SNPMB-Jakarta: The 2025 state university entrance selection system organized by the National Selection Committee for New Student Admissions (SNPMB) officially opened on Wednesday (11/12/2024). Based on the Regulation of the Minister of Education, Culture, Research and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia Number 48 of 2022 concerning Admission of New Students for Diploma and Undergraduate Programs at State Universities, there are three entry routes, namely the National Selection Path Based on Achievement (SNBP); National Selection Based on Tests (SNBT); and Independent Selection. The SNBP and SNBT routes are fully managed by the SNPMB Committee, while the Independent Selection route is fully managed by State Universities.

This year the SNPMB Committee applies the principles of flexibility, efficiency, transparency, fairness, non-conflict and accountability, which are expected to bring a spirit of justice and transparency during the selection process. A number of innovations were also launched this year, including an additional 5% eligible student quota for schools that use the e-report system on SNBP and the freedom for students to choose up to a maximum of four study programs to support prospective students to explore their potential and interests and choose study program in accordance with their potential and interest in SNBT.

The SNBP route uses an approach to tracking academic achievement through report cards and considering other academic and non-academic achievements. SNBP participants are SMA/SMK/MA/equivalent students in the final class of 2025 who have a record of superior achievement. Each PTN sets a minimum quota of 20% for this route. The selection process begins with filling in student report card data by the school through the School and Student Data Base (PDSS) system.

The SNBP Pathway stage for schools begins with the Announcement of School Quotas on 28 December 2024; The objection period is December 28 2024–January 17 2025. Then School SNPMB Account Registration, ranking of eligible students, and Filling in the PDSS is January 6–31 2025.

The SNBP route stage for students begins with the Student SNPMB Account Registration stage on January 13–February 18 2025. SNBP registration by eligible students on February 4–18 2025. Announcement of SNBP Results is scheduled for March 18 2025 and the SNBP participant card download period is February 4 – April 30 2025. The re-registration schedule for participants who pass the SNBP can be seen on the page of each designated PTN.

In the SNBT pathway, the SNBT pathway stage begins with Student SNPMB Account Registration on January 13–March 27 2025. UTBK and SNBT registration will be carried out on March 11–27 2025. UTBK implementation will be carried out in one wave for 10 days with two sessions per day on 23 –30 April and 2–3 May 2025. Announcement of SNBT Pathway Selection Results is scheduled for 28 May 2025. Then the UTBK Certificate Download Period will be 3 June–31 July 2025.

SNBT pathway participants are required to first register and take the Computer-Based Writing Test (UTBK), which is the basis for the SNBT selection process. Each participant can only take UTBK once, and the results are only valid for SNBT selection and PTN admission in 2025. PTN provides a minimum quota of 40% for this route.
