She added that entry pathways into IPGM have been expanded to include graduates of the Sijil Pelajaran Tinggi Malaysia (STPM), Sijil Tinggi Agama Malaysia (STAM), and Tahfiz Ulul Albab (TMUA) programmes, in line with the ministry’s aim to attract high-potential candidates from diverse academic backgrounds.
