1.

The Higher Education Statistics Book is published by the Ministry of Higher Education to serve as a vital reference for national higher education development, focusing on the status of students and academic staff across all public and private institutions, and tracking graduate employment outcomes. This seven-chapter book provides comprehensive data on student intake, enrollment, and output, segmented by gender, study level, and field across Public Universities (UA), Private Institutions (IPTS), Polytechnics, and Community Colleges. Crucially, the data collected in the book confirms that all Public Universities comply with tracking and measuring admissions for underrepresented groups. This is confirmed through the provision of detailed data in Chapter 2, which covers student enrollment and output information according to gender (including women) and enrollment information for Students with Disabilities (OKU) according to disability category. The fact that this data is officially collected, measured, and published by the Ministry of Higher Education indicates that the mechanism for tracing and recording these underrepresented groups is available and operational at the public university level.

The university's commitment to maintaining high-quality, reliable data for national reporting is centralized through the SQRC (Strategic Quality and Risk Centre), which plays a critical role in monitoring data submission to the MyMOHEs system. MyMOHEs is the Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education's (KPT) key data system, designed to integrate and enhance the quality of information across all public universities quickly and accurately. UNIMAS's SQRC ensures that the data inputs for the system's main modules—covering students, staff, research & development, and institutional metrics—meet the required standards for accuracy, completeness, and timely delivery. This meticulous data monitoring is vital because MyMOHEs is directly used by the Ministry to perform data quality assessments and execute the star rating process for public universities, ensuring that UNIMAS's performance is accurately reflected in national evaluations.
