Second, he continued, the availability of the Opportunity Check feature can measure how big the chance of tryout participants to enter the desired PTN. “Thirdly, they can also get recommendations from other PTNs according to the chosen majors,” explained Hanani.

Tryout participants who have created a Quipper account can immediately complete the Scholastic Potential Test (TPS) and Academic Competency Test (TKA) tryouts, both for the Science and Technology and Social Humanities (Soshum) categories on the Quipper android application or via a browser.

For participants who got the best score for each tryout category, Quipper gave an appreciation of cash prizes worth a total of IDR 5 million.
