Abstract

The research was conducted to describe perspectives on the challenges of implementing the Indonesian Language Proficiency Test (UKBI) among students, especially at Universitas Merangin. The method used is a systematic literature review consisting of identification, screening, feasibility, quality assessment, and qualitative synthesis. The results of the research show that: 1) Complete and comprehensive information about UKBI has not reached the Universitas Merangin academic community properly, 2) There is no policy for higher education institutions to implement UKBI for students; 3) the Relevance of UKBI results to student needs; 4) The current UKBI is paid, so it doesn’t motivate students to take UKBI.
