Director General Gogot Suharwoto emphasised that adding quotas outside official guidelines risks loss of funding, diplomas, and other benefits, urging the public to report any suspected irregularities. With approximately 9.4 million students transitioning levels this year across four admission pathways\u2014domisili, afirmasi, prestasi, and mutasi\u2014dominated by the domisili route, these measures aim to ensure fair access to education.",
