The average mark was increased than the previous year. It was 75. The increasing average, said Syamsul, showed that UMM more selective because the appealing of this university was bigger.

For the ones who passed through invitation system would get free scholarship tuition fee for the first semester, except for Health Science study program (FIKES) would only get off 50% of the semester I tuition. However, this system was not applicable to the Faculty of Medicine.
Syamsul said further, there was no written test in this system but for the interview still be done to determine the quality and motivation of new students.
The way to register was also easy, through online, so it made new students who came from outside of Java easier. So, they did not need to come to Malang.

We can see from the different districts of applicants, which means UMM information has known by many people.” said Syamsul.
