2015 SNMPTN General Information

Background

Admission of new students must fulfill the principles of fairness, accountability, transparency and non-discrimination by not distinguishing between gender, religion, ethnicity, race, social position and level of economic ability of prospective students and still paying attention to the potential of prospective students and the specifics of higher education. Universities as education providers after secondary education accept prospective students who have high academic achievements and are predicted to successfully complete their studies at higher education based on academic achievement. Students who have high achievements and consistently demonstrate their achievements deserve the opportunity to become prospective students through SNMPTN.

Within the framework of integrating secondary education with higher education, schools are given a role in the SNMPTN selection process with the assumption that schools as educational units and teachers as educators always uphold honor and honesty as part of the principles of character education. Thus, schools are obliged to fill in the PDSS completely and correctly, as well as encourage and support students in the registration process.
