“The selection process is carried out in stages. It begins with a selection at the faculty level, then the best participants are re-selected to represent Udayana University. After that, the selected delegates will compete at the national level,” he said.
He explained that this year’s SATRIADATA preliminary rounds were held online. Successful participants will advance to the final round, which will be held offline at a location determined by the Ministry of Education and Science and Technology.
“The preliminary round took place online today. We previously conducted a two-day trial to ensure all participants were ready, both technically and in terms of competition execution. If successful, participants will participate in the final round, which will be held offline at a location determined by the ministry,” he explained.
The 12 students representing Udayana University are the result of a multi-stage selection process at the faculty and university levels, and are expected to demonstrate their best performance in this national competition.
