In recent years, more universities have been allowing hafiz to apply for the program, including top universities like the Bogor Agricultural University (IPB) in Bogor, West Java, and the University of Diponegoro (Undip) in Semarang, Central Java, which the latest QS World University Ranking placed as the country's fourth and eighth best universities respectively. The program can account as high as 11 percent of the seats provided by each university. Atta Halilintar mengaku keinginan tersebut muncul usai dirinya sang istrinya, Aurel Hermansyah menggelar acara bersama anak yatim dan hafiz quran.

Dia berharap agar anakya kelak menjadi seorang hafiz quran. State universities are offering test-free entrance to hafiz (Quran memorizers) through their 'achievement path' programs, in which high-achieving students in academic and arts fields can skip the regular joint entrance tests and university-administered entrance tests. JAKARTA-Atta Halilintar mengungkapkan harapannya untuk sang calon anak. Selamat datang di Channel HAFIZ INDONESIA Talent Search inspiratif yang dibawakan oleh Irfan Hakim ini mencari anak-anak berbakat yang mampu menghafal sebagian atau seluruh Al-Quran. Now some universities are valuing their hard work. Taught to read the Quran when they were children, some have grown up memorizing up to 30 chapters of it.

For some youths in Indonesia, reading is a virtue that goes hand-in-hand with religiosity.
