eKRS

eKRS, short for electronic Kartu Rencana Studi, is an online system used in Indonesian higher education to plan and register courses for an upcoming semester. The system is designed to replace or supplement traditional paper-based KRS processes by providing a digital interface for students to assemble their study plans and for institutions to manage course enrollment.

Typical functionality includes browsing course offerings, viewing prerequisites and credit hours, checking class schedules, and selecting courses to form a study plan. Once a plan is created, it is submitted for approval by academic advisors or departmental administrators and then finalized in the student information system. Access is usually through the university portal with individual student credentials, and the exact workflow can vary by institution.

eKRS is commonly integrated with a university's academic or student information system and may interface with national education platforms in some regions. It supports policy goals such as transparent course availability, workload balancing, and data-driven scheduling, and it aims to reduce administrative workload and errors associated with manual registration.

Adoption and features vary by institution. Some universities require eKRS usage for all programs, while others limit it to specific faculties or degree tracks. Local requirements for add/drop periods, grading, and course capacity still govern how plans translate into enrollment.

Potential challenges include system downtime, synchronization with prerequisite data and course capacity, and the need for ongoing user training and policy updates.
