Independent Student Program
About PMM
Independent Student Selection USU (SMM USU) is a new student selection conducted independently by USU. This selection uses a computer-based examination as a valid and reliable measurement tool in selecting and determining the academic abilities of prospective students.
The SMM programs generally are in the form of written exams/tests on SAINTEK and SOSHUM exam materials. USU has greater autonomy in determining the criteria for passing the selection of prospective students in which the criteria for passing the selection are adjusted to the characteristics of the study program. The Independent Student Selection (SMM) is intended to fulfill the capacity of study programs that have yet to be fulfilled through the SNMPTN and SBMPTN pathways, especially some study programs that fewer are interested in.
