National Graduate Employability Index

Employers' Choice of University.

Malaysia's universities, recognised for the graduates they produce. Explore every institution by field of study, location and type.

Explore the directory
The Directory

Malaysia's universities, at a glance.

Built from Talentbank’s annual survey of over 1,000 organisations across Malaysia, and announced each year at the Employers' Choice Award, held during the Raya season.

The full national directory launches soon.
The method

We ask the people who do the hiring.

Thousands of employers answer this survey every cycle.

01Which universities do you frequently hire from?
02How many graduates did you hire?
03Will you hire from them again?

The third question carries the weight. Anyone can be hired once. A university whose graduates employers keep coming back for is telling you something no prospectus can.

A note from our founder

Wherever I go, someone asks me the same question. A parent at an event, a student after a talk, a stranger who hears what we do. Which university should I go to?

For a long time I did not have a good answer. I could give an opinion, like anyone else. But I had no real data to point them to, nothing that told them where their choice might actually lead.

That is why we built this.

I built this for a simple reason. Every school leaver deserves a better university and a better tertiary education, and with it a better chance of landing a job on graduation. My hope is that no one chooses a university because a campus is near home or looks impressive in a brochure. I want that choice made on what employers are actually hiring for.

After school comes university, and after university comes work. So the question that matters most is a practical one: do employers value the graduates who come from here?

Each year we ask them. We survey thousands of employers across Malaysia about the talent they hire and the campuses they return to. This directory is built from what they tell us, not from opinion, and not from anything a university can pay for.

Every university here has earned its place through that recognition. We do not rank one above another, because the right university is the one that fits the person, and different campuses lead in different fields. Use the filters to find that fit, by field, by location and by the kind of institution that suits you.

If it helps, share it with someone facing the same decision. The more honestly this choice is made, the better it is for everyone, students, employers and universities alike.

The Recognition
◆ ◆ ◆

Belong on the Index.

Universities: recognition comes from employers' own ratings, never from an application or a fee. Employers: tell us the campuses you hire from. Together we keep the Index true to the market.
