About Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS
Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS is a Private university in Malaysia, ranked #261 in the QS World University Rankings 2027. We confirm the exact fees, intakes and entry requirements for your profile — free.
Indicative tuition: MYR33,000–MYR41,250 / year · Scholarships can reduce this — we confirm what you qualify for, free.
Entry requirements
Typically for Malaysian universities in this band, a recognised bachelor's degree in a related field — a three-year Indian degree is normally accepted — with a CGPA of around 2.75–3.00/4.00 (roughly 55–60%, though Indian percentage-to-CGPA conversion is not standardised and some universities set a higher bar). English is usually IELTS 6.0 or TOEFL equivalent; many institutions accept a medium-of-instruction letter from an English-taught Indian degree instead, but a number do not, so book the test unless your university has confirmed in writing that it will waive it. MBA and some professional programmes ask for CGPA 3.00 or relevant work experience. Requirements vary by programme, and Vibedu confirms the exact ones — including whether an MOI letter is accepted — for you free of charge.
Indicative for international postgraduate applicants — your counsellor confirms the exact cut-offs and English scores for your chosen programme, free.

Indicative estimate (annual tuition + living, RM ). Your counsellor confirms exact fees, living costs and the scholarships that reduce this — free. Living costs are an indicative national range in RM , not this university's own figure. Tuition varies by course here, so we'd rather confirm your exact fee than print an average — ask us and it's free.
Exchange rates as of 18 Aug 2026 (32 days ago) — European Central Bank reference rates (AED via open.er-api.com), mid-market. The INR figure is converted from RM at that rate. Your bank's remittance rate will be worse than mid-market, and currencies move a percent or two a month, so use these for planning rather than as the amount you will actually pay.
