<![CDATA[The New Student Admission (PPDB) process at SMK NU Tajunggunung is still carried out conventionally, requiring prospective students to come directly to the school to obtain, fill out, and submit physical registration forms, along with required documents such as photocopies of diplomas, family cards, and birth certificates to the organizing committee. This process creates several problems, including a relatively long registration time since documents must be checked and recorded one by one, the risk of losing or damaging accumulated physical documents, difficulties faced by the organizing team in quickly and accurately recapitulating and verifying applicant data, and limited access for prospective students who live far from the school. Based on these issues, this study aims to design and build a website-based PPDB information system at SMK NU Tajunggunung to simplify the online registration process. The system was developed using the waterfall method, covering the stages of requirement analysis, system design, implementation, testing, and maintenance, using the PHP programming language and MySQL database, and was tested using black box testing. The results show that this system makes it easier to register without having to come directly to school, speeds up data verification by the organizing team, and minimizes the risk of input errors and data loss compared to the previous process. The developed system also provides a more structured data management workflow, encompassing everything from form completion and the storage of applicant data to the issuance of registration numbers and the printing of student ID cards. Consequently, the implementation of this web-based information system supports a more organized student admission administration process and offers convenient access for both prospective students and the organizing team.]]>
