Tunku Abdul Rahman University of Management and Technology (TAR UMT) is the country’s first higher education institution to be conferred the Esports Academy of the Year Award.

The varsity was nominated alongside Pahang Esports Academy, Todak Academy, and RSG Academy – making TAR UMT the only full-fledged university to be in the running for the award presented during the inaugural Malaysia Esports Awards 2023, which was held on Jan 27 in Putrajaya.
