Esaunggul.ac.id, Don’t think that being a PTS means you’re not smart or that it’s hard to get a job. Many PTS have excellent programmes that are even more promising in the world of work than public universities. Want to know tips on choosing the right PTS? Check out how to do it below!
- Campus Rankings
The first tip for choosing the right PTS is to pay attention to the campus ranking. The higher the ranking, the higher the quality. However, many campuses ignore rankings because they are considered unimportant.
You can see the national and international rankings of universities through various institutions, such as Webometrics, 4ICU, and Kemenristekdikti.
- Check the Accreditation of the Campus and the Department You Choose
The second tip for choosing the right PTS is to pay attention to the accreditation of the campus and department. For what reason is it important to check the accreditation of departments and campuses? This may be one way to find out the quality of education in the place you are going to.
It can be said that campus and department accreditation shows the quality of education. Both PTS and study programmes that are well accredited must meet educational standards that cannot be doubted. In other words, the government guarantees the good quality of university education through this accreditation.
To check this accreditation, you don’t have to go all the way to the chosen PTS. You can check it online on the official website of the Higher Education Accreditation Board (BAN-PT). For study programmes related to the health sector, you can also visit the Indonesian Institute for Self-Accreditation of Higher Education in Health (LAM-PTKes).
- Seeking Student and Alumni Recommendations
If you apply the tips on choosing the right PTS, do not hesitate to get reviews of the PTS you are aiming for from its students or alumni for further consideration. Experiences from people who have actually experienced the dynamics of studying at this PTS will be very helpful. This way, you will get a very good understanding of your future campus life.

- Campus Facilities
To support your personal development during your studies, good private universities usually have adequate facilities. Before starting your studies at a private university, check the facilities available, including faculties, study programmes, and campus facilities. For example, it is very important for science students to check the completeness of the laboratory space on campus.
Also, check out the programmes available for students. It is important to remember that going to university is not just about academic achievement. A good PTS should give students the opportunity to learn skills that can be used in the world of work.
- Tuition Fees
Tuition fees at private universities are relatively higher compared to public universities, but they are usually worth it for the facilities, learning methods and excellent programmes on offer. However, not all private universities are expensive, so you should look for the best ones before enrolling.
In addition, some excellent private universities offer scholarships to their students. One of the programmes offered by the Ministry of Education and Culture (MoEC) is the Indonesia Smart College Card (KIP-K). The list of private universities that accept KIP-K can be accessed through the University Profile menu on the official website, kip-kuliah.kemdikbud.go.id.
