Gamification has become a part of the learning platform for students and educators. Gamification using game principles in a non-game context to enhance the desired response from students. The involvement of students is different based on their level of engagement. However, interest in studying is missing; to encounter this, game-based learning is expected to engage students. This study employs a quantitative method with a questionnaire of 200 respondents. The finding shows that gamification helps improve motivation and shows a significant relationship between gamification and student engagement. Policymakers should make gamification in class a mandatory course to boost student engagement.
