Banjarmasin – The annual tiered competition organized by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology (Kemdiktisaintek), the Outstanding Student Selection (Pilmapres), will be held again in 2026. At the faculty level, this tradition of showcasing student achievements was held by the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) at Lambung Mangkurat University (ULM) on Wednesday and Thursday, February 25–26, in the Utility Building Meeting Room starting at 9:00 a.m. WITA.
A number of students from eight departments within the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) at ULM participated in this competition, including Khairun Nisa from the Department of Special Education, Selvia Dina Norzahidah from the Department of Physics Education, Selbi Amanda and Alvince Stevani Lase from the Department of Chemistry Education, Nailah Arridho from the Department of Guidance and Counseling, Alnis Juwita Sari Gea from the Department of Physics Education, Nadia Irsalina Lahizha and Naila Hanun from the Department of Educational Technology, Hadirat Berkat Zalukhu from the History Education Department, Willy Selpriani Zalukhu from the Geography Education Department, Fauza Syahro Sobrina and Syamila Ghina Tiara Putri from the Biology Education Department.
The judges for this competition were Dian Agus Ruchliyadi, who evaluated the participants’ outstanding achievements in the form of achievement portfolios, Raisa Fadilla, who assessed English language proficiency, and the judging panel consisting of Yogi Prihandoko, Akhmad Riandy Agusta, Novan Alkaf Bahraini Saputra, and Faradina, who evaluated creative ideas in the form of scientific papers based on criteria including the proposed idea, its environmental impact, long-term effects, proposed solutions, and potential obstacles.
Following a selection process, the top three outstanding students were chosen, some of whom will go on to compete in the university-level Pilmapres competition. The three top-performing students of 2025 are Alvince Stevani Lase (Department of Chemistry Education) as 1st Place; Hadirat Berkat Zalukhu (Department of History Education) as 2nd Place; and Willy Selpriani Zalukhu (Department of Geography Education) as 3rd Place.
According to one of the judges, Raisa Fadilla, it is important for the top participants who will later compete at the university level to continue honing their English skills so they can exceed the average score and achieve success at the university level. Meanwhile, another judge, Dian Agus Ruchliyadi, reminded students wishing to participate in the Pilmapres competition to start compiling a portfolio of their achievements from the very beginning of their college studies. “From the very start of their studies, students should build a portfolio of competitions and achievements. This is crucial for enhancing competitiveness in both the professional and academic worlds. A portfolio of achievements is not merely a list of certificates, but proof of a student’s ability, creativity, and resilience,” he said.
Congratulations to the winners. May you continue to achieve great things and inspire others. (Admin)
