EduAsiaNews, Jakarta — Another remarkable achievement has been recorded by a student of Universitas Pembangunan Nasional “Veteran” Jakarta (UPNVJ). Tosan Aji Rifel Pranata, a student of the UPNVJ Faculty of Medicine, has been selected as one of the participants in Ruangguru Clash of Champions (COC) Season 3, 2026. His participation in this national-level educational competition serves as proof that UPNVJ students are capable of competing alongside peers from some of Indonesia’s most prestigious universities.
Clash of Champions is an educational competition programme that brings together high-achieving university students from across the country to test their academic abilities, strategic thinking, problem-solving agility, and mental resilience under competitive pressure. The competition does not merely assess intellectual capacity — it also challenges participants to make swift, measured, and collaborative decisions.
For Tosan, being selected as a COC Season 3 participant represents a significant milestone in his academic journey and personal development. He expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to learn, connect with outstanding participants from various regions, and put his abilities to the test on a national stage.
“I am deeply grateful and proud to take part in Ruangguru Clash of Champions Season 3. This is a tremendous opportunity to learn, meet exceptional participants from across the country, and further develop my skills. I hope to gain the best knowledge and experiences that I can carry into the future,” said Tosan.
The UPNVJ medical student also expressed his hope that his participation would bring a positive contribution to his university. In his view, competitions such as COC provide a valuable learning environment — one that prioritises not only outcomes, but also the process of cultivating courage, discipline, and critical thinking.
“I hope to uphold the good name of UPNVJ and inspire my fellow students to keep seizing every opportunity that comes their way,” he added.
Tosan’s participation in COC Season 3 also reflects the broader spirit of UPNVJ students in developing their potential beyond the classroom. Alongside his medical studies, Tosan has been actively building his organisational experience and engaging in various self-development activities that strengthen his leadership, communication, and collaborative skills.
UPNVJ continues to encourage its students to participate in competitions, academic forums, talent development programmes, and national as well as international events. Such support forms part of the university’s commitment to producing graduates who are excellent, adaptive, competitive, and imbued with a spirit of national defence.(www.upnvj.ac.id)
