Bandung – A plain welcomed the study tour group of MAS Tafhidz Yanbu’ul Qur’an (MASTYQ) arrival at Padjadjaran University (UNPAD). The waterspout and the green plant wall combined by the background of the big building and the mountain enhanced their eyes to keep seeing this awesome university. Either this was made the students or the teachers perpetuated their self in this moment. In east side, appeared the logo of UNPAD made from the assembly of the grass. Yup, this was the first destination in study tour group of MASTYQ 2016.

            They were received by the directorate education of new student registry division, Mr. Sugiarto and Mrs. Irma Nur’aini in the meeting hall inside of the head university office. According to Mrs. Irma speech, she stated that this arrival should be received by the vice of the head university. “Due to business, he put the faith to both of us.” She said in the opening as the master ceremony.

            Before going to the deep discussion, Mrs. Irma pleased Mr. Fanani as MASTYQ’s principal to convey the aim in this visit. He introduced Pondok Tahfidz Yanbu’ul Qur’an Menawan (PTYQM) and MAS Tahfidz Yanbu’ul Qur’an which several of the first graduation could penetrate the state university, such as ITB and ITS. “60% were accepted in the state university via SBMPTN.” He stated. Then he explained the goal they were here. “Mbah Ulin as the founding father of our Islamic boarding school wonders the students to be a Huffadz Technokrat and a Technokrat Huffadz.” He said. In row with Mr. Fanani, Mr. Faiz as the leader of PTYQM strengthened the statement of Mr. Fanani. “We introduced UNPAD to Santri”.

            Hearing a great speech from Mr. Fanani and Mr. Faiz, Mr. Sugiarto replied with the inspiring statement. “An extraordinary generation, memorizing Qur’an. Expected to be like Zahir Na’im.” He said with the full of his amazement and a merry clapping from the audiences.

            Then he explained where UNPAD began. UNPAD was located in the middle of bandung, exactly on Jatinangor. Some people said, it was in Sumedang territorial. UNPAD was built by the reflection of society need. On 1957, first president of Indonesia republic Ir. Soekarno declared this university, which only had 4 faculties in the initial, law, economy, education, and medicine faculty. Now UNPAD evolved to big university that had 16 faculties for science and 15 faculties for social. It also had kinds of program, starting from diploma until doctoral. Accreditation average was A. It was obvious why 38.000 collage local students plus 184 foreign collage students hung their hope here.

           

           

Entry pass to UNPAD

            Mr. Sugiarto explained that his self was always involved in the receiving of new college student via National Selection of State University Entrance (SNMPTN) since 2013. “So, I am the one who knows more the data of new college student.” He said.

            Based on the data last year, UNPAD wrote the highest devotee from all institutes and universities in Indonesia. More than 70.000 students chose UNPAD via SNMPTN only. Whereas, UNPAD only served 3000 chairs for each SNMPTN and SBMPTN pass. Total 6000 chairs were served by UNPAD for new collage students. For about 4.5% were accepted from 70.000 registrants via SNMPTN. Unlikely, UNPAD did not hold the independent pass.

            Mr. Sugiarto reminded them to do not look at the tight percentage. Nevertheless, they ought to look at the quantity of the registrant. A major with high tight percentage was not always difficult to get in. It depended on the registrant summary. Because the variable here was not the quote of the chair.

            The underlined statement here, before sending the data to SNMPTN committee, PDSS should be verified by the school and the student. Why? When the student passed, University would re-verify the data by bringing the original or copy of the report. If not matched, the student would be disqualified.

            In question and answer session, several students proposed their critical questions. From those, could be inferred that UNPAD would consider Tahfidz Qur’an achievement, especially in Islamic economy and Arabic literature major. Beside, Mr. Sugiarto responded that UNPAD had no cooperation with Religion Affair Ministry (Kemenag RI) in PBSB (Scholarship Giving for a Smart Santri) case. And the urgent point was UN (National Exam) score wouldn’t influence SNMPTN, but it would influence for the school index.

            In the last, Either MASTYQ and UNPAD exchange the souvenir that was representated by Mr. Fanani and Mr. Faiz from MASTYQ’s side and Mr. Sugiarto from UNPAD side.
