University Selection by Using Z-TOPSIS Methodology

University selection based on MCDM methods has gained importance in recent years. Scientists have developed different selection methods based on probability theory and fuzzy theory, but these theories can’t describe the reliability of information. This paper’s aim is to choose a suitable university from the set of universities using the Z number theory based TOPSIS method. For this purpose, formulated Z number based multi attribute decision making problem. Evaluation imprecision which is described by Z-number. This study can help to provide some strategies for higher education institutions to increase student enrollment and at the same time improve academic quality and institutional management. All the calculations are performed by using a Z-number software tool-Z-lab. The obtained results show the applicability and validity of the proposed approach.
