The problem in this study is how to apply data mining with the K-Means method in the application of student majors at SMKN 1 Muaro Jambi. How to design an application program for determining student majors at SMKN 1 Muaro Jambi using the K-Means method. This study uses the K-Means Clustering method to obtain majors that will make it easier for teachers or schools to determine student majors. K-means Clustering non-hierarchical method is a simple and effective algorithm to find groupings in the data in the majors process that is used is grade data and student data in the 2022/2023 entry year. The conclusion of this research is to produce a majors determination system using the K-Means Clustering method according to the majors criteria. Generating student majors from calculations using the K-means Clustering method.
