Reflecting on previous years, she highlighted that UBBG’s PPG graduation rate has been consistently increasing, nearing 90% annually.

Rika emphasized the continuous increase in PPG participants at UBBG. Apart from PPG Daljab, UBBG also manages PPG Prajab, reflecting the trust and appreciation from the Ministry of Education and Culture (Kemendikbudristek).
