In 2019, the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education issued the results of the clustering of higher education institutions into two (2) categories, namely the category of Non-Vocational Higher Education (academic education), which consists of Universities, Institutes, and Colleges, and the category of Vocational Higher Education, which consists of Polytechnic and Academy.<\/p>\n
As for the category of vocational colleges, the order of clusters begins in cluster 2. This is done by considering the highest achievement\/score obtained by vocational universities. So for the vocational tertiary education category with a total of 1,128 tertiary institutions, there are 4 (four) Indonesian tertiary institutions with the composition: Cluster 2 consists of 5 universities; Cluster 3 is 62 universities, Cluster 4 is 545 universities, and Cluster 5 is 516 universities.<\/p>\n
The 2019 university ranking focuses on indicators or assessments based on Output \u2013 Outcome Base, namely by looking at input performance with a weight of 40 % which includes Input performance (15%) and Process (25%), as well as output performance with a weight of 60% which includes Output Performance (25% ), and Outcome (35%). The new indicators for the assessment are the number of foreign lecturers (input criteria), online learning, completeness of PDDIKTI reports, financial reports (process criteria), the percentage of graduates who get a job within 6 months, the number of citations per lecturer and the number of patents per lecturer (outcome criteria). The addition of these new indicators is an effort so that universities can actively respond to the times, especially the fourth industrial revolution and the need for manpower.<\/p>\n
