CHENNAI, INDIA – Education Malaysia Global Services (EMGS), with the support of the Consulate General of Malaysia in Chennai, organised the MEGA Study in Malaysia Education Fair & Counsellor Workshop 2025, held in conjunction with the Malaysia– India Higher Education Forum (MAHEF 2025–India) on 15 December 2025.
The education fair, the largest of its kind ever held in Chennai, received an overwhelming turnout and strong interest from Indian students and families exploring Malaysia as a preferred higher education destination. The event served as a key platform for Malaysian universities to engage directly with high school students, A- Level and IB candidates, university students, parents, teachers, counsellors, and education agents.
A total of 15 leading Malaysian higher education institutions participated in the fair,
including:
• Akademi Laut Malaysia (ALAM)

The MEGA Study in Malaysia Education Fair aims to strengthen Malaysia’s brand presence as a rising global education hub while offering Indian students personalised guidance and direct access to Malaysian institutions. The event enabled families to gain deeper insights into Malaysia’s academic offerings, career pathways, affordability, multicultural environment, and globally recognised qualifications.
The fair also reinforced Malaysia’s ongoing commitment to fostering academic collaboration, talent development, and student mobility between Malaysia and India. Chennai remains one of Malaysia’s strongest student recruitment markets in India, and continued on-the-ground engagement is essential to building trust and maintaining visibility among prospective students and their families.
The sustained participation of Malaysian institutions demonstrates the Malaysian government’s commitment to strengthening bilateral ties through education and expanding opportunities for Indian students seeking high-quality international education.
