pddikti
Also called: pangkalan data pendidikan tinggi
The official site to check the accreditation status and legality of a campus or study program.
What it means
PDDIKTI is a higher education database that records official information about universities, study programs, and students in Indonesia. This data is managed by the government and serves as a reference to check the status of campuses and study programs. Families can use it to ensure the intended campus is truly registered.
Why it matters for families
Before paying registration fees, families should check the existence of the campus and its study program in PDDIKTI. Campuses not recorded risk making diploma recognition difficult when applying for jobs or continuing studies. This mistake can waste money and years of time.
Example
For example, there is an offer for an employee class program with a registration fee of Rp2 million. Before paying, parents search for the campus name and study program in PDDIKTI. If not found, the offer should not be pursued.
Common misunderstanding
Some people think PDDIKTI is a campus ranking site. Its function is more as an official database, not a quality assessment.
