Universitas Putra Indonesia YPTK Padang

What Universitas Putra Indonesia YPTK Padang does

Universitas Putra Indonesia YPTK Padang (UPI YPTK) is a private university located in Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia, operating under the Yayasan Perguruan Tinggi Komputer (YPTK) foundation established in 1985 and elevated to university status in 2001 via ministerial decree. It offers higher-education programs from Diploma 3 (D3) through Doctoral (S3) across six faculties: Ilmu Komputer (Computer Science), Ekonomi & Bisnis (Economics & Business), Teknik (Engineering), Psikologi (Psychology), Desain Komunikasi Visual (Visual Communication Design), and Keguruan dan Ilmupendidikan (Teacher Training & Education). Academic operations are supported by an internal campus management information system (SISFO Kampus), an e-learning platform, an e-study portal, and a digital library, alongside traditional face-to-face instruction.

The institution generates revenue primarily through student tuition and a Rp 200,000 (~$13) per-applicant registration/selection examination fee, supplemented by four scholarship pathways (KIP-K government, Prestasi merit, Tahfidz Al-Qur'an, and Lingkungan local-community scholarships) that waive registration and subsidize tuition for qualifying students. Student acquisition runs through dual channels: on-campus One Day Service registration with same-day aptitude and psychometric testing, and the SPMB online portal with virtual-account bank payment integration across BSI, BRI, Bank Nagari, and BTN Syariah. The university is institutionally accredited by BAN-PT (AIPT 2022–2027) and holds LAM INFOKOM 'UNGGUL' accreditation for two informatics programs, alongside multiple other program-level accreditations. Recent strategic activity includes a sports-psychology collaboration with Semen Padang FC, the P2MW 2026 student entrepreneurship program, and cross-regional KKN Tematik community-service deployments in partnership with LLDIKTI Wilayah X and III.
