BANDUNG, UNIKOM – Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM) has officially opened its Penerimaan Mahasiswa Baru (PMB), New Student Admissions, for the 2026 Academic Year with various strategic breakthroughs that affirm its position as a leading technology-based university. Unlike previous years, 2026 PMB has now opened earlier, starting on December 1, 2025, to accelerate services and improve the quality of the student selection process.
In an interview, Director of PMB of UNIKOM, Yudistira Soegoto, S.Kom., M.Kom., stated that UNIKOM is in an optimal state of readiness. The entire PMB process is supported by an integrated digital system that operates online, openly, fairly, and accountably. “For 2026, we are targeting to gain 3,000 to 3,500 new students. In terms of systems and services, UNIKOM is 100% ready, and PMB is already ongoing,” he said.
The earlier opening of PMB is a significant difference compared to previous years, which generally began in January or February. In addition to accelerating the timing, UNIKOM has also expanded access by providing various scholarships aimed at attracting potential students from diverse backgrounds.
Not only targeting new graduates in 2026, UNIKOM PMB is also open to graduates from previous years, including professionals who have worked but have not completed their undergraduate education, as well as bachelor’s degree graduates who wish to continue to master’s and doctoral levels. This approach reflects UNIKOM’s commitment to embracing all segments of society without age restrictions or graduation year gaps.
In terms of service innovation, UNIKOM continues to improve its registration system to make it more accessible and user-friendly, including for prospective students with disabilities. The PMB system is equipped with clear usage guidelines and support features for applicants with special needs.
The entire Ujian Saringan Masuk (USM), or Entrance Exam, process is conducted online, from registration and testing to the announcement of results. This flexibility allows prospective UNIKOM students from various regions, especially in West Java, throughout Indonesia, and even abroad, to participate in the selection process without having to come directly to the campus.
As a campus that has achieved excellent accreditation, UNIKOM continues to strengthen its academic competitiveness through a technology-based curriculum. One of UNIKOM’s main strengths is the implementation of compulsory cross-study program courses, including software, hardware, entrepreneurship, animation, and the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) courses that are being prepared for implementation at all levels of education at UNIKOM, from Diploma (D3) to Doctoral (S3) programs.
Yudistira also stated, “We see AI as an unavoidable future necessity. Therefore, UNIKOM is preparing students to face global challenges through mastery of cutting-edge technology.”
Through the 2026 PMB, UNIKOM hopes to attract the best students who are not only academically excellent but also capable of bringing honor to their alma mater at the national and international levels. All PMB strategies are designed inclusively as part of UNIKOM’s long-term vision to strengthen its position as a pioneer in ICT-based higher education in Indonesia. (Directorate of Hms & Pro)
