SEREMBAN, April 27 (Bernama) -- Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM) is among the public universities recognised as the Employer's Choice University in the field of graduate marketability by the renowned industry body, Talentbank.

Deputy Minister of Higher Education, Datuk Mustapha Sakmud presented the award to the deputy vice-chancellor (Academic and International) Prof Datuk Dr Nik Salida Suhaila at a leading hotel in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday (April 22).

He said the recognition is based on data from prestigious employers nationwide, such as PETRONAS, Public Bank, CIMB, Maybank and Hartalega, who assessed USIM’s ability to produce highly skilled, quality and competitive graduates.

"In line with USIM's mission to produce human capital grounded in Islamic knowledge for universal well-being, this achievement proves that USIM's approach of integrating naqli and aqli (revealed and acquired) knowledge has gained full trust from the industry," he said.

He added that it also put USIM on par with other leading universities in Malaysia as a top choice for producing graduates among major companies.
