This paper presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of an Electronic Student Admission System (EPPMB) at Politeknik Negeri Padang, Indonesia, using the Yii2 PHP framework. The research addresses the challenges of managing multiple admission channels in higher education institutions through a comprehensive web-based solution. Following Design Science Research Methodology, we developed and implemented a multi-layer architecture that integrates various admission processes while maintaining system security and performance. The system handles six distinct admission channels, including Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), Applied Master's Program, and industry partnership programs. Results demonstrate significant improvements in operational efficiency, with a 65% reduction in application processing time and error rates below 0.1%. The system successfully manages 1000+ concurrent users with response times under 500ms, while maintaining a 94% task completion rate and 88% first-time user success rate. Implementation of role-based access control and comprehensive audit trails ensures data security and process integrity. The research contributes to educational technology literature by providing empirical evidence of successful digital transformation in admission processes. The findings suggest that systematic application of modern web technologies, combined with careful attention to user experience and system architecture, can effectively transform complex institutional processes while improving efficiency and stakeholder satisfaction.
