Introduction: Student major placement in vocational schools often lacks a standardized, data-driven decision-making process.
Objective: This study aims to develop a web-based New Student Admission Information System (PPDB) that integrates the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) for accurate and transparent major recommendations.
Methods: A structured waterfall software development life cycle (SDLC) was applied. The system was built using PHP, CodeIgniter, and MySQL, adopting the MVC architectural pattern. AHP was implemented on the server side to calculate priority weights and consistency ratios based on student data and selection criteria.
Results: The system accommodates four user roles (students, admin, committee, principal). It enables real-time registration, document uploads, major selection, and automated recommendation using AHP. Interfaces are responsive, and data flow is traceable. AHP processing improves objectivity and consistency in decision-making, replacing traditional subjective assessments.
Conclusions: This system transforms vocational school admissions by integrating technology and structured decision-making. It supports transparency, fairness, and scalable implementation for broader educational environments.
