West Java Provincial Government Extends PCMB Data Entry for Senior High School Admission Until Today

The West Java Provincial Government has again extended the data entry period for the Prospective New Student Mapping (PCMB) until Thursday at 23:59 WIB as an entry route for state senior high schools (SMA) and vocational high schools (SMK) in the province. Head of the West Java Education Agency (Disdik Jabar) Purwanto, in a statement in Bandung on Wednesday, said this measure was taken to ensure that all graduates of junior high schools (SMP), Islamic junior high schools (MTs), and Package B programmes in the province are guaranteed their right to and equitable access to upper secondary education. He revealed that the extension was decided because as of Tuesday (9/6) at 21:00 WIB, the system recorded that there were still pupils who had not completed entering data for their preferred schools. According to the latest schedule, once the PCMB data entry period ends, the process will proceed directly to the announcement of student admissions at their destination schools, which will take place on Saturday (13/6) at 14:00 WIB. Purwanto appealed to parents and pupils who are not accepted at their chosen school during that announcement stage not to panic, as the West Java Education Agency has guaranteed room for students to re-select schools whose intake quotas have not yet been met. Based on the latest regulatory timeline from Disdik Jabar, registration for Stage 1 of the New Student Admission Selection (SPMB) will open from 15 June to 19 June 2026, with the selection results announced on 25 June 2026. Meanwhile, for pupils who still do not secure a school quota in the first stage, the government is opening a final opportunity through Stage 2 of SPMB registration, scheduled to take place from 30 June to 6 July 2026, followed by the final announcement on 10 July 2026.
