StudentMentor.my , eVTEC Academy's Signature​
About Us
​
StudentMentor.my is an initiative by eVTEC Academy, founded in 2011 by two brothers, Dr. Punithan Shan and Dr. Sanjay Shan, both of whom are qualified medical doctors, educators, and passionate community builders.
​
With a unique blend of medical discipline, academic excellence, and entrepreneurial drive, they recognized early on that education must go beyond exams and degrees. Their shared vision was to bridge the gap between learning and real-world application, a philosophy that became the foundation of eVTEC Academy.
Initially focused on developing online learning technologies for primary and secondary students as well as business training programs, eVTEC laid strong groundwork in the field of digital education.
​
By 2022, the brothers expanded their mission to higher education guidance, helping Malaysian students navigate UPU applications and career pathways. This led to the establishment of StudentMentor.my in 2023, a dedicated platform designed to mentor students not just academically, but towards long-term career success.
​
Backed by years of experience in both healthcare and education, Dr. Punithan and Dr. Sanjay continue to guide students with a deep sense of responsibility and a clear goal:
​
To produce not just graduates, but capable, career-ready individuals who can thrive in the real world.
Our Mission

“Building Careers, Not Just Graduates”

At StudentMentor.my, we believe education is not an end—but a beginning.

We focus on helping students discover their true potential, align it with industry demands, and guide them toward careers that matter.

​
• Equip students with knowledge beyond the classroom
• Provide real-world guidance rooted in industry needs
• Build confidence in their academic and career journey
• Match passion with purpose, and purpose with professional growth
We’re not here just to produce graduates—we’re here to build a generation of skilled, purpose-driven professionals who are ready to thrive in today’s competitive world.

Our Impact (as of 2024)
​
At StudentMentor.my, our impact is measured not just in numbers—but in transformed lives and meaningful career journeys.
Since our formal establishment in 2023, we have proudly guided:
• 3000+ students into IPTA (public universities) through our strategic UPU guidance
• 2000+ students into IPTS ranging from TVET programs , MBBS, engineering, IT, business, and more
But we don’t just place students—we partner with purpose.
We work closely with selected IPT that share our values:

​
By aligning with institutions that are genuinely invested in student success, we ensure our students aren’t just enrolling in courses—they’re stepping onto the right path for a sustainable, fulfilling career.
Every student is individually assessed, mentored, and placed based on their strengths, interest, academic results, and the demands of the job market—not just availability of courses.
Together with our partner institutions, we are proud to be bridging the gap between education and employability, one student at a time.
