Although the final decision was made through voting, the former Minister of Education and Culture of Indonesia from 2009 to 2014 stated that the results obtained are still in line with the consensus for advancing ITS. According to Nuh, every stage of the process in this ITS democracy event has proceeded in accordance with the principles of pilrek, from togetherness, transparency, and accountability, to meritocracy and consensus-building, he explained.
Continuing his explanation, Nuh mentioned that in each process, all rector candidates have shown determination to continue and improve the quality of ITS. He emphasized that the various innovations proposed contribute to achieving financial independence for ITS. “Certainly, all of this ultimately leads to the shared vision of realizing ITS as a cornerstone towards Indonesia Emas 2045 (Golden Indonesia 2045),” he stated firmly.

Looking back, Nuh detailed the series of pilrek stages that began in August 2023. The sequence started with socialization, followed by the phase of gathering aspirations from the 20 applicants for rector candidacy (bacarek), the screening of five bacarek, the screening of three carek, until the final election of the chosen rector. In all these stages, Nuh expressed appreciation for the participation and enthusiasm of the ITS academic community, which he considered a key factor for the success of this term’s ITS pilrek.
