An Identification of Better Engineering College with Conflicting Criteria using Adaptive TOPSIS

Abstract

Abstract-Students like to find better engineering college for their higher education. It is very challenging to find the better engineering college with conflicting criteria. In this research, the criterion such as academic reputation and achievements, infrastructure, fees structure, location, quality of the faculty, research facilities and other criterion are considered to find the better engineering college. Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) is the most well known branch of decision making under the presence of conflicting criteria. TOPSIS is one of the MCDM technique widely applied to solve the problems which involves many number of criteria. In this research, TOPSIS is Adaptive and applied to find better engineering college. To evaluate the proposed methodology the parameters such as time complexity, space complexity, sensitivity analysis and rank reversal are considered. In this comparative analysis, better results are obtained for Adaptive TOPSIS compared to COPRAS.

The technology of scientific and practical communications: InGraph case study

“…As criteria for evaluating an institution, academic reputation and achievements, infrastructure development, location, professional level of lecturers, availability and level of research base can also be taken into account. Under such conditions, it is important to take into account the inconsistency of some criteria, therefore, as an option for solving this problem, it is proposed to use the TOPSIS method, which is one of the methods of decision-making on several criteria (MCDM) [31]. The issues of rating institutions are also considered in work [32] but, unlike [31], where the validation of the proposed solutions is carried out for engineering colleges, business schools are chosen as objects of research there.…”

Assessment of the Sustainability of a Real Estate Project Using Multi-Criteria Decision Making

“…TOPSIS is another well-known MCDM method of the MADM category, which allows for finding the best solution or alternative while defining the shortest distance from the ideal solution and the farthest distance from the worst or negative ideal solution [88]. Thus, the core process of the TOPSIS method consists of finding the positive ideal solution and negative ideal solution, and consequently, the results and ranking are based on the relative closeness coefficient [89].…”

The method for evaluation of educational environment subjects' performance based on the calculation of volumes of m­simplexes

“…The problem of choice of a college by students was described as a problem of multi-criteria decision making in paper [14]. The adaptive method of decision making based on the ideal point method was proposed to solve this problem.…”
