Applying Fuzzy MADM approach for the selection of technical institution

Selection of a technical institution is a complex task as it involves many tangible and intangible factors, which are difficult to quantify. Moreover, this problem becomes much more important as the whole professional life of the student depends upon this. With the change in higher education policy in 1991, lots of technical universities came into existence in India. With the ever rising number of technical institutions, it becomes important to rank these institutions so that students can choose appropriate institution, according to their capabilities. Although many agencies, provide these ranking but these seems to be biased one. Therefore, an endeavor has been made in this paper to provide mathematical model to rank the technical institutions by using Fuzzy MADM approach. Fuzzy logic helps to quantify the intangible factors and Graph Theoretic and Matrix Approach (GTMA) gives single numerical index based upon which different technical institutions can be compared easily. This will save lot of time and will give confidence to both technical institutions and students.
