UPNVJ PR - Jakarta Veterans National Development University as one of the centers for Computer-Based Writing Exams - Joint Selection for State University Entrance (UTBK-SBMPTN) 2022 which is located on Campus 1 (Jakarta) and Campus II, Limo (Cinere Depok) during the process of implementing wave one running smoothly. This year's UTBK-SBMPTN participants were very diverse and filled with enthusiasm from the participants.

On the last day of the first batch of UTBK-SBMPTN (23/5/22), UPNVJ Public Relations met with one of the participants from Purwakarta, West Java. This participant's name was Muhammad Fikri Ramdhani, from SMKN 1 Purwakarta. In his interview, Fikri told the reason why he chose UPNVJ as the right place for him to take the exam, "The preparations I did for the 2022 UTBK-SBMPTN, if I'm honest, were a bit tight and the information I got in my area was minimal so I was late for UTBK-SBMPTN registration. Moreover, the UTBK-SBMPTN center in my area was full, so I chose UPNVJ to carry out the exam because I saw UPNVJ as one of the very strategic UTBK-SBMPTN centers. And sure enough, when I came earlier, I saw that the health protocol implemented by UPNVJ was still very strict, so it made me feel comfortable taking the exam here,” he said.

Besides Fikri, on the previous day (20/5) we met Muhammad Ihsan Darus from SMAN 65 Jakarta, one of the UTBK-SBMPTN participants who has physical limitations accompanied by his parents after finishing the exam. When we asked him about his preparations to take part in the UTBK - SBMPTN Ihsan said, "My preparations are generally similar with my other friends, other than that, I studied more than usual and the invaluable support given by my parents also really helped me when I was going to take this exam," said Ihsan full of enthusiasm.

"I hope that at the time of the announcement, I will get satisfactory results so that I get admitted to UPN Veterans Jakarta majoring in Communication as my first choice," finished Ihsan hopefully.
