A Comparative Study on Internship Systems of Asian Universities: Educational Elements in Placement Software From Universitas Komputer Indonesia, Universiti Teknologi MARA of Malaysia, and National University-Manila of Philippines

The emergence of digital technologies has led to the development of various applications, including web-based systems. These systems have been extensively adopted and integrated in diverse ways. In light of this, the National University Academic Internship and Placement Office (NU AIPO) designed the NU AIPO Internship web-based system, which aims to facilitate internship tracking and enable student interns to efficiently manage their internship-related activities. This study aims to perform a comparative analysis between the NU AIPO System and two (2) more similar internship tracking systems: the Web-based internship information system from Universitas Komputer Indonesia, and iMAPS from University Teknologi MARA of Malaysia. In order to obtain data, the study utilized the competitive analysis comparison chart. Analysis revealed that all systems share key features, such as: User Registration, Student Login, Coordinator Login, Announcements, and Requirements and Submission. The Internship Information System of Universitas Komputer Indonesia has integrated a Payment feature. iMAPS from UiTM has demonstrated in their paper an ongoing development of their system. Lastly, NU AIPO System introduced the following features: Calendar, Contact Us, and Career List.
