Performance Assessment of Engineering Educational Institutes in Madhya Pradesh using Topsis and GRA

Abstract

This paper uses multi criteria decision making methods to measure the performance assessment in engineering educational institutions in the state of Madhya Pradesh, India. To cater the need of technical manpower, a very large number of private engineering colleges have been established in the state of Madhya Pradesh of central India within a short span. The diminishing quality made so many engineering colleges forced towards closure is a concern in the state today. Therefore, the need for performance assessment and ranking of these engineering institutions is predominant. For the proposed framework, Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to the Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) and Grey Relational Analysis methods are applied for performance assessment of 28 engineering educational institutions taking into account some selected criteria.
