The study aims to examine the perceptions of students from Malaysian Public Universities towards gender stereotype, for it has been experienced not only in the working environment but unfortunately has started in the campus or might be earlier. The primary data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire which was distributed to 665 respondents via an online survey. The respondents were chosen by convenience multistage clustered sampling technique among students in various public institutions of higher education in Malaysia. Many of them are students from UiTM with 30.4% and the lowest are from UMT and UNIMAP with 1.2% each. The quantitative method was applied to analyse the data by using SPSS Version 26.0. The data were descriptively analysed to determine the level of knowledge and compliance with the decision.
