Maliki Islamic University -Responding to the urgency of the classic problem related to delays in completing final assignments among students which is still a crucial issue in various universities, the Islamic Religious Education Study Program (PAI) of Maulana Malik Ibrahim (Maliki) State Islamic University (UIN) Malang formulated a breakthrough starting on Monday, (23/2/2026) yesterday.
The study program officially implemented a structured intervention scheme through the launch of the Final Project Acceleration Program. This strategic policy is specifically designed to accommodate and accompany final year students, especially those who have entered the extended study phase or next period this semester.
Head of the PAI UIN Malang Study Program, Dr. Laily Nur Arifa, M.Pd.I., emphasized that this mentoring initiative for senior students carries very targeted institutional governance targets.
"Our main hope for the launch of this final project acceleration program is very clear. This is not just an opportunity to speed up graduation, but rather an effort to organize the academic process so that it is much more high quality, systematic and measurable," he explained.
The effectiveness of the campus mentoring scheme was immediately felt by Chelsya, one of the accelerated program participants who stated that methodology clinics and discussion forums were a solution to the halt in research progress. This systemic approach is considered successful in creating a healthy academic climate and eliminating individual student pressure.
Through the open discussion space, he realized that the confusion in preparing his thesis was also felt by his comrades in arms. This mentoring ecosystem ultimately means students no longer feel like they are struggling alone.
In the future, it is hoped that systemic intervention from the PAI Study Program will be able to become an ideal reference for academic governance in order to reduce the rate of late graduation, while consistently producing graduates who are scientifically mature.
