There were interesting discussions on Bidikmisi program requirements and application methods and also about single tuition fee (UKT). Some of the teachers hoped that the tuition fee will not be raised and even expected it to be reduced.

淭here was our student admitted in a university outside Java through Bidikmisi. He was through SBMPTN, but after the verification he failed to get into Bidikmisi. Finally, the student canceled his plan to study further as he couldn檛 pay UKT at 5 million/semester, said a teacher. (*)
