost about 30 cents, times with 80 printed pages, the total is RM24.00!! Plus, with the stamps that total is RM40.00, so it about a hundred that the students have to spend before get the ptptn loan money. For those who are come from poor family, where do they to get such big amount of money?
I think it is necessary that the ptptn on-line application should be reconsider again due to the above factors. That is all from me. Until we meet again. Bye
