If the new student candidate has a high score on UTBK, they can choose favorite university or favorite major because they have a big chance to be admitted and can compete with new student candidates in all around Indonesia.

“Favorite major like medical major becomes the first choice of new student candidates in Indonesia. With a better UTBK score, new student candidates can be optimistic and have confidence.

New student candidates must be realistic about choosing their university in case they only get lower scores. "UTBK score is made to be the main requirement of new student admission in order to make a clearer result and the failure rate of new student candidates becomes lower because they can count the compete chance," he said.
