Short Explanation

This project helped junior high school students in South Sumatera register for senior high school. It handled over 20,000 users during peak registration periods.

Project Goals

The objective is to provide information about PPDB (new student registration) for high schools in South Sumatera. The website handles registration, generates proof of registration, announces acceptance results, prints test card numbers, and displays grades. It also uses geolocation to calculate distance from a student's house to the school.
