Optimizing student selection for SBP Malaysia via fuzzy logic

This study investigates the manual system used by the evaluators for selecting the student for SBP (Sekolah Berasrama Penuh) programmed. Understanding the current selection process is important for finding inefficiencies and opportunities to improve. A qualitative approach was adopted, involving interviews with evaluators and an analysis of the selection criteria and methods applied during the selection process. The findings reveal several limitations in the manual system, including potential biases, inconsistency in evaluations, and time-consuming procedures. The study concludes with recommendations for implementing a more systematic and automated selection process to enhance fairness, accuracy, and efficiency in selecting students for the SBP program. A fuzzy logic system has been proposed to be used as tools for the student’s selection process.
