Regarding the SKM enrolment path, Unggul continued, the Independent and Partnerships Selection is actually divided into two different paths.

Meanwhile, the partnership path is exclusive for students of partner agencies who are in possession of the memorandum of understanding with ITS. “However, the value of the documents required of prospective participants remain the same between the two programs,” explained this bespectacled man.

Furthermore, Unggul explained that the SKM and IUP registration procedures were the same and can be accessed via the page https://smits.its.ac.id/.
