This study aims to examine teachers’ performance in UKIN test held by LPTK (Lembaga Pendidik dan Tenaga Kependidikan/Teacherand Academic Staff College) UIN Sunan Gunung Djati. Data was collected using observation and documentation techniques. Data analysis was done using a qualitative descriptive method. The results showed that LPTK UIN Sunan Gunung Djati has provided good facilities to support the implementation of the PPG program. There are eight types of subjects tested in UKIN.
