Second, the dependency test of student interest with the perception of the impact of MBKM in terms of 4 (four) components, length of study, improvement of soft skills, fulfilment of needs after graduation, and enhancement of additional competencies. Third, the dependency test of student interest with MBKM readiness in terms of Study Program readiness and student readiness as MBKM participants. The results showed that there was a dependency between student interest and the perception of the impact of MBKM. Meanwhile, the dependency test between student interest and MBKM knowledge and readiness did not show significant results. Even though the MBKM program is perceived as useful, students' interest in participating is still considered low.
