UPM Thesis Help

Where UPM Submissions Stall

Why UPM Thesis Help Requests Arrive at GS-15a, Not Earlier

Six points in the SGS requirements that catch Universiti Putra Malaysia candidates near the end.

🌍

No SDGs under the abstract

SGS asks for an abstract of 300 to 500 words in both English and Bahasa Melayu, with up to five keywords and up to three Sustainable Development Goals. Candidates who copied the abstract format from a journal paper usually have keywords but no SDGs at all.

🏷️

A title longer than 20 words

The SGS requirement caps the thesis title at 20 words. Long titles that list every variable, the population and the state are common in survey studies, and trimming one late means checking it against what was registered.

📉

Similarity above the school's cap

SGS sets a Turnitin similarity limit of 25% or less, and 20% for students in the School of Business and Economics. A business candidate working to the general 25% figure can arrive at submission five points over without realising it.

⏳

GS-14a filed too late

The GS-14a notice goes to your Faculty's Deputy Dean (Graduate Studies) at least three months before you intend to submit. The examination committee is only nominated after that, so a late notice pushes everything back by the same amount.

📄

A PDF in the wrong order

SGS wants one PDF containing front matter, Chapter 1 onwards, references, appendices and the student's biodata, in that order. Separate files per chapter, or a biodata page placed before the references, mean the file is sent back.

↔️

Margins from another template

The SGS format is white A4 with 25 mm at the top, right and bottom and 40 mm on the left. Templates from journals or other universities rarely match, and the error repeats on every page that was pasted in.

How It Works

UPM Thesis Help in Five Steps

We read the SGS requirements and your Faculty's own instructions before we quote.

1

Tell us your form stage

Before GS-14a, waiting for the committee, ready for GS-15a, correcting, or ready for GS-16b.

2

Free check

We read your abstract and one chapter against the SGS requirements and list every likely query.

3

Fixed quote

A price per chapter or per stage, with a turnaround stated before you pay anything.

4

Writing by hand

Chapters, abstracts or corrections written with tracked changes, so your supervisor can see each edit.

5

Submission-ready PDF

One file in SGS order; you attach the forms and send the email yourself.

GS-15a date already set?Send the PDF and the date. If an AI score is also a worry, our hand-rebuild service can run alongside.

The SGS Route

What Do GS-14a, GS-15a and GS-16b Actually Ask of a UPM Candidate?

Six points from SGS pages, in the order you meet them.

📨

GS-14a, three months ahead

If you plan to submit, the GS-14a goes as a hard copy to your Faculty, School or Institute's Deputy Dean (Graduate Studies) at least three months before the intended date. Nomination of your examination committee can only start after that, and it needs approval at Faculty level and by the University Graduate Studies Committee.

🧾

GS-15a only after the committee

Submitting the thesis for examination on GS-15a is permitted only once the Thesis Examination Committee has been endorsed by the University Graduate Studies Committee. Finishing the thesis early does not let you skip that wait, which is why the notice timing matters so much.

📉

25%, or 20% at one school

The Turnitin similarity report for examination must be 25% or less. Students in the School of Business and Economics work to 20% or less. Check which figure applies before you start reworking, because the target changes how much needs rewriting.

📄

One PDF, sent by email

The examination copy is a single PDF: title page and front matter, Chapter 1 onwards, references, appendices and biodata of the student, in that order, sent with the required documents to the SGS thesis email. If an examiner asks for a hard copy, extra blank sheets go at the front and back.

🔁

GS-15b for resubmission

If the examination outcome requires the thesis to be resubmitted for examination, the form is GS-15b, and it goes in with a list of corrections. A clear correction list that points to pages saves the examiners time and saves you a further round.

📬

GS-16b, by email, no hardbound

From October 2025, final submission after Senate approval is a PDF sent by email with GS-16b, copying your main supervisor and your Faculty's Deputy Dean. Hardbound copies are no longer required, and SGS asks you not to put a password on the file.

At another Malaysian university?

Rules differ more than people expect. USM wants its PDF password-protected while SGS asks for no password, and UKM uses its own referencing style. See the USM thesis page, the UKM thesis page or our IIUM thesis help.

Formatting only?

If your chapters are final and only the layout, numbering and PDF need work, a formatting job is smaller and cheaper than thesis help. Our thesis formatting service prices by length and handles SGS margins and spacing.

The Difference

Most Services Treat a UPM Thesis Like Any Malaysian Thesis

Six things that change when the work starts from what SGS actually publishes.

🌍

SDGs chosen with a reason

We pick SDGs that your objectives and findings support and tell you why each one fits. Three loosely related goals under an abstract invite an examiner question you then have to answer.

📉

The right similarity target

We ask your school before reworking. A School of Business and Economics thesis has a lower cap than the rest of UPM, and working to the wrong figure wastes a revision round.

