The Bandung Institute of Technology, abbreviated as ITB) is a state, coeducational research university located in Bandung, Indonesia. Established in 1920, ITB is the oldest technology-oriented university in Indonesia.
The University prides itself on its reputation as one of the country's centers of excellence in science, technology, and art. ITB was considered the top choice among Indonesia's high school students in 2006 and has been credited as the most prestigious University in Indonesia.
Sukarno, the first president of the Republic of Indonesia, earned his engineering degree in civil engineering from ITB.
The university cultivates professional and social activities by supporting its students' unions, the student government councils that exist in every department. Each students' union has its own distinctly designed jacket that, among other traditions, serves as part of its member identity. There are also a number of student activity units/clubs supporting ITB student interests in rounding out their educational experience.
The university is a member of LAOTSE, an international network of leading universities in Europe and Asia exchanging students and senior scholars. The symbol of Institut Teknologi Bandung is Ganesha, a Hindu god representing wisdom.
Admission and Selectivity
Admission to ITB is conducted exclusively through (nationwide) entrance examination. Historically ITB has been the most selective University in the nation. In 2000, the last Asiaweek survey available, ITB ranked first in Asia in student selectivity. In the 2007 and 2008 national entrance examination, ITB has the highest average score as well as the highest passing grade in the nation.
