Sikoola SILASA · Recognising student activities
Sikoola SILASA is an app for recognising student activities outside the classroom, such as internships, competitions, community service (KKN), research and entrepreneurship, as credits (SKS). Students submit their activity, a supervising lecturer verifies it, and the hours are converted using the measure set by Permendiktisaintek No. 39 of 2025: 1 credit equals 45 hours per semester.
An achievement that is never converted is just a certificate in a student's folder.

Scroll, and watch hours from internships, competitions and community service travel along the band, then get packed 45 at a time into one credit.
An illustration with sample data.What the regulation asks
Permendiktisaintek 39/2025 uses one measure for every form of learning, and requires universities to support students who learn outside their own program.
“A study load of 1 semester credit unit is equivalent to 45 hours per semester.”
In practice, internship, competition and community service hours can be measured on the same scale as classroom courses.
Permendiktisaintek No. 39 of 2025, Article 15(6)The study load “may be fulfilled outside the study program”, whether in another program, at another university, or at an institution outside higher education.
In practice, the university needs a clear way to assess, approve and record those activities.
Permendiktisaintek No. 39 of 2025, Article 16(4)Universities are “obliged to facilitate” students who complete part of their study load outside their program.
In practice, a decree on paper is not enough. The process has to run, and you have to be able to show it.

If it waits
Without one clear flow, recognition depends on whoever has time to chase the paperwork.
A student completes a three-month internship. The paperwork moves from WhatsApp to a desk, from that desk to another, and then it is gone.
The hours are never converted, so the student still takes a course they already mastered in the field.
The assessors ask how the university recognises learning outside the program. All it has is a decree with no record of it ever being used.
Try it now
One student, one activity. In Sikoola SILASA, the calculation and the approvals run for the whole university.
Activity type
This example uses 1 credit = 45 hours (Article 15(6)). Your university decides which activities count and the credit limits.
Quick guide
The principle is simple. The hard part is keeping every step on record for hundreds of students.
The university decides which kinds of activity can be recognised, such as internships, competitions or research, and the credit limit for each. The regulation leaves this to each university.
The student enters the type of activity, place, dates and hours, then attaches the evidence, such as an assignment letter, certificate or logbook.
The supervising lecturer checks the evidence and logbook, then approves it or asks for changes. The regulation requires learning outside the university to be guided by a lecturer or a supervisor the university appoints.
Divide the approved hours by 45 to get the credits, then record them as an equivalent course on the student's transcript.
In Sikoola SILASA, steps 2 to 4 run in one flow. Every approval is recorded with a name and a time, so it can be audited at any moment.
What's inside
For the people
Know from the start which activities count and for how many credits, so they never repeat a course they already mastered in the field.
Check logbooks and evidence from one screen, with no stacks of folders and no private messages at midnight.
See how many students are active outside the university, where, and how many credits have been recognised, ready to report.
Getting started
All it takes is one message. We prepare the rest.
Enter your institution and your role, and the WhatsApp message opens by itself. Any simulation you ran on this page is attached.
We map which activities the university recognises, their credit limits, and who has the authority to approve.
It lists the apps you need, the order of implementation, the schedule, and a choice of subscription or a one-time licence.
The apps are installed on your campus servers, your users are trained, and our team supports you for a full year.
One ecosystem
The data flows without retyping, and all of it stays on your own campus servers.
Add up the activity hours verified by the supervising lecturer and divide by 45, because Permendiktisaintek No. 39 of 2025 sets 1 credit at 45 hours per semester. For example, an internship of 24 hours a week for 12 weeks is 288 hours, or 6 credits. The university decides which activities count and the credit limits.
The term MBKM became widely known in 2020. The regulation in force today, Permendiktisaintek No. 39 of 2025, still lets students complete part of their study load outside their program and requires universities to support it. Sikoola SILASA follows that current regulation.
The regulation names, among others, internships, student exchange, entrepreneurship, research and community service. A university can add other activities under its own policy, such as competitions, and set that list once in Sikoola SILASA.
For bachelor's and applied bachelor's programs, yes. The regulation excludes medicine, midwifery and nursing from this provision on learning outside the program, so those programs need their own settings.
Yes. Sikoola SILASA runs in the browser, so students and lecturers can submit and verify from a phone or a computer.
On servers or cloud owned by your university, together with the backups. Sikoola does not keep your students' data on our servers.
They have already worked hard in the field. Recognising it takes one tidy flow.
