<![CDATA[Integration of non-formal religious education rules into the formal education selection system often triggers administrative and legal problems in regions. This study aims to analyze the implications of Karawang Regency Regional Regulation Number 7 of 2011 concerning Compulsory Education for Diniyah Takmiliyah Awaliyah (DTA) on the mechanism of New Student Admission (PPDB) at the Junior High School (SMP) level. Using a descriptive-qualitative method through policy document analysis, this study adopts William N. Dunn's Public Policy Analysis Theory to dissect the performance of the regulation from the viewpoint of the affirmative group. The research evaluation focuses on the role of the DTA certificate as a final tie-breaker for identical scores. This rule refers to the Karawang Regent's Decree Number 100.3.3.2/Kep.156-Huk/2025. The results of the analysis indicate that the implementation of the DTA certificate policy in PPDB has met the aspects of effectiveness, equality of rights, responsiveness, and appropriateness. This policy is proven to be effective as a bureaucratic control tool capable of increasing student participation in religious education. Remarkably, this regulation continues to run without damaging the sense of justice for minority student groups or graduates from formal madrasahs. Through this simplification, the public can see that the policy successfully balances the strengthening of religious values and social justice for all prospective students in the region.]]>
