The process of determining student majors at SMK Cahaya Prima is still conducted manually without considering students' academic performance and interests objectively. This can lead to a mismatch between the chosen major and the student’s actual abilities, which may affect learning motivation. This study aims to design a WEB-based decision support system to assist the school in assigning new students to the appropriate major. The system is developed using the Simple Multi Attribute Rating Technique (SMART) method, which processes various criteria such as academic scores and student interests to generate major recommendations. The development follows the Waterfall model, consisting of requirement analysis, system design, implementation, testing, and maintenance stages. This system is expected to improve the accuracy, efficiency, and transparency of the major selection process and help the school align student placement with their potential. Additionally, the system may serve as a reference for other educational institutions in managing student major placement.
