For the alumni pathway, applications are open exclusively to graduates of UPNVJ’s Bachelor of Nursing Program. Graduates of the Even Semester of the 2025/2026 Academic Year are required to upload their Bachelor’s Degree Graduation Decree (Surat Keputusan Yudisium), while graduates from earlier cohorts must submit scanned color copies of their original degree certificate and academic transcript.
Alumni who graduated in the Odd Semester of the 2023/2024 Academic Year or earlier are required to take the Professional Nursing Basic Competency Test (TKDPN) and participate in an interview. This requirement is intended to ensure applicants possess the necessary academic readiness, motivation, and fundamental competencies before entering the professional education stage.
Meanwhile, the non-alumni pathway is open to Bachelor of Nursing graduates from other universities whose curricula comply with the national standards established by the Indonesian Association of Nursing Education Institutions (AIPNI) and whose graduate learning outcomes are equivalent to those of FIKES UPNVJ.
Applicants through the non-alumni pathway must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00, submit a valid accreditation certificate for their undergraduate nursing program that was effective at the time of graduation, and provide a recommendation letter from a faculty member or university official. All non-alumni applicants must complete the administrative screening, written examination, and interview.
The TKDPN written examination will be conducted online using a computer-based test (CBT) system. Participants will answer 100 vignette- or case-based questions. Each correct answer is worth four points, each incorrect answer results in a one-point deduction, and unanswered questions receive zero points.
The examination covers Medical-Surgical Nursing (20 questions), while Pediatric Nursing, Maternity Nursing, Mental Health Nursing, Emergency and Critical Care Nursing, Community, Family and Gerontological Nursing, Nursing Management, Nursing Ethics and Law, Patient Safety, and Infection Prevention and Control each comprise 10 questions.
In addition to the written examination, applicants will participate in an interview designed to assess their motivation, professionalism, understanding of the nursing profession, empathy, communication skills, commitment to professional ethics, and dedication to patient safety.
Tuition fees for the Professional Nursing Program are set at IDR 10 million per semester for alumni and IDR 12 million per semester for non-alumni students. The application fee is IDR 100,000 for UPNVJ alumni who graduated during the 2024/2025 to 2025/2026 Academic Years.
