UNAIR NEWS – The registration for SNMPTN was officially ended on Tuesday, 7 March 2017. However, it does not stop the effort of Public Relation and Information Center (PIH) Team to promote Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR) in one of the favorite senior high schools in Dewata Island, that is SMAN 1 Denpasar.

In this chance, PIH team shared more detailed information about gaining entrance to UNAIR through the SBMPTN and MANDIRI entrance for Science and Social Science classes. After the material dissemination stage was over, PIH team started a sharing session by having a small talk with a more personal approach to the students in order to listen to their questions and answer them clearly in a more relaxed atmosphere.

It is expected from this small talk that the students will feel more confident to choose Universitas Airlangga. Through this small talk PIH Team also attempted to give the students more knowhow on the useful strategies they could prepare before taking the admission test at Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR).

One of the students named Dedy Mahendra asked about UKT (Single Tuition Fee) at the Faculty of Dental Medicine. PIH Team answered in detail about UKT and tried to convince the students not to worry too much about tuition fee at UNAIR since UNAIR is one of the public universities which offer the most scholarships in Indonesia. As a matter of fact the Rectorate of UNAIR always emphasizes not to make financial difficulties as an obstacle to study at Universitas Airlangga.

Another student named Melinda asked about the chance she might have to gain entrance to the Faculty of Medicine. PIH Team answered the question by presenting competition figures from the previous years and the quota UNAIR had established for this year.

“This small talk is important to give a description of UNAIR to the students,” said the counselor teacher of SMAN 1 Denpasar, Dra. Pande Nyoman Supeni.

She mentioned that there are many students who consult with her, but some of them are not very sure about their choices yet. She hopes the small talk will convince the students to decide their chosen public universities, especially UNAIR, considering that not a few alumni of SMAN 1 Denpasar are now part of civitas academica at Airlangga campus.
