- Hundreds of thousands of prospective students who were successfully placed are reminded to complete their registration by June 26-29 to secure their spot.

The first phase of the West Java Student Admission System (SPMB) has officially concluded, with the deadline for registration set for June 19, 2026. The West Java Education Agency is now urging hundreds of thousands of prospective students who have been provisionally accepted into their chosen schools to complete the crucial registration process promptly. Failure to do so risks forfeiting their place.
Purwanto, Head of the West Java Education Agency, emphasized the importance of adhering to administrative deadlines. He also reassured students who did not secure a spot in the first phase that opportunities remain available through the upcoming SPMB Phase 2. This second phase is scheduled to run marathon-style from June 30 to July 6, 2026, offering a final chance for students to enroll in public schools.
We appreciate the high enthusiasm of the community in the implementation of SPMB Phase 1. For prospective new students who have not been mapped, there is no need to worry because opportunities are still open through SPMB Phase 2 so that all prospective students still have the opportunity to obtain educational services.
Purwanto acknowledged that the current capacity of public schools in West Java cannot accommodate all junior high school graduates. To address this gap and ensure all students receive an education, the provincial government is actively strengthening strategic collaborations with private schools. This initiative aims to guarantee that every child's right to education is met.
The agency is committed to transparency throughout the admission process. Purwanto stated that all educational institutions are prepared to provide comprehensive and clear information to parents and prospective students, underscoring the system's accountability. The agency's efforts reflect a dedication to managing the influx of students and ensuring equitable access to education across the province.
Our commitment is to oversee this entire process openly. We have prepared every educational unit to provide complete and transparent services and information to parents and prospective students.
