Students who failed to secure places at public universities might have second chance at private institutions

• PTPTN and private education operators might help students denied of public university seats

The Education Ministry is looking into the possibilities of helping the 16,229 students who were left with no offers through a working solution with private education operators and the National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN).

A list of private colleges and universities (IPTS) which will have places available to accommodate the students is on the works. The students will receive assistance from PTPTN and their loans are convertible to scholarships if they obtain first class honours.
