Hey, future UNNES students! Becoming a doctor is a noble dream that requires extraordinary effort. The Faculty of Medicine (FK) at Universitas Negeri Semarang (UNNES) has quickly become a top destination for students looking to serve in the healthcare field.
However, high interest means intense competition. If you’re aiming for a seat in UNNES Medicine, understanding the admission capacity is your first strategic move before heading into battle.
UNNES Medicine School Capacity in 2026

These figures show that the test-based tracks (SNBT and Mandiri) offer the largest portion of available seats.

How to Boost Your Chances (Focus on the Test Tracks!)
Since the SNBP registration has passed, your fate now rests on your logic and effort. Here is how to secure one of the 40 remaining seats (SNBT & Mandiri):
- Focus on Understanding, Not Memorizing: Medicine in the UTBK-SNBT requires sharp quantitative reasoning and scientific literacy. Practice simulations that challenge your thinking process.
- Aim for a Safe UTBK Score: For a high-demand major like Medicine, aim for an average score above the safe threshold (usually 700+ for top state universities).
- Prepare for the Independent Track (Mandiri): This is your biggest opportunity with 25 seats. Keep a close eye on the SM-UNNES schedule and study the specific question types from previous years.
Nothing is impossible. Stay focused, stay healthy, and prove that you deserve to wear the white coat at Universitas Negeri Semarang!
