This research is motivated by the importance of academic quality management in increasing the competitiveness of madrasah graduates toward leading higher education institutions. MA Amanatul Ummah Mojokerto was selected as the research site for its consistent record of producing graduates accepted into prominent universities at home and abroad. This study aims to describe the implementation of academic quality management and its contribution to graduate competitiveness. A qualitative case-study approach was employed through in-depth interviews, observation, and document study, with data analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model and validated through source and technique triangulation. The findings show that academic quality management is implemented systematically through planning, organizing, actuating, controlling, and continuous evaluation, encompassing curriculum management, the credit-semester (SKS) and UKBM systems, dauroh programs, try-outs, TOEFL coaching, and PTN-Team mentoring. This implementation proved effective in strengthening academic readiness, the accuracy of study-program selection, and graduates' success in entering leading universities through national and international pathways.
