A significant number of students accepted through Indonesia’s National Selection Based on Achievement (SNBP) for 2026 are not completing the re-registration process. Approximately 60,000 students who qualified through SNBP have failed to confirm their enrollment. This raises concerns among education officials and sparks debate about the reasons behind the high non-registration rate. Potential factors include students securing acceptance into multiple programs and choosing other options, financial constraints, or a change of plans. The Ministry of Education and Culture is investigating the issue to understand the underlying causes and prevent similar occurrences in the future. This situation impacts university admission quotas and overall higher education planning. Further analysis is needed to determine the full extent of the problem and its implications for access to higher education in Indonesia.
