Abstract: In Malaysia, students will qualify to enroll into a Malaysian public university via three ways, that is, through three different entry requirement levels. The objective of this study is to investigate the performance of students of Universiti Teknologi MARA's (UiTM) Bachelor of Electrical Engineering Degree program based on the student's entry levels. We initiated a study of the longitudinal progress based on two consecutive intakes of matriculation students in July 2005 and July 2006. We applied the same methodology to two other consecutive intakes of Diploma July 2006 and July 2007 students' intakes. As a measure of the students' performance, we used the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) as the key performance index. In addition, this paper includes an overview of the Malaysian educational system. The outcomes of the research indicate that there is a relationship between the entry level and the final academic performance. Thus it can be concluded that the !
entry level requirement is an important factor in influencing the student's academic performance.
