Introduction
Asasi is a foundation course that is offered by the government. It is a specific foundation course because it's designed to fit the curriculum of that particular university’s degree course.
There are two types of Asasi programmes which are Program Satu Tahun (PST) and Program Dua Tahun (PDT).
The types of Asasi programmes available are undang-undang, sains, perakaunan, kejuruteraan, and TESL.
The courses are available at UM, UIAM, UiTM, UPM, USIM, UPNM, USM and UNIMAS.
The major difference between Asasi and Matrikulasi is that Asasi is only offered to Bumiputeras and Asasi is specific to the degree course offered by a particular college.
Eligibility
Asasi is catered only for Bumiputera students.
Students who intend to study Asasi should have completed their SPM with a minimum of 5 credits including a credit in Bahasa Malaysia.
Interested and eligible students can start their application for Asasi sometime in January. The advertisement for Asasi application is usually online and in the local Malay newspapers in December. This whole process can be done online by obtaining a special pin number from Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN).
Cost
The tuition fees is subsidised by the government. In addition, students will be given an allowance of RM1, 250 per semester. RM350 for tuition fees per semester and RM360 per semester for accommodation is also awarded. Students stay in hostels that are provided by the universities.
Recognition
Students who perform very well in Asasi are more often than not confirmed a seat in IPTA. Students have to apply for IPTA through Unit Pusat Universiti (UPU). Usually students will get to complete their degree in the same universities that offered them Asasi.
Duration
Asasi is stretched across one year (two semesters) with a total of 38 credit hours.
Governing Body
Asasi is governed and managed by specific universities. Only candidates who are doing Asasi at Universiti Malaya and UiTM would have to apply for local universities through BPKP or USM. Other than these, students will be admitted to a degree course in the universities they are currently doing foundation at.

and for your information, if you guys join Asasi Alam Bina in UM, you are not allowed to switch universities after completing the course as it is a feeder program. you already have place in UM. :)
that's absolutely right.. for those who r really interested in architecture or in career that is related to Built Environment.. at least u have ur place secured.. but, if u join Asasi Sains Hayat or Asasi Sains Fizikal in UM, it risk u a lot.. u will get a good course later in the faculty if and only if u score a good pointer.. the same goes 4 da matriculation.. but, to be in the asasi, u should have a lot of energy, as it is quite tiring, especially in UM.. I, myself, am still studying in Asasi Sains Hayat.. think twice before choosing where u want to further ur studies, either in asasi or matrix... :)
