Selection System

New student admissions meet the principles of credibility, fairness, transparency, flexibility, efficiency, and accountability and are non-discriminatory by considering the potential of prospective students and the specificities of the university. The recruitment system for prospective undergraduate students implemented by ITB is the National Selection for Entrance to State Universities (SNMPTN) and the Joint Selection for Entrance to State Universities (SBMPTN-UTBK) to recruit prospective new students who are considered to have the competence and potential to take part in undergraduate education at ITB. In addition, in order to realize ITB’s Vision to become a World Class University, PS FKK SF ITB also opens student admissions for international classes. The new student recruitment system at SF-ITB for S1 (STF & Clinical and Community Pharmacy) can be seen in Figure 1. The goal is to obtain superior students who meet the academic requirements set by SF-ITB.

SNMPTN is carried out based on the results of tracking academic achievements using report cards and academic portfolios. The report cards used are semesters 1-5 for SMA/SMK/MA with a 3-year study period or semesters one to seven for SMK with a four-year study period. Selection is based on the following principles:

1. Evaluation of the academic quality of prospective students using report card scores, other achievements relevant to the chosen study program
2. Taking into account the track record of the prospective student’s school of origin
3. Using national selection criteria and criteria set by each PTN in a fair, accountable and transparent manner.

SBMPTN is a national university entrance examination system. The purpose of implementing SBMPTN is to select prospective new students who have the academic ability to follow and complete their education at a university according to the specified time limit. The exam materials tested in SBMPTN are the Academic Potential Test (TPA), General Basic Ability Test (TKDU), and Basic Ability Test according to the exam group. Each of the materials tested has been designed to assess the talents, academic potential, and psychology of prospective students. This recruitment system is based on the principle of fairness and non-discrimination by not distinguishing between gender, religion, ethnicity, race, social status, and economic ability of prospective students, and still paying attention to the potential of prospective students and the specifics of the university. Additional admission requirements for prospective students of the ITB School of Pharmacy are not color blind, either total or partial. This must be proven by a certificate from an eye doctor. These additional admission requirements are adjusted to the type of pharmaceutical work that will be closely related to the ability to identify colors. Prospective students can also access https://admission.itb.ac.id for more recent information.

Starting in 2005, ITB has recruited students from abroad with a special selection system. To anticipate foreign students who do not have a background in the same language, they are accommodated in international classes. The presence of foreign students is expected to have a positive impact on increasing the self-confidence of local students, improving the ability of lecturers in the teaching and learning process, and increasing the geographical reach of student and alumni networks. As for international students, they are selected through desk evaluation based on the following criteria:

1. Applicants have a minimum English language competency score: 61 (iBT) or 5.0 (IELTS)
2. SAT Certificate (https://sat.collegeboard.org ) or have taken the ITB academic qualification test (ITB AQ Test)
3. Good high school report card grades
4. Applicants are not color blind

Based on the SBMPTN, SNMPTN and special selection systems, ITB will accept prospective students who have high academic achievements and are predicted to successfully complete their studies at ITB based on academic achievements.
