BALIKPAPAN - Kalimantan Development Institute of Technology (ITK) located at Jalan Soekarno-Hatta Km 13 is still constrained land titling. Impact, still ITK 100 students "upbringging" study at the Institute of Technology (ITS) Surabaya can not be returned to ITK. More impact with ITK is not building new student enrollment quota per department reduced by 50 percent.

Known, 100 students ITK is targeted only "upbringging" 1 year in ITS. Projections, this year the construction of two buildings ITK as an early stage has been completed. So that 100 students could take three semesters at Aberdeen.

"But because the land has not been certified, so ITS can not do ITK development there (Balikpapan). We've got an appointment from the East Kalimantan provincial government that land titling issues will be resolved as soon as possible, although not yet know when it will be finished, "said Officer Commitment (PPK) Sulistyono ITK Development, yesterday (16/3).

For his part, claimed to interfere with land titling issues unresolved. For all that has been planned to be changed.

"Like the 100 students who still have to continue upbringging in Balikpapan. Impact, revenue per majors this year we will reduce to 10 people, "he continued.

Known, last year admission open for five departments, namely Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering and Shipping, with each of the 20 new students. For a total of 100 people.

"This year a department will only accept 10 students. It's just the number of department was added into 10 departments like those in ITS. That plus the Department of Metallurgy, Industrial Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, and Physics. So in total remains 100 new students per department reduced its quota but because of the unfinished building ITK, "he continued.

He said he hoped the problem completely resolved soon land titling. So that the ITS as the party that can build quickly implement development. (* / Rsh/tom/k5)

We just wondered how if we're really not getting back to our campus in Balikpapan. At least, 100 students of ITK really don't know what to do, beside they have to keep study in ITS Surabaya cause they have to do that, as their duty to keep giving their best shot to their government who gave them scholarship. Some of them maybe or even us, the students of mechanical engineering of ITK, think about the future of our institute or campus, so yeah still trying to beat our brother institute, ITS Surabaya, in academics or non-academics. So, let's try harder and harder in every seconds of our times or maybe chances. If we can do that, that's the point how far do we success to bring ourselves and ITK in young age to try beating the other old campus or institute. It's not just a dream, it can be real for sure.

We try to ask our government, or maybe ITK's managing committees in Surabaya, but they pushed us around to get back in our normal life. They want us to not thinking about that, cause yeah... whatever happens about our campus, ITS Surabaya still admit us as their students. But, how about our living places? Did we still stay in Student's Dormitory of ITS Surabaya? The answer is... later :)

BALIKPAPAN - Although already allocated Rp 39 billion for the construction of two buildings Kalimantan Institute of Technology (ITK), certain funds can not be absorbed. At least until the land has been certified. Because the number of national issues such as the case Hambalang cause central licensing and ITS hesitate to build before the land certified.

"Truly a land area of ​​70 hectares of the total 300 acres already planned our release. But it was still a dirt seal. So that funds previously targeted for development can not be disbursed. Now the focus to take care of the certificate first, "said the Head of the Regional Development Planning Board (Bappeda) Suryanto.

He explained that, of the total 300 hectares of land, which will be built in only 100 hectares. While the rest will be used as open space.

"While the land acquired will grow 60 hectares of provincial swap results with PLN for power plant Kariangau. The plan also increases further 60 hectares of exchange gulingnya. So the total liberation of the provincial government contributed 120 hectares of land, "he continued.

However, he added, certification of land still would be an obstacle. "Because the land swap results, automatic certification process will also be longer. Unless we succeed in persuading the central budget agency to grant a dispensation and allowed to build. Today we continue to strive, "he added.

Given these problems building ITK will certainly stretch. Impact 100 students ITK deposited in Tenth of November Institute (ITS) Surabaya has not been able to go to Aberdeen. Estimation, the first phase consists of two buildings for classrooms took about a year. Students can study at Kilometer 13 Balikpapan ITK campus after the construction of the two buildings is completed.

As per the plan, ITK will have some faculties such as Industrial Technology, Civil Engineering and Planning, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Mineral Technology, and Agricultural Technology. If all campus buildings awoke later ITK can receive more than 6,000 students each generation. (* / Rsh/tom/k5)
