Kuala Lumpur: Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM) is among the public universities recognised as the Employer's Choice University in the field of graduate marketability by the renowned industry body, Talentbank. USIM Career and Alumni Centre director Prof Dr Mahazan Abdul Mutalib@Taib said the success is a result of the synergy between the government, industry, all faculties and departments at USIM in strengthening the marketability of its graduates.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Deputy Minister of Higher Education, Datuk Mustapha Sakmud presented the award to the deputy vice-chancellor (Academic and International) Prof Datuk Dr Nik Salida Suhaila at a leading hotel in Kuala Lumpur.
