Jawa Tengah teams with Alibaba while Jawa Timur details PPDB 2026 zonal admission

The Central Java (Jawa Tengah) provincial education office announced a partnership with the province's Digital Communication and Informatics Agency and Alibaba to secure the 2026 Student New Admission System (SPMB). The system will run on cloud servers with auto‑scaling capacity, multi‑zone backups and enhanced data‑protection measures, and a dedicated monitoring team will address any technical issues in real time. A complaint centre and online help desk will assist applicants.

East Java (Jawa Timur) released the schedule, eligibility rules and required documents for its 2026 PPDB zonal (domicile) admission pathway. Registrations for the zonal track run online on 11‑12 June, followed by other priority tracks through late June. Applicants must submit updated family cards, graduation certificates, birth certificates and digital location coordinates, and the process is managed through the official provincial portal.
