• Answer:

  UCTI (formerly known as APIIT) is by far the most established IT University in Malaysia. APIIT and UCTI has been proven for their graduates employbility over the years and as I recall use to offer about 12-15 Degrees in IT & Computing when I was studying there in 2007. I think there are more to it now and you can check the website at www.ucti.edu.my Also, as I know UCTI have been the Champions of Microsoft Imagine Cup for 2010 and 2011 and also represented Malaysia in many World Championships of Software Design Competitions. My company highly look on UCTI and APIIT Graduates and we always prefer to hire the APIITians. I personally loved my time there and I have heard now even have more International Students at UCTI, not sure if thats the good thing, however it is a very multicultural and diversified place to study at. Suggest you check their website.
