Applications Surge for Favourite Schools Ahead of PCMB Closing
The registration for the New Student Mapping (PCMB) for the 2026/2027 academic year for senior high schools in Majalengka Regency is set to close on Monday (8/6/2026). However, applications for favourite schools have already exceeded the available quota.
At SMAN 2 Majalengka (Smandaka), as of Saturday (6/6/2026), the number of PCMB applicants has reached over 800 prospective students, significantly higher than the available quota of 480 seats. The chairman of the SMAN 2 Majalengka admissions committee, Aan Usmairin, stated that the high number of applicants demonstrates significant public confidence in the quality of education provided by the school. “Alhamdulillah, as of today, the number of applicants has reached over 800 people, while the available quota for this academic year is 480 students. This shows very high community enthusiasm to join SMAN 2 Majalengka,” said Aan on Saturday.
He noted that the 480 available seats will be divided into 12 study groups, with each class containing 40 students to maintain the effectiveness of the learning process. The quota distribution for the PCMB stage includes the domicile track (151 students), achievement track (130 students), affirmation track (129 students), parental transfer track (22 students), and buffer domicile track (48 students).
Aan emphasised that the entire PCMB process is conducted transparently, objectively, and in accordance with the technical guidelines established by the West Java Provincial Government. He also urged prospective students and parents to monitor official information from the school and ensure all administrative requirements are met.
Parents of prospective students expressed optimism despite the intense competition. Aah Nursairah, a parent, noted that the school’s reputation for academic and non-academic excellence makes it a top choice. Similarly, another parent, Dedi Supriyadi, expressed hope that all stages of the PCMB would proceed fairly and transparently to ensure equal opportunity for all participants.
