Even though the participants will be declared to have passed the selection, it is possible that not all of them will be able to take part in the 2019/2020 academic year lectures at Undiksha. “The school year here (Timor Leste-ed) is not the same as in Indonesia. The new students graduate in December. So those who can go to college will be those who graduated from high school/vocational school last year.
