The analysis examines the alleged revocation of KJMU (Jakarta Mahasiwa Unggul) card assistance for underprivileged students, addressing concerns that the program’s recipients were mismatched to eligibility. Because funds were reportedly distributed to students able to finance their study needs, the research investigates how governor-level data recording affects continuation of funding. A literature study using journals, books, and reports is applied to evaluate the revocation practice. Findings indicate KJMU should not be revoked for students who have already received support and continue to be financed through graduation, subject to eligibility data.

| | --- | --- | 1. Introduction Ayuningtyas (2021) said, KJMU is defined as a special social assistance fund for the capital city of Jakarta which is given to superior students who are given educational assistance funds by the DKI Jakarta government. This assistance fund is intended to appreciate outstanding and underprivileged students. However, many underprivileged students do not receive KJMU's educational social assistance. This is because the educational assistance funds were received not on target. KJMU is not accepted by underprivileged and high achieving students. In fact, these funds are received by students who are able to finance their education. This is certainly very worrying for students who are supposed to receive KJMU educational social assistance funds. KJP is a social education assistance fund provided by the government to be distributed to elementary and middle school students for students whose parents find it difficult to pay for their education, especially for the capital city of DKI Jakarta (JDIH-Jakarta, 2022b) . Regarding these rights, the DKI Jakarta government saw that the continuity of KJP, which was increasingly helping underprivileged and achieving people, was running well, then the Jakarta government issued provisions for students. Not only for elementary school level but also for university level. KJMU is known as the Jakarta Excellent Student Card which was given to students on June 20 2016. This educational social assistance fund is given to Jakarta students to study at state universities (PTN) . However, this program did not run well, due to the mismatch between the KJMU recipients (Kusumajati, 2019; Ayuningtyas, 2021) . According to BPK Perwakilan Provinsi DKI Jakarta, 2024, KJP recipients exceeded 50%, namely 65% who continued their struggle in pursuing higher education. Of course, something that triggers continuing education for KJP students is the existence of KJMU which is provided to help students who want to continue their education at state universities (PTN) . After analysis, the Jakarta government provided KJMU funds amounting to IDR 9,000,000.00 for underprivileged and hig
