UPNVJ Public Relations – The implementation of the health test for 940 prospective new students of the National Development University "Veteran" Jakarta (UPNVJ) through the 2026 National Achievement-Based Selection (SNBP) received a positive response from participants. The activity, which took place at the UPNVJ Merce Building in Limo, Depok, on Monday, April 6, 2026, was deemed to have run orderly and well-directed, supported by clear information and responsive committee service. This health test is a mandatory stage in the advanced selection process to ensure the health readiness of prospective students before entering the world of college.
The health exam includes a drug abuse screening for six types of substances: amphetamine, methamphetamine, cocaine, morphine (an opiate), marijuana, and benzodiazepines. Participants also undergo a color blindness test, a specific requirement for prospective students in the Faculty of Medicine. This stage is designed to ensure all prospective students are in good health and ready to optimally participate in the learning process.
One of the participants, Moqtada Aqila Fatriady, also known as Aqil, a student at Bekasi State High School 2 who was accepted into the UPNVJ Faculty of Law, said the process went well and made things easy for the participants. "The flow was well-organized, the information was clear, and the committee was very helpful, so we didn't feel confused during each stage of the examination," he said.
Another participant, Hasyifa Aurelia Queen, also known as Aurel, echoed this sentiment. She believes the health screening is a crucial part of the new student selection process. She believes this not only ensures health but also reflects the campus's commitment to creating a healthy, drug-free environment. "I think this is important because, in addition to ensuring health, it also demonstrates the campus's commitment to creating a positive, drug-free environment," she said.
The participants also expressed their hope for a smooth academic journey and active contribution to achieving achievements that would bring honor to UPNVJ. This enthusiasm reflects the readiness of the new generation of students to face the competitive and dynamic process of higher education.
Through the implementation of this health test, UPNVJ affirms its commitment to providing a healthy, safe, and conducive educational environment for the entire academic community, while strengthening efforts to produce graduates who are competitive and have character.
