Drop Out Rate of ITB
Currently, I read lots of news mentioned that drop out rate in ITB is increasing. This year, around 1200 students fails to finish their education in ITB, compared with around 170 students last year.
Well, I’m not a good student. and I need 5 years to get out of that fucking campus.
I’m not trying to say that studying in ITB is difficult. I need 5 years because I’m too lazy as a students (you can ask my lectures 
BR or Om Wasz for example). With a little bit effort, I think I can finish my study earlier.
So, if the number of drop out rate is increasing by around 7%, I think something wrong with my campus.
Let’s take a look on this graph:
ITB as an education institution has vision, mission, and goal, which are written in this page. The education process is to achieve that kind of vision, mission, and goal. The successful or unsuccessful of ITB depends on how’s the result of the whole process, compare with the vision, mission, and goal.
Yeah, we need some parameter to determine whether ITB is successful or unsuccessful.
One of the goal of ITB is : “To produce quality graduates who have the ability for self-improvement in the global environment, characterized by high moral quality and integrity, intellectuality, emotional maturity, innovativeness and creativity.”.
From that goal, we can extract the parameter for “successful”, which are:
- produce graduates
- the graduates has quality
- the graduates has ability for self inprovement
- the graduates …
(All is mention there )
So, number of graduated students is one of ITB’s short term goal. And if the number of dropout rate is increasing by 7%, I think ITB needs solutions.
PS: I myself congratulate to SBM ITB to graduate 101 of 113 students on time.
(mid of 2004 to early of 2006, I worked in SBM ITB as IT engineer).
I think the man behind this successful is Pak Budi. And I hope this is not short term successful, but can be long term successful.
menurut saya bagaimaan si emahasiswa itu sendiri menyikapi dirinya

I think many problems that arose in itb lately are products of deanship, senate, and MWA members who have the authority in itb’s decision making.
In 2003, when they started opening a new process called USM as a new student selection process has made unproper candidates with high financial ability attended campus, guaranted changes in entire itb students’ culture and life.
In 2005, changed in curriculum and limitation in study period from 7 yrs to 6 yrs has delivered collision in student academic process, organization interest, and student life outside campus. No time to study, many that depressed or lack of socialization, adn then conscius that they are not belong in there.
Well, SBM is out of context, in reality is not part of itb. It’s a product of itb’s incapability to raise profits as a research based university. Or maybe a designed-model of itb’s senior lecturers and decision maker to help others.
