Starting in 2023, the Ministry of Education and Culture has officially changed the name of the entrance selection for State Universities from SNMstate university and SBMstate university to SNBP and SNBT.

Well, if you are prospective students or high school friends and equivalent, are still unfamiliar with the name, what are the differences? 

Let’s familiarize ourselves with each term. Let’s read this explanation of SNBP, SNBT, and Independent for 2023. Hopefully, it will be useful for those who wish to study at a state university in 2023. 

What are SNBP, SNBT, and Independent Selection

1. SNBP (National Selection Based on Achievement)

Through this pathway, a grade 12 student is reviewed for achievement based on their report cards for semesters 1 – 5, portfolios, and other academic achievements. Generally, students’ achievements will be recorded by the school and then submitted as outstanding students by the school to be reviewed whether they can follow the SNBP path by the SNPMB state university 2023 team.

2. SNBT (National Selection Based on Test)

SNBT requires students to take a test-based selection first. This selection is based on the results of computer-based Scholastic Test scores.

Seven subtests of material will be tested in the Scholastic Potential Test (TPS), including General Reasoning Ability, Quantitative Ability, General Knowledge and Understanding, Reading Comprehension and Writing Ability, Mathematical Reasoning, Indonesian Literacy, and English Literacy. 

3. Independent Selection

For independent selection, state universities will usually conduct certain tests whose material is broadly similar to SNBT, to determine which students are entitled to enter the state university.

Unlike SNBP and SNBT, the independent selection has different regulations for each state university.

For example, the independent selection of the University of Indonesia (UI), with Diponegoro University (Undip) or Gajah Mada University (UGM), will have different materials.

Differences in SNBP, SNBT, and Independent Selection Capacity

One more factor that distinguishes the three is capacity. The maximum amount of capacity for SNBP selection is 20% for each campus, SNBT at least 40%, and followed by a maximum of 30% for independent selection. If students have participated in SNBT, the SNBT scores can be used in the independent selection process. And for a state university Legal Entity (state university-BH), the SNBT quota is at least 30 percent.

This is confirmed by the official document uploaded by the SNPMB 2023 committee as follows.

Cost and Participants

The most basic difference between SNBT, SNBP, and Independent is the cost. SNBT participants are charged a fee of Rp 200,000, while SNBP fees are free. However, SNBT applicants from underprivileged families can still get free selection fees through the KIP Kuliah Program at https://kip-kuliah.kemdikbud.go.id.

Then some notes for the criteria for prospective participants who may register between SNBT and SNBP are as follows.

SNBP participants are 12th-grade students in high school, vocational school, and, equivalent (2023 graduates), with a maximum age of 25 years, are eligible students (entitled to participate in SNBP) determined from the ranking process by the school. The number of SNBP-eligible students in one school is also determined based on the school’s accreditation.

Meanwhile, SNBT participants can be graduates of 2021, 2022, or 2023, from high school, vocational school, and Paket C, with a maximum age of 25 years.
