On Tuesday morning, May 17, 2022, LTMPT (Lembaga Tes Masuk Perguruan Tinggi) started the implementation of UTBK (Computer-Based Written Test) simultaneously nationwide throughout Indonesia.
ISI Yogyakarta as one of the state art universities is trusted to be one of the organizers. The Rector of ISI Yogyakarta Prof. Dr. M. Agus Burhan, M.Hum hit the gong as a sign of the start of UTBK implementation at ISI Yogyakarta at 07.15 WIB at the ISI Yogyakarta Rectorate Building. The opening was attended by all levels of ISI Yogyakarta leadership including the Vice Rector I as well as the Chairperson of the ISI Yogyakarta UTBK Center, Vice Rector II, Vice Rector III, Dean of the Faculty of Fine Arts, Dean of the Faculty of Performing Arts, Dean of the Faculty of Recording Media Arts, Director of the Postgraduate Program, Heads of Bureaus, and a number of committees.
A total of 4,711 participants took part in UTBK 2022 at the Institut Seni Indonesia Yogyakarta Campus. In order to maintain health protocols, all participants will be divided into 21 sessions. Each session averages 250 participants divided into 12 computer labs. The entire process of implementing UTBK this year still applies strict health standards and protocols despite the pandemic conditions that have sloped. The implementation of UTBK at ISI Yogyakarta is designed so as not to cause crowds, maintain distance, wash hands before entering the room, and use masks.
In addition to undergoing a body temperature check when entering the UTBK room, participants are also required to show proof of having been fully vaccinated through the care and protection application. For those who have not been fully vaccinated (only 1 time vaccine), participants must show a negative Covid-19 certificate through a rapid antigen test that is valid for 1 x 24 hours. Meanwhile, those who have not vaccinated at all must show a negative Covid-19 certificate through a PCR test that is valid for 3 x 24 hours. All of this is done under the supervision of the committee who has coordinated with the Bantul Regency Covid-19 Task Force.
The implementation of UTBK 2022 is spread across 7 buildings by utilizing 12 computer labs. UTBK 2022 at ISI Yogyakarta, is divided into two stages. Stage one takes place from May 17-23 and stage two from May 28-31, 2022. Participants can choose test material for the Saintek, Soshum category or can choose test material for the Mixed category.
The implementation of UTBK on the first and last day is specifically for test takers who choose the Mixed category which consists of the Scholastic Potential Test, English Language Test, Science and Technology Academic Potential Test and continued with the Soshum Academic Potential Test. The first day of UTBK implementation will start at 07.15 WIB and end at 12.00 WIB.

The morning session will start at 07.15 WIB until 10.30 WIB. While the afternoon session will start at 13.30 WIB and end at 16.45 WIB.
UTBK is part of the selection to enter state universities (PTN) through the SBMPTN (Joint Selection to Enter State Universities) Pathway. Participants who do not pass the SBMPTN can still try their luck to register for PTN through the Independent Pathway.
