A Comparison of Admission Systems - in Predicting Students’ Academic Achievement in State Islamic Higher Education Institutions (PTKIN)

Sep 10, 2026

This study compares the prediction accuracy of admission systems used by State Islamic Higher Education Institutions (PTKIN) in forecasting students’ academic achievement. Samples were drawn from five PTKIN in Indonesia, using GPA data at the end of semester 2 from three admission channels selected in 2015: SPAN-PTKIN, UM-PTKIN, and Mandiri. Descriptive and inferential analyses, including ANOVA with SPSS, show SPAN-PTKIN delivers higher and more effective achievement prediction than the others, while Mandiri yields the most effective registration of prospective students.

Samples were drawn from five PTKIN in Indonesia. To measure students’ academic achievement, GPA data at the end of semester 2 was used. It was taken from student admission channels as selected in 2015, namely SPAN-PTKIN, UM-PTKIN, and Mandiri. Academic data was also taken on the number of prospective students who register after admission through the three channels. Descriptive statistical analysis and inferential statistical analysis techniques were used. ANOVA was applied to examine the differences of academic achievement by students received through the three channels, utilising SPSS. The results proved that the prediction of students’ achievement rates on PTKIN students, received through the SPAN-PTKIN channel, is higher and more effective than those received through the UMPTKIN and Mandiri channels. Further, the Mandiri channel has the most effective registration of prospective students compared to SPANPTKIN and UM-PTKIN. Key words: Prediction accuracy, students’ academic achievement, admission systems of PTKIN, SPAN-PTKIN, UM-PTKIN, and Mandiri channel. Introduction Selection of new students in higher education institutions is a paramount issue which determines the quality of college graduates, affects the learning process at lower levels, and affect the sense of equity regarding the selection system (Asrijanty, 2014: 515–534) . Therefore the manner in which colleges select new students attracts enormous attention. That is so not only for prospective students and parents, but also the community as a whole. Selection of new students for the State Islamic Higher Education Institution (PTKIN) has undergone changes and improvements. Amendments were conducted with the aim of improving the quality and effectiveness of the selection system. In addition, they were adapted to societal developments and demands. Initially the selection system used only 1 (one) channel, but now it has developed into 5 (five) channels, namely SNMPTN (National selection for state university admission), SBMPTN (Joint Entrance Test for State Universities), SPAN-PTKIN (National Academic Achievement Selection of State Islamic Higher Education Institution), entrance admission for the State Islamic Higher Education Institution (UM-PTKIN), and Mandiri Selection. All college students entering the various channels experience the equal learning and treatment process. In the process of teaching and learning, students are accepted through different channels, given the same assessment through the task, project, midterm exam and final exam for each course taught during the semester. It raises the question of whether entrance admission channels taken by prospective students will give a different impact in terms
