Accordingly, all high schools are required to complete the original school and student data base (PDSS) before February 8, 2013 for this will determine whether a student is eligible to take the SNPMTN 2013. “PDSS should be filled in correctly. Should there be grades that need to be verified, the students can have the verification until February 8,” said Kuswarno.
Another requirement is that students should already be registered as examination participants. They can choose any program they think suitable with their interest and academic achievement. “You may choose any program that you think would be best for you, in accordance with your own competence,” Kuswarno added.
As for Unpad Nyaah ka Jabar, the program has at least listed 84 student candidates to be admitted in Unpad. They will have to go through local selection. Selection will be based on individual grades.
