Streamlining Admissions: Management Information System at Siliwangi Institute of Cimahi

In the digital era, IKIP Siliwangi Cimahi seeks to enhance educational service quality by
improving its new student admission process, which has faced issues like limited information, access
difficulties, and data errors. This qualitative case study explores the planning, organization,
implementation, supervision, impact, strengths, weaknesses, and design of a management
information system (SIM) for admissions, using POAC management, SIM, and academic selection
theories. Data were collected via observation, interviews, documentation, and FGD, and analyzed
through triangulation. Results show that the SIM is well-structured, improves information access and
registration efficiency, and is managed and supervised effectively. Benefits include faster, more
transparent admissions, though challenges remain with internet access and occasional technical
issues. This study contributes to the field of educational management by providing an in-depth
analysis of the development and implementation of a well-structured Management Information
System (SIM) for new student admissions at IKIP Siliwangi of Bandung at Cimahi.
