Unlike the other IPTAs, USM has its own application process. If you’re a post-Matriculation/Asasi, STPM or Diploma student and want to continue your studies in USM, find out how to apply with our simple step-by-step guide.

Step 1:

Buy a USM pin from BSN

You can do it via ATM, online banking (through http://www.mybsn.com.my/) or SMS banking

You can get a list of all the BSN ATM branches here: http://www.mybsn.com.my/mybsnweb/ccBranchLocator_add.do

For more info on how to apply for the pin number, click here: http://upu.mohe.gov.my/portal/epanduan/panduan_bsn.pdf

The USM pin number will cost RM40 per person

You will be given a Unique ID

Step 2:

Go to http://pohon.usm.my click on “Login Kali Pertama”. Key in your details and USM Pin and you will receive a reference number (no. rujukan)

REMINDER: Remember your reference number. Print it out and keep it safe or write it down because you will need it if you forget your password.

Step 3:

Login with your Reference Number and Password and apply for your course.

Candidates from Matriculation/Asasi UiTM/PASUM and STPM students are allowed to apply for up to eight (8) courses

Candidates from Diploma or equivalent are allowed to apply for up to four (4) courses

You will not be offered any courses that you did not apply for

Step 4:

Apply for the MALAYSIAN UNIVERSITY SELECTION INVENTORY (MUnSyI) Test. This is important. You are required to sit for this test to qualify for USM.