🧾

Work planned around the forms

Timelines are set against GS-14a, committee endorsement and GS-15a, not against an abstract deadline. You know which week each chapter needs to be final.

📚

References you can open

Every source we add is real and traceable, and we flag any entry already in your list that we cannot find. No reference is added just to make a literature review look longer.

🔁

Corrections logged by page

Each examiner point is answered in the text and listed with the page number, which is the list SGS asks for alongside GS-15b.

🤝

You send, we prepare

We never email SGS or your Faculty for you. You stay the author, the signatory on every GS form, and the person who presses send.

Real Outcome

Case Study: A UPM Business Thesis Five Points Over Its Cap

CandidateA.R.

LevelMaster's by research

AreaManagement, SPSS survey study

Caught AtTwo weeks before GS-15a

✓ Submitted inside the 20% cap

🔴 The Problem

A.R. was a master's candidate in the School of Business and Economics with a survey-based study analysed in SPSS. The committee had been endorsed and the GS-15a date was close. The Turnitin report showed 25%, which A.R. had been told was the UPM limit, but the school's own figure is 20%. Most of the overlap sat in Chapter 2, where definitions and theory descriptions followed the original wording too closely, and in the method chapter, where instrument descriptions had been copied from the source scales. The abstract was 640 words with keywords but no SDGs, and the title ran to 26 words. The PDF had been assembled as five separate chapter files.

🔵 What We Did

We rewrote the Chapter 2 passages from the sources, keeping every citation, and rewrote instrument descriptions in A.R.'s own terms with the scale origins cited. The abstract pair was cut to under 500 words each, with two SDGs A.R. could defend. Three shorter titles went to the supervisor, who picked one. The chapters were compiled into one PDF in SGS order.

🟢 The Result

The next Turnitin report came back under 20%, and A.R. submitted GS-15a on the planned date. The title change was agreed with the supervisor before submission, and the PDF went in as a single file.

FAQ

UPM Thesis Help Questions: SGS Forms, Format and Similarity

The first submission and format check is free. One chapter revised against supervisor comments starts at RM 320, the abstract pair with keywords and SDGs at RM 360, and layout plus the single SGS-order PDF at RM 430. Examiner corrections start at RM 660, a mock viva at RM 810, and a full master's thesis at RM 1,980. PhD work is quoted by agreement.

The SGS requirement is an abstract of 300 to 500 words in both English and Bahasa Melayu, with up to five keywords and up to three Sustainable Development Goals. We write both versions from your findings rather than translating one into the other, and pick SDGs your study can actually support.

SGS sets the Turnitin similarity limit for examination at 25% or less, and at 20% or less for students in the School of Business and Economics. We rework passages to bring the report down properly, but we cannot guarantee a figure, because the result depends on your sources and Turnitin's database.

SGS asks for the GS-14a to reach your Faculty, School or Institute's Deputy Dean (Graduate Studies) at least three months before you intend to submit. Your examination committee is nominated only after that. We can help get chapters ready in those three months, but the form is yours to file.

Not quite. SGS permits the GS-15a submission for examination only after your Thesis Examination Committee has been endorsed by the University Graduate Studies Committee. A finished thesis waits for that endorsement, which is why we plan your chapter deadlines from the GS-14a date.

SGS asks for a single PDF in this order: title page and front matter, Chapter 1 onwards, references, appendices, and the student's biodata. Separate files per chapter or biodata in the wrong place are common reasons for a return. We compile the file and check fonts and figures after conversion.

White A4, with 25 mm at the top, right and bottom and 40 mm on the left. Text is double-spaced. Footnotes, long quotations, references, multi-line captions, appendices and headings are single-spaced. We set this at the start of revision so new pages arrive in the right format.

SGS sets 12,000 to 50,000 words for a master's thesis and 20,000 to 100,000 words for a PhD, excluding tables, figures and appendices. If you are over, we usually find the excess in repeated background across Chapters 1 and 2, and in a discussion that restates results.

The SGS requirement caps the title at 20 words. If yours is longer, we draft shorter options that keep the key variables and setting. Agree any change with your supervisor first, because the title appears on forms and must match across them.

No. SGS states that from October 2025 the final thesis after Senate approval is sent as a PDF by email with GS-16b, copied to your main supervisor and your Faculty's Deputy Dean, and printed hardbound copies are no longer required. SGS also asks you not to password-protect the file.

GS-15b is the SGS form for resubmitting a thesis for examination, and it goes in with a list of corrections. We answer each examiner point in the text and log it with a page number, which gives you the list the form requires.

Yes. Some of our writers work in academic Bahasa Melayu, and we receive Bab 1 to Bab 5 requests in BM regularly. The abstract still needs both languages under SGS rules, so we write the English version properly as well.

No. We are independent and have no affiliation with UPM, SGS or any Faculty. The rules on this page come from SGS pages UPM publishes. Your Faculty may add its own requirements, so we always ask you to confirm them.
