Final Year Project (FYP) of Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology (FCSIT) in University Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) will be taken by a final year undergraduate. It is a one-year project that requires students to select a supervisor to do their project under his/ her supervision. This course requires the students to apply their knowledge to a specific topic and the project need to be completed within twelve months. Since it is a long term project, the cooperation between the supervisor and the undergraduate is very important. A supervisor may have a number of students under his/ her supervision. But each supervisor from different field would have their own set of rule-of-thumb in agreeing to be supervising FYP students. This results the wasting of time for both lecturers and undergraduates if the project they plan to do is not match their personal requirements, and delay the conduction of the FYP. This study aims to collect the data from different field of experts in FCSIT about the factors that affect their decision in accepting undergraduates to be supervising FYP and analyse the data using statistical analysis which is EFA to identify the factors that affecting their decision. CFA is used to test and evaluate the statistical model produced.
