        "summary": "Universitas Hasanuddin (Unhas) reported that 181 prospective students who passed the 2026 SNBP selection did not complete their registration, a decline from previous years. The university emphasised its commitment to preventing withdrawals due to financial constraints through a fair tuition fee system and consultation support. Nationally, around 60,000 prospective students across all public university admission pathways failed to register, prompting calls for an investigation into the causes.",
        "content": "<p>Universitas Hasanuddin (Unhas) in Makassar, South Sulawesi, has\nreported that 3,489 prospective students who passed the 2026 Seleksi\nNasional Berdasarkan Prestasi (SNBP) have completed their registration.\nHowever, 181 individuals withdrew by not registering.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnhas has made every effort to ensure no prospective student cancels\ntheir registration due to high costs,\u201d said Vice Rector for Academic and\nStudent Affairs, Prof Muhammad Ruslin, on Saturday (27\/6).<\/p>\n<p>The number of non-registrants has decreased compared to the previous\nthree years. In 2023, 221 out of 2,517 successful SNBP applicants did\nnot register (8.78 per cent). In 2024, the figure was 202 out of 2,820\n(7.16 per cent), and in 2025, 202 out of 3,140 (6.43 per cent). This\nyear, the rate fell to 5.19 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have taken various strategic steps, from intensive socialisation\nto support for prospective students,\u201d Ruslin stated. He explained that\nUnhas\u2019s single tuition fee (UKT) system is designed fairly, based on\nfamily economic capacity, and is divided into eight groups. Group 1 is\nset at IDR 500,000 for all study programmes, while Group 8 ranges from\nIDR 4 million to IDR 25 million depending on the programme. Prospective\nstudents can also appeal if they feel the verified UKT does not match\ntheir economic situation.<\/p>\n<p>Unhas Rector Prof Jamaluddin Jompa affirmed the university\u2019s\ncommitment that no student should discontinue their studies solely for\nfinancial reasons. The new student admissions committee also actively\nreminded successful SNBP applicants to complete their registration and\nprovided consultation services for those facing obstacles.<\/p>\n<p>Nationally, the issue of withdrawals extends beyond Unhas. During a\nworking meeting with the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and\nTechnology, House of Representatives Commission X member Sofyan Tan\ncited government data showing that around 60,000 prospective students\nnationwide did not register after being accepted. He questioned whether\nthis was due to students being placed in undesired programmes or\nfinancial inability, particularly the lack of KIP Kuliah funding, and\ncalled for a survey to investigate the matter.<\/p>\n<p>Responding to the national figure, SNPMB Chairman Prof Eduart Wolok\nclarified that the 60,000 figure represents the total unfilled quota\nacross all public university admission pathways, not just SNBP. He noted\nthat reasons for non-registration include financial constraints and\nstudents holding out for their preferred study programme in subsequent\nadmission rounds. Wolok stressed that UKT is determined objectively\nbased on student profiling and that universities provide opportunities\nfor students to request fee reductions if they face genuine\nhardship.<\/p>",
