Universiti Teknologi MARA

The MARA University of Technology or informally the MARA Technological University is a Malaysian public university based primarily in Shah Alam, Selangor. It was established to help rural Malays in 1956 as the Rural & Industrial Development Authority (RIDA) Training Centre, and opened with around 50 students. It has since grown into the largest institution of higher education in Malaysia as measured by physical infrastructure, faculty and staff, and student enrollment. Since becoming a public university despite its name, UiTM is no longer affiliated with Majlis Amanah Rakyat, although it continues to only accept bumiputera students.
