Universitas Gadjah Mada Announces Tuition Fees for 2024 Independent Admission Pathway

Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), one of Indonesia's leading universities, has released details about the tuition fees for its independent admission pathway, known as UM UGM, for the 2024 academic year. The UM UGM consists of several sub-paths, including UM UGM Penelusuran Bibit Unggul (UM UGM PBU) and UM UGM Computer Based Test (CBT).

According to the information provided by UGM, the tuition fees for the independent admission pathway are in the form of Uang Kuliah Tunggal (UKT), which can be either UKT Pendidikan Unggul UGM or UKT Pendidikan Unggul Bersubsidi UGM. The UKT Pendidikan Unggul Bersubsidi UGM offers subsidies of 100%, 75%, 50%, or 25% of the nominal UKT Pendidikan Unggul, depending on the student's family's economic ability. Students from economic groups 1 and 2 as defined by the Ministry of Education and Culture will receive a 100% subsidy and not be charged any tuition fees.

The article provides specific tuition fees for three programs at the Faculty of Medicine at UGM through the independent admission pathway in 2024. UGM's Faculty of Medicine, Public Health, and Nursing (FKKMK) has three undergraduate programs: Nursing, Nutrition, and Medicine.

UGM does not charge an enrollment fee for the independent admission pathway, but there is a one-time 'Excellent Education Solidarity Contribution' (SSPU) for students from higher-income families. The SSPU fee for the independent admission pathway in the fields of science, technology, and health is Rp 30 million for students from higher-income families.

The registration period for UM UGM 2024 is from April 17, 2024, to May 7, 2024. The exam will be a Computer-Based Test (CBT) that combines the UM UGM CBT score and the UTBK SNBT score. The UM UGM is open to high school (SMA/MA/SMK) graduates or Paket C graduates. The registration is done online on the UGM website.

The announcement of tuition fees for UGM's independent admission pathway provides important information for prospective students and their families who are considering applying to the university. As one of Indonesia's top universities, UGM's tuition fees and admission requirements are closely watched by many students across the country.

UGM's independent admission pathway offers an alternative route for students to gain admission to the university, in addition to the regular national admission system. The specific tuition fees and subsidies for different economic groups reflect UGM's efforts to make higher education more accessible to students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds.

The article also mentions that UGM will soon open the selection process for its Penelusuran Bibit Unggul Tidak Mampu (PBUTM) program for the 2024 academic year. This program is designed for prospective students with high academic abilities and achievements in the fields of science, technology, sports, or arts, but who face economic constraints.
