UNAIR NEWS – Yusfia Anggreini Haq, a student of Political Science Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP) Universitas Airlangga, graduated in March 2015 is now one of the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights (Kemenkumham) staff. Yusfia passed and achieved the second highest in prospective civil servants selection(CPNS) Kemenkumham in Indonesia through cumlaude track in 2017 on Thursday, November 9.

According to Yufia, the cumlaude track is a path specifically aimed at the best graduates with a GPA above 3.4. In addition, they are from accredited A universities. They were ranked nationwide directly without passing grade.

“Without passing grade meaning it is ranked nationwide after they passed the Basic Competence Selection test (SKD) with Computer Assisted Test (CAT) system,” she said.

Yusfia added that the CPNS test must go through three stages. First, the administrative stage. At that stage, the participants are required to complete the required papers.

“In addition, they have to create an account at sscn.bkn.go.id ,” she continued.

The next stage is SKD CAT. There are three types of questions with a total of one hundred questions. Yusfia continued, the question consists of 35 questions of National Insight Test (TWK), 30 General Intelligence Test (TIU), and 35 Personal Personality Test (TKP). Each of them has a passing grade that must be exceeded to pass the next stage.

“However, this passing grade does not apply to the cumlaude track ,” he said.

After passing the ranking system nationwide, there is Field Competence Selection (SKB). For the SKB, there are two types of tests, computer and interview with 50:50 value.

“After waiting for the announcement about a month, Alhamdulillah,” she said.

Yusfia chose immigration analysis as one strategy to get a bigger chance of passing. She has followed the direct progression of BKN’s number of registrants.

“At first, I do not have a picture of what will I do at work. However, after a month of work, it turns out that this job that I get is in accordance with my ability. And, my knowledge I gained during college is applicable, ” she explained.

Before registering for CPNS, Yusfia acknowledged that she wanted to continue her studies abroad. She was admitted to a university in Australia. However, because Yusfia did not get the scholarship she finally decided to postpone her education.

“I hope UNAIR organizes preparatory training or debriefing to prospective graduates. For example, tests on interest that will be suitable for the professional world or debriefing about the world of work on a regular basis, ” she concluded. (*)
