The online PKM presentation sessions were attended by student groups, supervising lecturers, observers, and a judging panel across seven fields: PKM Research (PKM-PE and PKM-SH), PKM Entrepreneurship (PKM-K), PKM Community Service (PKM-M), PKM Technology Application (PKM-T), PKM Scientific Creation (PKM-KC), PKM Written Ideas (PKM-GT), and PKM Futuristic Constructive Ideas (PKM-GFK).


In the 33rd PIMNAS, Chemical Engineering students from Universitas Sumatera Utara won a bronze-equivalent medal in the PKM-K presentation category for their innovative TRANSSION transparent soap made from passion fruit seed oil, a specialty of North Sumatra. The team consisted of Aufa Nurul Khadijah, Intan Rahayu, Viqry Pramananda, Orlando Oloan Hidari Tan, and Muhammad Rafli Derriansyah, supervised by Dr. Ir. Iriany, M.Si.
