Selection of Outstanding Students Using AHP and Profile Matching

Abstract

The determination of outstanding students is the giving of awards to those who excel in academic and non-academic fields, aimed at motivating increased achievement. However, this process is often hampered by various criteria that must be considered, such as English language skills, work results, awards, and so on. The solution offered to overcome this problem is the development of a decision support system for selecting outstanding students using the AHP and Profile Matching methods. So, the aim of this research is to develop a decision support system for selecting outstanding students using a combination of the AHP and Profile matching methods, where later the system developed can assist decision makers in determining outstanding students. The results obtained from this research are a decision support system that uses 8 criteria and 26 alternative sample data which shows that "Mahasiswa F" is an outstanding student with a score of 4.09. The results of manual calculations with the system show similarities, which shows that the system developed is in accordance with expectations.
