80,319 Applications Received for the 2020 MRSM Form One Intake

A total of 80,319 applications were received for the 2020 form one intake at MARA Junior Science Colleges (MRSM). This figure significantly exceeded the available quota of 7,628 student places. The application results were made available on December 15, which was earlier than in previous years, allowing parents to prepare for the January 6 registration.
Application Numbers and Quota

The 80,319 applications were for a total quota of 7,628 students. This intake was divided among various MRSM programmes, including Premier MRSM, Ulul Albab MRSM, and those offering the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE), as well as Technical and International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programmes.
Early Announcement of Results

Minister of Rural Development Datuk Seri Rina Mohd Harun stated that the results for the 2020 intake were released earlier than usual. Previously, announcements were made after the new school session began, often requiring selected students to register at other schools first. The early release on December 15, just two weeks after the November 30 application closing date, aimed to facilitate parental preparations for the January 6 registration.
Focus on B40 Families and Financial Aid

For the 2020 MRSM intake, 60 per cent of the student quota was allocated to students from B40 families. This initiative is intended to support their education in a conducive environment, with the hope of improving their families' future prospects. MARA provides an aid scheme called Aid For Education (BUDI), supported by corporate companies, for recipients from less well-to-do families. This aid includes RM50 in monthly pocket money, an exemption from RM60 in monthly hostel fees, and a RM1,500 one-off payment for school supplies.
