The policy regarding the admission of new students has been officially established and regulated in the guidelines issued by the Rector under the Rector's Regulation of State University of Surabaya Number 8 of 2023 [Annex 2401]. This regulation is in line with the provisions outlined in the Regulation of the Minister of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia number 48 of 2022 [Annex 2402]. The Rector's guidelines and the Minister's Regulation serve as the main reference in the process of admitting new students to Diploma and Bachelor's Degree Programs in state universities. Both documents cover various aspects related to the criteria, procedures, and requirements for admission, ensuring that the selection process is conducted in accordance with the standards set by the authorities. These documents provide a strong and clear foundation for all parties involved in the new student admission process, creating a transparent and accountable framework.

The admission of new students at Surabaya State University (UNESA) has three different admission pathways: SNBP (National Selection Based on Achievement), SNBT (National Selection Based on Tests), and SPMB (Independent Student Admission Selection), with various sub-paths within SPMB. New student registration is performed online at: https://admisi.unesa.ac.id/ for national enrollment, while prospective international students are invited to apply for admission through the official website https://ia.unesa.ac.id/. Here are further explanations of these three admission pathways:

1. SNBP (National Selection Based on Achievement)

SNBP is a selection pathway based on the academic and non-academic achievements of prospective students. Prospective participants are required to create an account on SNPMB-BPPP to apply.

h. If selecting two study programs, one of the choices must be in a university within the same province as the participant's school.

i. Students from the Science (IPA), Social Sciences (IPS), and Language departments are free to choose a study program according to their preferences, unrestricted by the scientific disciplines studied in school.

2. SNBT (National Selection Based on Tests):

SNBT is a test-based selection pathway for admission to public universities. Prospective participants also need to create an account on SNPMB-BPPP to apply.

Figure. Stages of SNBT

The registration process can be conducted through snpmb.kemdikbud.go.id. Some key points about SNBT include:

a. Must have an SNPMB Account.

b. High school (SMA/MA/SMK or equivalent) students must possess a Certificate of Enrollment for Grade 12 or participants in the Package C program with a maximum age of 25 years.

c. High school graduates (SMA/MA/SMK or equivalent) must hold a diploma with a maximum age of 25. For high schools graduates from abroad, they must have an equivalency-certified diploma.

d. Participants choosing programs in the fields of Arts and Sports are required to upload a portfolio.

e. Participants with visual impairments must upload a Statement of Visual Impairment.

f. Participants are allowed to take the Computer-Based Written Test (UTBK) only once to apply for SNBT.

UTBK includes tests such as the Scholastic Potential Test (TPS), Literacy in Indonesian and English, and Mathematical Reasoning. The Scholastic Potential Test consists of questions assessing General Reasoning Ability, Knowledge, General Comprehension and Writing, and Quantitative Knowledge. Meanwhile, the Literacy Test (Tes Literasi) comprises Literacy in Indonesian and English, as well as Mathematical Reasoning. The detailed breakdown of the number of questions for UTBK SNBT materials and their respective subtests is as follows:

● General Reasoning Ability : Consists of inductive reasoning, deductive reasoning, and quantitative reasoning, each with ten questions to be answered within a duration of 10 minutes.

o Knowledge and General Comprehension : 20 questions with a duration of 15 minutes.

o Reading Comprehension and Writing: 20 questions with a duration of 25 minutes.

o Quantitative Knowledge: 15 questions with a duration of 20 minutes

● Literacy Test

o Literacy in Indonesian: 30 questions with a duration of 45 minutes.

o Literacy in English: 20 questions with a duration of 30 minutes.

o Mathematical Reasoning: 20 questions with a duration of 30 minutes.

The Scholastic Potential Test assesses thinking and reasoning abilities, including various components such as inductive and deductive reasoning, comprehension, and quantitative skills. On the other hand, the Literacy Test gauges writing and reading abilities, as well as knowledge or skills in specific areas or activities, reflecting the participants' capability to process information and knowledge for practical life skills.

3. SPMB (Independent Selection Pathway):

SPMB is a selection pathway organized independently by universities, including Unesa, for Bachelor's and Applied Bachelor's programs. The Selection of New Students (SPMB) at Surabaya State University (Unesa) has several groups of selection pathways. For further descriptions of SPMB selection process, here is Figure 2.4.1 that describes the whole process.

Admission For International Students

Prospective international students are invited to apply for admission through the official website https://ia.unesa.ac.id/.
