Located in West Point, New York, the US Military Academy grants a bachelor of science degree, and the students will be graded based on their academic program, military leadership performance and mandatory participation in competitive athletics.

Each year, around 1,300 students enter the Academy in July, with about 1,000 students graduating.

In 2017, two National Defence University (UPNM) alumni, Wan Kamal Fitri Wan Kamal and Sayniish Pillay Muniandy, also gained admission to the prestigious military academy.

Congratulations, guys! You make us proud!
