The duration of three months is given to you to submit a notice of thesis submission (NHT). You will submit to your supervisor the notice, and your supervisor will nominate examiners of your thesis. The nomination of examiners will be approved by the university Postgraduate Studies Academic Committee (JAPSU).  Once approved, the School of Graduate Studies will issue appointment letters to the examiners and faculty will arrange for the viva session.

Once the thesis is ready for submission, you are required to complete the thesis submission forms, run similarity test using Turnitin and get your supervisor approval. Please make sure that your thesis follows the UTM template and guideline. Please prepare three copies of your thesis to be submitted to the examiners to your faculty postgraduates office. The last day of thesis submission is on the last working day of the semester. You may find the date at the work schedule and course registration date.

After submitting  your thesis, you can start to prepare for your viva examination. You may find more tips on how to prepare for your viva in our how to prepare for your viva.
