DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN INTEGRATED WEB-BASED ACADEMIC MANAGEMENT AND STUDENT ADMISSION MONITORING SYSTEM USING DJANGO FRAMEWORK

Abstract

Educational institutions require integrated systems to manage academic administration and student admissions efficiently. SMK Insan Terpadu still relied on manual and spreadsheet-based processes, resulting in data redundancy, reporting delays, and limited monitoring capability. This study aims to design and implement an integrated web-based academic management and student admission monitoring system using the Django framework. The research applies a system development approach with the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method, including requirement analysis, system design, construction, and testing. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and literature study. The system was developed using Python Django and MySQL database to integrate academic data management, payment administration, and student admission processes into a single platform. System testing was conducted using black-box testing and user evaluation. The results show that all system functions operated successfully with a 100% functional success rate. User evaluation achieved a satisfaction level of 92.4%, categorized as very good. The implemented system improves efficiency, data accuracy, and reporting processes. This study concludes that the integrated web-based system effectively supports academic and admission management and contributes to the development of digital administrative systems in educational institutions.
