Malaysia to recognise more degrees from India
The Malaysian government will take necessary actions to recognise more degree programmes from India especially in Information Technology (IT) and engineering, said Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.
Speaking at a joint media conference with his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi in Putrajaya today after engaging in a bilateral meeting, Najib said Modi had urged Malaysia to look at recognising more Indian degrees especially in the field of IT and engineering. Najib also pointed out that many Malaysians had received their education in India, particularly in medicine.
As he took stock of the urging, Najib said the Malaysian government would ask the higher education minister as well as Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) to discuss with the relevant authorities in India.
“We will take immediate action and discuss with the appropriate and relevant authorities in India. “This will enable us to recognise more degrees from Indian universities and polytechnics and technical colleges and more Indian degrees to be made available to Malaysia,” he said. Modi, who is here for a maiden official visit to Malaysia after assuming his post in 2014, arrived in Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur on Saturday to attend the 27th Asean Summit and Related Summits. – Bernama
