In Malaysia, the fight against COVID-19 is still going strong. The knowledge, attitude, and practises (KAP) of individuals with regard to COVID-19 may be used to evaluate effective behavioural interventions for containing the epidemic. This study intends to evaluate university students' KAP toward the COVID-19. The demographic data and KAP toward the COVID-19 epidemic were disseminated and discussed in the questionnaire's two portions, which were divided into two categories. An online cross-sectional survey comprising 114 undergraduate students, aged 18 to 36, was carried out from October 2020 to December 2020. Participants conducted an online survey after giving their permission to evaluate sociodemographic factors, perceptions, and KAP towards COVID-19. 83.5 percent of the 114 survey participants were female, and 73 percent were diploma and degree students (26.1 percent ). According to the poll, 95% of participants had more frequent behaviours to avoid COVID-19, and 98% had more positive attitudes and information about the disease. Nearly all (97%) participants agreed that the best course of action to take when they saw they were beginning to exhibit COVID-19 symptoms was to visit the hospital as soon as possible. The majority of participants (97.4%) regularly wash their hands with soap and sanitizer. It is essential to raise KAP among pupils during the fast increase phase of a pandemic epidemic like COVID-19. Therefore, it is necessary to create efficient health education programmes that take KAPmodifying variables into account.
