During the admission process, UNPAS has opened three phases of registration. The first phase has been opened since January 4th, 2021.
UNPAS Vice Rector I who is also the Head of New Student Admission, Prof. Dr. H. Jaja Suteja, SE., M.Si. CFRM. DBA stated that the online process of New Student Admission is not much different than the onsite one.
“What makes it different is the technical process. Basically, the paper-based test is usually done onsite, but right now it is done online,” cleared the Vice Rector I in UNPAS Campus IV, Jalan Dr. Setiabudhi Bandung, on Thursday (March 4th, 2021).
He also added that the Interest and Skill Tracking process are done by each faculty while the university only provided few regulations. “The Interest and Skill Tracking process are done by the faculty, because they are the ones who know more about the detailed information of minimum skills required by the field of expertise or each study program.”

“Alhamdulillah, these past 8 years, we are still able to maintain the steady number of student admission, 4.000 to 5.000 each year on average,” he explained.
These number of students are determined based on the ratio of facilities and infrastructures, lectures and other academic staffs. Up until now, the number of active students recorded in UNPAS database is more or less 18.989 students and 553 lectures. Therefore, the ratio between the number of students and lecturers is still normal at 1:30
