What is SIAP ITB?
SIAP ITB is a five-day intensive academic reinforcement program designed specifically by The Directorate of Preparatory and Common Core Programs of Bandung Institute of Technology. The program addresses a simple question:
| What must a student master before beginning their first semester at ITB? |
The answer: a strong foundation in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry, taught through a university-level approach, not merely exam memorization.
Three things that set SIAP ITB apart from other programs
1 |
Learning from ITB Lecturers, Not from Books Each session is taught directly by ITB lecturers who also teach first-year courses. You do not just learn the subject matter — you learn the way of thinking behind it. |
2 |
Topic-Based Curriculum Aligned with Official PKA ITB The materials are designed based on official PKA ITB topics, not generalised content. Every hour you spend in SIAP ITB is directly relevant to what will be assessed in the PKA. |
3 |
45 Hours Equivalent to 1 Credit Earning For new ITB students who pass the evaluation, this program may be recognised as equivalent to 1 academic credit (1 SKS) through ITB’s official credit recognition mechanism — not merely a certificate. |
CURRICULUM
The 45-hour SIAP ITB curriculum is designed directly based on the official PKA topics of the Directorate of Preparatory and Common Core Programs. Calculus is deliberately excluded to ensure the programme remains relevant for both secondary high school students and new university students.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions
A: No, it is not compulsory — but it is highly recommended, especially for those who wish to start their first semester with a strong academic foundation. Before lectures begin, ITB conducts an Academic Readiness Mapping (PKA) to assess your readiness in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. The results of the PKA determine your academic pathway in the first semester. SIAP ITB is designed to prepare you for the PKA and to help you begin your studies with confidence.
A: All levels — Year 10, Year 11, and Year 12. The curriculum is designed based on the Indonesian Merdeka Curriculum for Years 10–12 of high school, making it relevant for all grade levels. There are no specific prerequisites.
A: Credit recognition / conversion of 1 SKS* applies to new ITB students of the 2026 intake (Segment B) who meet the final score threshold. For high school students (Segment A) who pass, a credit-earning scheme is available — recognition equivalent to 1 SKS that can be converted upon admission to ITB. High school students who pass will receive a Digital Open Badge and an official certificate of participation from the Directorate of Common Preparatory Program. * To obtain academic credit recognition, the final examination must be conducted in person.
A: In-person classes are conducted on the ITB Jatinangor campus with a limited capacity of 500 participants, providing a direct on-campus learning experience and face-to-face interaction with lecturers and fellow participants. Hybrid classes are delivered simultaneously with in-person classes via Zoom Webinar and ITB Edunex, allowing you to participate from anywhere in real time.
A: Yes. The programme is available in two versions: a Regular Class (Indonesian) and an International Class (English). Each is offered in both in-person and hybrid formats. International Class fees: In-person IDR 2,500,000; Hybrid IDR 2,000,000. Regular Class fees: In-person IDR 2,000,000; Hybrid IDR 1,500,000.
A: The materials and topics are exactly the same. Hybrid classes are delivered simultaneously with in-person classes — with the same lecturers and sessions, in real time. The difference lies in the physical experience: in-person classes offer face-to-face interaction on the ITB campus, while hybrid classes provide greater flexibility in terms of location.
A: Registration is open through ITB’s official platform. Early bird (best price): register by 25 June 2026 at the latest. Places for in-person classes are limited, so please register early to secure a spot. Hybrid classes follow the in-person class allocation. Early bird: register by 25 June to receive the best price. Final registration for in-person classes: 30 June 2026. Final registration for hybrid classes: 3 July 2026. A discount of IDR 500,000 is available for early bird registrations.
A: Yes. A limited scholarship scheme is available for eligible new ITB students. Scholarships are awarded to a maximum of 50 recipients (25 in-person and 25 online) per intake, and are intended for students receiving the KIP-Kuliah (KIPK) scheme or those who can provide verifiable proof of financial need acceptable to the committee. Scholarship application requirements: (1) Registered as a new ITB student for 2026; (2) Submit proof of KIPK status or verified documentation of financial need; (3) Apply before the scholarship quota is filled. Information and application forms are available on ITB’s official registration platform.
