This hall also had ever become the class and the graduation ceremony place of
Ir. Soekarno and Prof. Habibie.
Then he explained the pass to enter ITB. Like it’s
brother, UNPAD, ITB had no independent pass. Every year, ITB received more than
16.000 bachelor candidate from SNMPTN and SBMPTN with the proportion 60% for
SNMPTN and 40% for SBMPTN. ITB applied 10 million for its cost per semester for
all faculties. It could be decreased based on the parent’s income. Beside, ITB
also offered many scholarships for poor college students.
ITB also opened the
new major in several faculties such as Biomedical, Bioenergy and Kemurgi Technique,
Food Technique, etc. It opened more opportunity to the candidate of college
students to study in ITB. Now, ITB had 12 faculties. “It’s easy to enter ITB,
Be Achievement!” Said Mr. Budi.
ITB also expanded its college area to
Jatinangor, near with UNPAD with the width 47 ha. While in the heart of Bandung
city, its width was 30 ha. He told that ITB was research university. That’s why ITB had 202
laboratoriums that could be added more than it.
In question and answer
session, Abyan Dzaka’ which the student who was acquainted by Mr. Fanani just
now caused his interest to continue his study at ITB proposed many questions. One
of it was asking for the probability of ITB to accept Qur’an memorizer (hamilul
Qur’an). “A very great question. I hope so. Attach it to the registration
of SNMPTN, ITB will consider it.” Responded Mr. Budi enthusiastic. Beside,
Abyan also asked about the cooperation between ITB and Ministry of Religion
Affairs (Kemenag RI) in the case of the program of PBSB (Scholarship Giving for
a Smart Santri). Mr. Budi replied that ITB had no cooperation with Kemenag RI
in that program.
In the last
occasion, Mr. Budi said the hope to Abyan so that he could have a meeting with
him on August tomorrow at ITB. “I hope I can meet you again on August tomorrow
