<![CDATA[The Smart Indonesia Card (Kartu Indonesia Pintar—KIP) is a government educational assistance program designed for underprivileged students to complete their education and prevent dropouts. At State Islamic Senior High School 2 (Madrasah Aliyah Negeri—MAN 2) Bengkulu City, the high volume of KIP applicants relative to the limited quota necessitates a rigorous selection process. However, conventional selection processes remain susceptible to human error. This study aimed to implement the VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) method in a Decision Support System to determine student eligibility for KIP at MAN 2 Bengkulu City. The VIKOR method was selected due to its capability to resolve multi-criteria decision problems with conflicting criteria using a compromise ranking approach. The criteria evaluation comprised academic report grades, parental income, number of dependents, and parental status. The system was developed using Visual Basic.Net programming language following the Waterfall software development life cycle model. The implementation and testing results demonstrated that the application automatically executed student rankings according to VIKOR scores. Computation outcomes generated by the application were completely identical to manual calculations, proving that the system can streamline KIP recipient selection, minimize errors, and produce highly accurate administrative reports.]]>
