Ever wondered which are the top private colleges in Malaysia?

Enter MyQUEST (Malaysian Quality Evaluation System for Private Colleges), a rating system developed by the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) in 2010 to gauge the level of quality of our local private colleges. Based on this system, colleges are scored from 1 to 6 stars, with 1 being the lowest, and 6 being the highest accolade an institution could achieve.

The release of the MyQUEST 2016/2017 results saw a total of 15 colleges awarded with 6 Stars (Outstanding), as compared to 8 in MyQUEST 2014/2015. Additionally, 63 colleges were awarded 5 Stars (Excellent) in the recent ratings as compared to 52 colleges in the previous report.
