The UPNVJ public relations team had the opportunity to interview the UPNVJ ICT Coordinator, Sigit Pradana. In his interview, Sigit explained regarding the general tasks and preparations that have been prepared by ICT UPNVJ, "Our general task is to ensure all infrastructure, such as computing platform services, telecommunication services that provide data, voice and video connectivity, data management services that store and manage data and other tasks run smoothly. One of the preparations we made was being active in online training for ICT managers held by the LTMPT central committee long before the implementation of UTBK. So matters related to the implementation of this year's UTBK-SBMPTN will all be in line with the directions of the central committee." Said Sigit

Everything must have obstacles in it, dynamic information from the central committee of LTMPT is one of them, "When there is information specifically related to the Covid 19 Protocol. We have to adjust everything when it's in the field. There are a number of things that have to be changed and adjusted, one of which is a computer whose capacity was originally changed from forty to twenty computers. Another obstacle during preparation, we have to pay attention to the Covid 19 protocol. Moreover, maybe we are not used to the new normal , so when working on network installation and electrical installation, we all have to wear masks which make it hard to breathe/make us tired quickly.” he said

"The difference between the implementation of UTBK this year and last year was that during training and briefings before UTBK everything was done online. Last year there was no Covid protocol and this year there was. Apart from that, the difference was in the exam questions. If in 2019 there are questions about TPS, Science and Social Sciences, for this year only TPS. We hope that all processes from the beginning to the end will run smoothly.” Sigit close
