UPU results are expected to be released soon.

You've submitted your UPU application. Maybe you even did it at the very last minute, after changing your course choices 10 times (don't worry, we've all been there). For some, interviews are already underway, especially if you applied to competitive or practical-based programmes like medicine, TESL, or art and design.
But for everyone else, the application portal has closed, the forms are in, and now… the dreaded limbo. It's the stretch of time when you refresh your inbox 15 times a day, stalk the UPU Facebook page and pray the announcement comes soon.

Based on past years, UPU results usually come out between June and September
While there's no fixed annual date, we can look at trends from previous years to make some educated guesses:
Based on trends from previous years, SPM leavers can usually expect their UPU results to be released on the third week of June, while STPM or equivalent applicants typically receive theirs on the first week of September. These dates can vary depending on when national exam results are released and how long the vetting process takes.
You'll know the exact release date through UPU's official channels
UPU result announcements are only legit if they come from the official channels, including UPUOnline Portal and the Higher Education Ministry (MoHE).
You'll usually get a public announcement a few days before the actual result day, so there's no need to panic-scroll every night.
Beware of fake viral posts — some years, false "leaked" dates make the rounds. Always double-check with official sources.
When results are out, here's how to check yours without crashing the system
Method 1: UPUOnline Portal
- Visit the UPUOnline website
- Click on "Semakan Keputusan"
- Key in your IC number
You'll see your offer result, and sometimes a link to download your offer letter.
Tip: Check during off-peak hours (like early morning or late at night) to avoid heavy traffic
Method 2: UPU Pocket App
You can also check your results using the UPU Pocket mobile app, available on both Android and iOS. Just download it from the Play Store or App Store, log in with your IC number, and access your result info directly from the app.
This app is super handy for checking updates, announcements, and even tracking your application status throughout the cycle.
Method 3: Offer Letters from Institutions
Once you accept your offer, the university or polytechnic will issue an official offer letter via their own student portal or email.

So, what should you do if you get an offer, or if you don't?

If you got your offer
Congratulations! Here's what you should do next:
- Accept the offer on UPUOnline (follow the steps carefully)
- Visit the institution's official website for the registration guide
- Get your documents in order
- Save the registration date in your calendar!
If you didn't get any offer
You can still submit an appeal (e-Rayuan) through UPUOnline, which opens shortly after results are announced. Appeals are subject to remaining vacancies, so popular courses might already be full.
UPU results aren't the end. They're just one part of your bigger journey.
Remember, not getting your dream course — or any offer — doesn't define your worth. Plenty of successful people didn't get in through UPU. You can always reapply next year.
