The day began with registration and mobilization of new students to the venue. Committees, mentors, and assistant mentors ensured the event ran smoothly, safely, and in accordance with the planned agenda.

The Opening Ceremony of PBAK FSH 2026 was solemn yet festive. It began with the presentation of the PBAK mascot, the procession of faculty leaders, and a parade of eight flags representing study programs, the Faculty of Sharia and Law, and the Indonesian national flag. The ceremony was further enlivened by an opening dance performance.

The program continued with the recitation of Qur’anic verses, the singing of Indonesia Raya and the UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta Hymn, followed by speeches from the Chair of the PBAK Committee and the Chair of the Faculty Student Executive Board (DEMA FSH).

The highlight of the opening was the official address by the Dean of FSH, Prof. Dr. Muhammad Maksum, M.A., represented by Vice Dean for Student Affairs and Cooperation, Prof. Dr. Kamarusdiana, M.H. He formally opened PBAK FSH 2026 with a symbolic gong strike, warmly welcomed by the new students as a sign of the beginning of their academic and student life journey at FSH.
