Treffer: Implementation of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) Method for Choosing Majors in the Web-Based New Student Admission Information System (PPDB).

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. Method: 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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introducción: la asignación de especialidades en escuelas vocacionales carece a menudo de un proceso de decisión estandarizado y basado en datos. Objetivo: desarrollar un sistema web para la admisión de nuevos estudiantes (PPDB) que integre el Proceso Analítico Jerárquico (AHP) para recomendar especialidades con precisión y transparencia. Método: se utilizó el ciclo de vida de desarrollo de software en cascada. El sistema fue construido con PHP, CodeIgniter y MySQL, empleando la arquitectura MVC. AHP se implementó en el servidor para calcular ponderaciones y razones de consistencia basadas en datos de los estudiantes y criterios de selección. Resultados: el sistema atiende a cuatro tipos de usuario (estudiantes, administración, comité, dirección). Permite registro, carga de documentos, elección de especialidad y recomendaciones automáticas con AHP. La interfaz es adaptable y los datos son rastreables. AHP mejora la objetividad y coherencia en la toma de decisiones. Conclusiones: el sistema moderniza el proceso de admisión escolar al integrar tecnología con métodos de decisión estructurados, promoviendo la equidad, la transparencia y una aplicación escalable.
