The large quota for Independent Exam path certainly provides greater opportunities for prospective students to be accepted at state universities located in Tembalang area of Semarang City.

As an institution with the status of a Legal Entity State University, Undip takes a policy by allocating 50% of the total students it received through Independent Exam path. Meanwhile, half of the other students are selected through National Entrance Selection for State Universities (Seleksi Nasional Masuk Perguruan Tinggi Negeri / SNMPTN), which is 20% and Joint Entrance Selection of State Universities (Seleksi Bersama Masuk Perguruan Tinggi Negeri / SBMPTN) by 30% of total quota. The basis for this policy is Article 6 of Regulation of the Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia Number 6 of 2020.

Undip Vice Rector I, Budi Setiyono, on Thursday (15/4/2021), emphasized that Undip new students admission system through Independent Examination path does not use Computer-Based Exam (Ujian Tulis Berbasis Komputer / UTBK) scores as the basis for acceptance.
