Seleksi Nasional Berdasarkan Tes or SNBT (Test-Based National Selection), is an Indonesian college entrance system for admission of new students in state universities using written examinations nationally, which has various advantages, both for college applicants, public universities, as well as national interests. For college applicants, written exams are very profitable because they are more efficient, cheaper, and flexible due to cross-regional mechanisms.
SNBT is managed by Balai Pengelolaan Pengujian Pendidikan or BPPP (Educational Testing Management Center), an agency under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology.
