UTUlsystem considers UTUL score determinateness / minimal score, not only based on rank. If possible tomaintain candidates of new students whose score is appropriate by opening second admission and secondoption. Particularly to students who are from Vocational High School (SMK) or Social Concentration ofSenior High School (SMA IPS) need to be given a matriculation]]>
