Jakarta, UIN News Online — UIN Jakarta welcomed 200 students and 20 teachers from MA Assalafiyah Luwungragi, Brebes, Central Java, as part of an educational outreach program designed to introduce prospective students to university life, academic programs, admissions pathways, and scholarship opportunities.

The delegation was welcomed by Muhammad Furqon, Head of Student Affairs and Alumni, together with representatives from the University's Information and Public Relations Center and UIN Jakarta Student Ambassadors.
In his opening remarks, Furqon emphasized the University's commitment to providing broader educational opportunities for students from diverse regions of Indonesia. He noted that UIN Jakarta plans to admit approximately 12,000 new students for the 2026 academic year and highlighted the University's affordable tuition scheme and wide range of scholarship programs.

The main information session introduced students to UIN Jakarta's diverse academic offerings—including Islamic studies, science, medicine, engineering, and the social sciences—while providing practical guidance on Indonesia's various university admission pathways and available financial aid.
University representatives also encouraged students to explore programs that align with their interests and career goals, emphasizing that careful preparation and an understanding of different admission routes can significantly improve their chances of university admission.
