Policies and guidelines owned by universities and study programs have been socialized offline and online, but each has not been optimal. There are still lecturers, students, and staff who have not received complete information regarding policies, curriculum, and guidelines related to the implementation of MBKM. It is recommended to formulate policies at the university and faculty level to disseminate policies, curriculum, and other tools related to MBKM edutechnopreneurship. The implementation of MBKM has a positive impact on additional competencies such as skills in solving complex real problems, improving soft skills, and according to future needs.

Students are very interested and enthusiastic in participating in MBKM activities especially to connect their  competencies with the industrial world.The form of the internship is the most sought after by students.
