Decision Analysis Approach for Quality in Technical Education

The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) provides a methodology for multi-criteria analysis and decision making. It allows critical examination of the underlying assumptions, consistency of the judgments, and facilitates the incorporation of qualitative and subjective considerations into quantitative factors for decision making. Here an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach is used for the analysis and comparison of the quality of several technical institutes The AHP method uses paired comparison to weight the importance degrees that affect the quality of education/service in a hierarchical structure. A particular formulation is presented and discussed extensively. The present study makes an attempt to enlist various factors that affect Technical Education and further develops a mathematical model to measure its effectiveness.
