- 25% repayment from the total loan received if the student works at a government-linked company (GLC) after graduation within the period specified in the agreement;
- 50% repayment from the total loan received if the student works at a private company in Malaysia after graduation within the period specified in the agreement; and
- Full loan repayment if the student works abroad.
