As you know, there are two main gateways to compete for a seat in State Universities (PTN). First is SNBP (National Selection Based on Achievement). This pathway focuses primarily on your academic track record through report card grades and supporting achievements.
Second is SNBT (National Selection Based on Test). Unlike SNBP, this is a selection pathway that focuses entirely on the Computer Based Written Test (UTBK). This is where your reasoning, literacy, and mathematical abilities are tested in a standardized and national manner.
And the important news is: The SNBT 2026 Schedule has been officially released! This is a major marker to start devising your best strategy.

Three Strategies for SNBT Preparation
The schedule is in your hands. The question is, what is the next step? If your target is to break into a top tier study program, your preparation must be superior to others.
1. Master the Competency Map, Not Just the Material
The main focus of SNBT remains on the Scholastic Potential Test (TPS), Literacy in Indonesian, Literacy in English, and Mathematical Reasoning. The best preparation is not just memorizing formulas, but focusing on understanding question patterns and mastering the reasoning behind them.
2. Devise a Major Selection Strategy (This is Crucial!)
This is a part that is often overlooked. You are not just choosing a major you like, but also the most strategic one. Look at the competition data and capacity from last year to map out your opportunities.
3. Set a Campus Target That Matches Your Ambition
The SNBT 2026 schedule is the momentum to prove yourself. For those of you who have great ambition to maximize your potential, UNNES is the right ‘home’.
