Udayana to take on more students

DENPASAR, Bali: State-run University of Udayana will accept
3,191 new students in the new academic year starting in August,
slightly higher than this year's 3,058 intake, according to
Antara on Wednesday.

No explanation was given for the increase in the intake.

I Made Meregawa, the head of the academic department, told the
news agency that Udayana would allocate 591 of the available
seats to above average students, or students with special skills
or talents, including sports, under a special recruitment system
known as the PMDK.

All other students must pass the enrollment tests.

Meregawa said that usually, Udayana's schools of medicine,
technology, economy, law and agriculture were among the most
sought after by school graduates. The schools of Balinese
language, history, ancient Javanese language, the Indonesian
language and archeology have been the least popular subjects.
