HumasUPNVJ - The attendance rate of the Test-Based National Selection Computer Based Writing Examination (UTBK-SNBT) at the National Development University "Veteran" Jakarta did not reach 100 percent, both from the first to the fourth day on Thursday (11/5).

On the first day of the UTBK implementation on May 8, 26 participants were absent in the morning session and 28 others in the afternoon session. The total of those who were absent on the first day reached 54. Entering the second day, there were 31 participants who were absent in the morning session and 32 in the afternoon session, bringing the total to 63. Meanwhile on the third day, 17 people were absent in the morning session and 30 in the afternoon session. The total absence on the third day reached 47 people. On the fourth day, 34 people were absent for the morning session and 24 people were absent for the afternoon session.

All of those who were not present were declared failed in the UTBK-SNBT 2023 at UPNVJ.

"Failed because they did not come to the test location. But the number has relatively decreased compared to last year," said UPNVJ Head of UPT Public Relations Windhi Saputra.

The number of participants per session in UTBK-SNBT at UPNVJ is set at 800, bringing the total in one day to 1,600. For the total until day 14, the number reached 22,400. The absence of participants in UTBK-SNBT is something that happens from year to year at UPNVJ. Even so, the figure is relatively small in the range of 3-4 percent every day.

Windhi hopes that participants who have registered for the UTBK-SNBT at UPNVJ will take the exam as much as possible.

"There are lots of people who want to study at PTN. So, for those of you who have registered for UTBK, please don't miss this opportunity," said Windhi.

Meanwhile, Windhi once again reminded participants who will take part in the UTBK-SNBT in the coming days to bring various document requirements. Apart from that, they were also reminded to confirm the location of the exam, whether at UPNVJ Pondok Labu Campus or UPNVJ Limo Campus.

"We keep reminding this, because there are still participants who come to the wrong test location," said Windhi.
