Jakarta – The curriculum regulations for entering state universities in 2025 will be conducted through two national entry routes: Selection Based on Achievement (SNBP) and Selection Based on Test (SNBT). To be able to register for SNBP or SNBT in 2024, students must study using the national curriculum, namely Kurikulum 2013 (K-13) or Kurikulum Merdeka. This was stated by the Chairman of the National University Entrance Examination 2025 Task Force, Prof. Eduart Wolok, during a press conference on Wednesday, December 11, 2024. Both curriculums, K-13 and Kurikulum Merdeka, are accommodated in the School and Student Database (PDSS). Prof. Eduart acknowledged complaints from SNBP 2024 participants with Kurikulum Merdeka and assured that those issues would not recur as more students adopt that curriculum. He emphasized that there would be no preferential treatment for students based on their chosen curriculum. For Kurikulum Merdeka, a unique coding system would be implemented to ensure equal opportunities. He advised students to carefully consider the study program they choose for SNBP 2025 based on the subjects they have studied in school, as some programs require specific subject prerequisites.
