Furthermore, Hindun also emphasized that the six students who successfully passed this program were accepted into different classes at each university. All students will carry out this NUNI MBKM activity for one full semester.
"The students who have passed will attend lectures according to the schedule at each university. The total duration is one full semester, ”she said.
Before being declared qualified, they must go through a rigorous selection process. The reason is they have to compete with students from various campuses to fight for 5 to 10 student quotas for each course in one university. Egar Aldiyaksa Akbar admitted that the selection process for this program required participants to write an essay on motivation and learning plans if they were accepted into the 2021 NUNI MBKM program.
