UNAIR NEWS – As part of its new student admissions process, Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR) has officially announced the selection results for candidates admitted through the National Test-Based Selection (SNBT) pathway. The announcement was made during a press conference held on Wednesday (May 28, 2025).
The event took place in the Amerta Hall at UNAIR’s Management Office on the MERR-C campus, and was attended by UNAIR Rector Prof. Dr. Mohammad Nasih, M.T., Ak., C.A.; Vice Rector for Academic, Student Affairs, and Alumni, Prof. Dr. Bambang Sektiari Lukiswanto, DEA, DVM; and Head of the Student Admissions Center (PPMB), Dr. Achmad Solihin, S.E., M.Si.
During the announcement, Prof. Nasih stated that UNAIR had accepted 3,162 students through the SNBT route, selected from a total of 76,238 applicants. “Congratulations to those who passed the SNBT selection. At this stage, you are still prospective students—not yet fully enrolled—as several steps remain,” he clarified.
Prof. Nasih also provided details regarding the number of KIP-K scholarship recipients. He reported that 531 candidates from the SNBT track qualified for the KIP-K (Indonesia Smart Card for College) scholarship. “Out of 12,376 applicants for KIP-K, approximately 4.29 percent were accepted,” he said.
Average scores by program
The press conference also included information about average admission scores across academic programs. According to Prof. Nasih, the Medicine Undergraduate program posted the highest average score at 755.94. “This information is important for the public, so applicants can make informed choices. For instance, applying to Medicine with an average score of 450 is still far off the mark,” he noted.
Prof. Nasih emphasized that admissions are based strictly on SNBT results. However, each subtest score is weighted according to the requirements of each program. “Each subtest carries a different weight, depending on the program—Medicine will have different criteria compared to Engineering,” he explained.
Updated process
Following the SNBT announcement, Prof. Nasih urged admitted candidates to proceed promptly with enrollment. He stressed the importance of meeting the enrollment deadlines. “I encourage students to make the most of this opportunity. If the enrollment target isn’t met, we will offer the slots to candidates from the independent selection,” said the professor from faculty of Economics and Business.
This year’s enrollment process includes a new requirement: in-person data verification. Prof. Nasih explained that students must now appear on campus for identity verification. “This step is critical to prevent potential issues, including legal risks associated with falsified data. We need accurate and verifiable student records,” he concluded.
