42 State Polytechnics throughout Indonesia have officially opened the admission route for new university students, the National Selection for State Polytechnic Admission (SNMPN) in the 2020 SNMPN Inauguration which was held at the Jakarta State Polytechnic, Depok Jakarta, this morning (06/01/2020).
This selection path is one of the pathways that from year to year the participants are increasing and are in demand by high school, vocational and MA students, both public and private. Although initially this route was known as PMDK-PN (since 2014, ed), this year the Director's Forum for Indonesian State Polytechnics (FDPNI) changed the term to SNMPN. “This year the term PMDK-PN was changed to SNMPN. However, the mechanism and selection process remains the same as PMDK-PN. Registration is also on-line,” explained Dr. Zainal Arief, ST, MT, Head of New Student Admissions for Indonesian Polytechnics at a press conference held at the Jakarta State Polytechnic.
The SNMPN pathway is the Invitation Path selection which is intended for prospective participants/school students who will continue their education at vocational universities or Polytechnics and State Politany throughout Indonesia. This selection pattern is contained in an integrated system and is held simultaneously through the selection of students' academic achievements during their education at Senior High Schools. "Besides academic achievement, other non-academic achievements are also taken into consideration whether the student passes or not," he added.
Registration of prospective participants / students through the SNMPN route is not charged a penny because all costs have been charged to the government budget. This SNMPN pathway also accommodates prospective participants/students who are accepted and come from economically weak families but have high academic achievements as participants in the Bidikmisi Scholarship program. "We want to help the government by providing broad access so that outstanding students can continue their education to a higher level," added Zainal Arief.
Schools only need to register through the website https://snmpn.politeknik.or.id using the username and password given by the committee to each school. Next, the school recommends and enrolls its best students. These students will be given a username and password that can be used to enter data on-line. Registration is open from today until March 6, 2020 and is only for students who graduate this year.
There are hundreds of study programs spread across 42 state polytechnics in Indonesia that students can choose from through this selection. “The opportunity to continue higher education has been wide open. And this should be used as well as possible by the community. Don't just rely on the Academic PTN selection path, the Vocational PTN selection path such as SNMPN can also be considered. In the future, after this selection, Polytechnics throughout Indonesia will still open the admission route through a written exam, namely the 2020 State Polytechnic Entrance Joint Selection (SBMPN)," said Zainal, closing the event.
