"Choose a tertiary institution that is affordable with financing that is in accordance with the parents' income, he concluded.

This socialization was also filled with questions and answers, as asked by Iwan Andreano, “can students who pass SNMPTN  be replaced by other students, if he withdraws himself from registration? Horman immediately responded to this, that other students could not replace their friends who passed the test even though he withdrew.

There was also  who asked about  the availability of available quota. The quota accepted at SNMPTN in 2021 is 40% of the total number of students, namely 58 people majoring in Science and 77 people majoring in Social Sciences and Language.
