About this exam

SIMAK UI is the independent admission selection run by Universitas Indonesia (UI) to screen applicants across nearly every level of study. According to the official SIMAK UI site, it covers Vokasi (D3 & D4), Sarjana, Sarjana Kelas Khusus Internasional (S1 KKI), Sarjana RPL (Rekognisi Pembelajaran Lampau), Profesi, S2, Spesialis and S3. This page focuses on the S1 KKI track, the international-class undergraduate route, which appears on the site as its own menu entry with separate daya tampung (capacity) figures for 2026. Candidates should treat SIMAK UI as one brand with several distinct pathways: the registration steps, fees and schedule menus apply across programmes, but the test content and requirements differ by level and by class. The official site publishes programme lists, faculty information, capacity data, fees, schedules and announcements, and it is the only place to confirm anything binding. Preparation means working from the published schedule first, then building subject fluency for the level you are applying to, and practising under timed conditions. Because the site presents SIMAK as one of several entry routes alongside SNBP, SNBT-UTBK, PPKB, Seleksi Jalur Prestasi and others, check that SIMAK is the correct route for your target programme before you register.

What you'll study

Common questions

About SIMAK UI KKI preparation

What exactly is SIMAK UI?

It is Universitas Indonesia's self-run admission selection. The official site describes it as screening candidates for Vokasi (D3 & D4), Sarjana, Sarjana Kelas Khusus Internasional, Sarjana RPL, Profesi, S2, Spesialis and S3. It sits alongside other national and internal routes such as SNBP, SNBT-UTBK and PPKB.

What is S1 KKI and how does it differ from S1 Reguler?

S1 KKI is the Kelas Khusus Internasional undergraduate class. On the official site it is listed as a separate programme entry, with its own daya tampung 2026 figures published separately from S1 Reguler and Vokasi. Treat it as a distinct pathway with its own competition pool rather than a variant of the regular class.

How many questions are on the test and how long does it take?

The source page does not publish a question count or duration. Do not rely on figures from older cycles or third-party summaries. Confirm the current format through the official schedule and announcement pages before you plan your pacing practice.

Where do I find the registration schedule and fees?

The official site has dedicated Biaya and Jadwal sections covering Biaya Pendaftaran, Biaya Pendidikan, and programme timelines. Announcements are posted there too. Always read the announcement for your specific programme and wave, since dates differ between levels and intake periods.

Can I retake SIMAK UI if I do not get in?

The source does not state a retake policy. What it does show is that SIMAK runs in numbered waves for at least some programmes, so additional intake periods exist. Check the schedule page for the wave relevant to your target programme rather than assuming a single annual sitting.

Is SIMAK UI harder than SNBT?

The source gives no difficulty comparison. Practically, SIMAK is a university-run selection with its own papers, and S1 KKI applicants face a smaller, self-selected pool. Judge difficulty by the published sample materials and your own timed practice results, not by reputation.

What should I study first?

Start with the official schedule and the programme page for your target, so you know your deadline and requirements. Then build subject fundamentals for your level, and only after that move to full timed practice. Doing past-paper drills before fundamentals are solid is the most common wasted effort.

What technical setup is needed for the exam?

Recent announcements refer to downloading SEB (Safe Exam Browser) and configuring it for the test, plus a simulation session before the real exam. Read the Panduan Download SEB announcement for your wave and complete the simulation; skipping it is a frequent cause of avoidable technical problems.
