Munna - you can check salary levels using this salary guide

Try initially to make good and very thoroughly documented applications to employers in Malaysia using professional headhunters or online job websites rather than an agent in India. Trustworthiness is always an issue.

The salaries in your area are probably too low for an Employment Pass (min. RM5k per month basic pay) and you may have to work under a Foreign Worker visa. You can find out about this here

Once you have a job offer a calling visa is issued which you collect from the nearest Malaysian High Commission.

When you get to Malaysia the Employment Pass to be entered into your passport and your tax number is issued etc.

What is important is that the company has permission to hire foreigners and have advertised the job and not got any local Malaysian candidates apply. Apply to large companies only.

Start out by trying online places such as Jobscentral.
