The Faculty of Economics and Business at Universitas Gadjah Mada (FEB UGM) is firmly committed to preventing cheating during the Universitas Gadjah Mada's Computer-Based Test (UM-CBT) 2024. Bayu Sutikno, S.E., M.S.M., Ph.D., Vice Dean of FEB for Academic and Student Affairs, stated that FEB UGM has been trusted to host the UM-CBT 2024, which will be held from June 11-14, 2024, and July 2-4, 2024. To ensure the smooth execution of UM-CBT 2024, they have implemented several unique mechanisms to prevent cheating during the FEB UGM exam.
Following the directions from the central UM-CBT UGM committee, FEB will strictly supervise all exam participants to close any opportunities for cheating. FEB will carry out preventive measures before participants enter the exam room through physical checks and metal detectors.
"According to the Standard Operating Procedures from the Directorate of Education and Teaching at UGM, all participants will undergo checks before entering the exam room, including body checks and metal detector screenings, to ensure they do not use communication aids during the exam," explained Bayu on Wednesday (June 12) at FEB UGM.
Before the exam, all participants will also have their identities verified. Supervisors will screen for completeness of identity and supporting documents such as the exam card, identity card, a photocopy of the diploma legalized with a wet school stamp, and a graduation certificate with identity and photo for 2024 graduates who have yet to receive their diplomas. The exam invigilator will conduct facial verification to match the participants with their identities.
"Upholding integrity is one of the main ethical values of FEB UGM, along with professionalism, objectivity and equality, academic freedom, and social responsibility. Therefore, the culture of integrity is a top priority to ensure no cheating occurs during the exam, in addition to ensuring the comfort of participants supported by health teams and other facilities," he elaborated.
