On Friday, March 18 three central committees of SBMPTN visited UNAIR. It was aimed to ensure UNAIR preparation for CBT method SBMPTN. The inspection was done to three faculties in UNAIR, Faculty of Nursing (FKp), Faculty of Medicine (FK), and Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB).

“For CBT implementation, as instructed by our rector, we have prepared the computers we have. There are about 350 computers and 60 more for back up. How many used will depend on central decision. Physically, UNAIR is ready to implement CBT SBMPTN,” said Djoko Adi.
Prof Dr. Hasnawi Haris, M.Hum. as the central inspector said that based on the inspection in three faculties of UNAIR, UNAIR is qualified for CBT method SBMPTN.
