According to the Vice-Chancellor of UMPSA, Professor Dr. Yatimah Alias, Jom Masuk U is an annual event and an initiative by the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) aimed at providing students with opportunities and exposure regarding admission to Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).

“UMPSA will also participate in this Jom Masuk U tour across Malaysia to offer guidance and insight to prospective students in selecting the most suitable programmes, particularly for UPUOnline® applicants for the 2025/2026 Academic Session,” she stated.

She also advised students, parents, guardians, teachers, counsellors, and the public not to miss this opportunity to obtain academic information and guidance to ensure students make informed decisions when choosing their field of study.
