Indian Students in Malaysia Can Now Stay for 12 Months Post-Graduation for Post-Study Work Experience

A Precious Opportunity for Indian Graduates in Malaysia

23 June 2025

Malaysia has long been an Indian student favorite, thanks to excellent education, reasonable living expenses, and a multicultural, friendly environment. Today, there is an even more enticing new reason to study in Malaysia. Graduates from Malaysian universities can now apply for a 12-month Graduate Pass, a new initiative that allows them to remain in Malaysia after study to acquire professional work experience.

We at BCES Admissions Abroad understand that a degree is just the beginning. Our students also eagerly await actual work that will define their careers. This new venture in Malaysia is a great platform for Indian students to learn valuable skills and define their future globally.

What is the Graduate Pass?

The Graduate Pass is a new Malaysian government program that provides foreign students, such as Indian students, leave to remain in Malaysia for one year after studying. This is provided specifically for purposes of allowing the students to look for jobs, gain experiential learning through internship, or even work in the area of study.

Previously, international students used to have to exit Malaysia immediately after graduation without gaining any experience of working in the country. With a Graduate Pass, you now have sufficient time deciding what you would like to do next, whether it is beginning your professional career in Malaysia, working overseas, or gaining useful work experience on your resume before you head back to India.

Why Does This Matter to Indian Students?

This change makes Indian students accessible to new Malaysian sectors like Information Technology, Business, Finance, Healthcare, Engineering, and Tourism. With employment, students are able to apply their theoretical knowledge and attain practical knowledge in great demand by global employers.

Getting international work experience in Malaysia not only enhances your career opportunities but also provides you with an advantage if you are looking to work in India or any other nation. Located at the center of Southeast Asia, with a booming global presence, and with a contemporary business culture, Malaysia is just one of those places where you must begin your career.
