In line with Malaysia Education Blueprint (Higher Education) 2015-2025, the implementation of Integrated Cumulative Grade Point Average (iCGPA) for Diploma in Public Administration (DPA) in the Faculty of Administrative Science and Policy Studies (FSPPP), Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) was started in July - October 2016 academic session. Hence, there is a need to evaluate the implemention of the iCGPA attainment. Therefore, this paper aims to examine the iCGPA achievement on the first cohort of the DPA students based on their examination and academic performance. Results from the first iCGPA cohort in DPA were analysed and compared to produce a report on the iCGPA evaluation. The findings had revealed that the DPA students were able to attain better GPA and CGPA and lower percentage of failure rates. In addition, the findings had revealed that the faculty was able to meet its academic Key Performance Indicators (KPI). Indeed, throughout the iCGPA implementation, students were able to reach grade B and A+ for all the nine (9) learning outcomes proposed in iCGPA. To monitor the results, the faculty has developed the iCGPA Reporting Card (iRC) in 2017 which aims to assess the attainment of Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) to monitor the continuous improvement efforts in teaching and learning and a friendly user reporting card in reporting the overall undergraduate academic programme achievement (iCGPA). It was suggested that iCGPA is to be continued at diploma levels with proper modifications and should be extended to all UiTM campuses which offer DPA programme.
