3.4 INTEGRATED CUMULATIVE GRADE POINT AVERAGE (iCGPA)

st
The 1 shift of the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2015-2025 (Higher Education) is “Producing
holistic, entrepreneurial and balanced graduates”. In order to achive this goal, it is essential for
UTeM to develop a constructively aligned, holistic and integrated curriculum that embeds High
Impact Educational Practices (HIEP), which encompasses cognitive and conceptual clarity,
entrepreneurial skills, experiential learning and innovation.

In line with the policy of the nation, a new instrument, which is termed as Integrated Cumulative
Grade Point Average (iCGPA) is introduced by the Ministry of Higher Education to assess student
achievement based on this holistic, entrepreneurial and balanced graduates criteria. This new
instrument will be fully implemented starting from semester 1 session 2016/2017 in all public
universities.

Under the new system, upon graduation students have a comprehensive “report card”. Apart from
the conventional numerical CGPA and academic transcript, the report card is also consists of the
detailed soft skills that students have gained during their study at the university. These skills include
leadership, communication, entrepreneurial, social and critical thinking skills, which is displayed in
a spider web form as shown below.
