The official 2026 list. Chosen by university students nationwide. Audited by career services practitioners from 40+ universities.
The Graduates' Choice Award (GCA) presents the Graduates' Choice of Employer To Work For in 2026, an official list of Malaysia's most preferred employers, determined entirely by university students across the nation. This list reflects genuine student sentiment and serves as a trusted reference for graduates planning their first career steps.
Over the years, the GCA has accumulated more than 700,000 student votes, making it one of Malaysia's largest and most reliable indicators of employer attractiveness. Each year, undergraduates share their preferences for companies they believe offer strong career development, supportive cultures, and meaningful growth opportunities. These collective insights highlight the organisations that consistently stand out in the eyes of future talent.
For students, the GCA offers a straightforward way to identify reputable employers and plan career applications. For universities and industry, it offers valuable insight into what the next generation looks for in a workplace.
All results are based solely on votes from Malaysian undergraduates, ensuring accuracy, transparency, and fairness.
Each cycle, more than 2,500 nominated Malaysian employers are open to students to vote on. The organisations with the highest vote counts nationwide form the Top 1%. The most preferred graduate employers in the country.




















Some employers are preferred not once, but for consecutive years. It is the deepest signal of trust the register holds, and it belongs entirely to the students who keep choosing them.






Every industry, and the employer students in that field most want to join.
Recognition is conferred in person at the prestigious annual gala at Sunway Resort Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. Winners receive their trophies on stage from a university's most senior leadership before an audience of the nation's higher-education community.
It is recognition conferred by the very institutions that educate Malaysia's graduates, an authority earned in the vote and affirmed on stage.
