2.1. Admission requirements (Asterisk Criterion)

Admission procedures of the Bachelor’s Programmes adhere to the regulation of the Indonesian government, which consists of three paths of students’ enrolment conducted nationally and simultaneously, i.e.:

  • SPAN-PTKIN (National Selection of Academic Achievement of State Islamic Religious Universities) is prospective students’ selection based on academic achievement. The prospective students taking this path are not subject to registration fees. Detailed information can be seen at: https://www.um-ptkin.ac.id.
  • UM-PTKIN (State Islamic Religious College Enrolment Exam) is carried out through an electronic selection system using a computer network. The prospective students taking this path are subject to registration fees. Detailed information can be seen at: https://www.span-ptkin.ac.id.
  • Independent Path by Sunan Kalijaga Admission Centre. Detailed information can be seen at: https://admisi.uin-suka.ac.id/. Meanwhile, there are three types of independent path student admission selection, i.e.:
    • Independent-Computer-Based Test (CBT), which is an online-application-based test using the Android operating system.
    • Independent-Student’s achievement, non-test student admission selection, is intended for prospective students with Qur’an memorization of a minimum of 26 Juz, evidenced by certification or through direct verification. In addition, this path is also intended for prospective students who have exceptional achievements in academics, arts, sports, and national religious championships, as evidenced by certification issued by trusted institutions.
    • Independent-Portfolio is prospective student admission selection based on the Computer Based Writing Exam (UTBK) score or the State Islamic Religious College Enrolment Exam (UM-PTKIN) score. This path is intended for prospective overseas students who have passed the equivalent of secondary education and prospective students with special needs.
