Abstract

Although ranking colleges of higher education institutions may seem, prima facie, to be a simple task, it has its own difficulties. The reasons for this difficulty comes from the fact that ranking involves more than one criterion and more than one decision maker. Nowadays the ranking of universities as a vital part of higher education evaluation has drawn considerable attention across the world. In this research different colleges of SCU were ranked by using TOPSIS technique. To begin with we selected 30 indices and weighted them by using AHP technique. On the basis of the indices developed, 10 colleges of SCU were ranked. Results showed that college of Education and Psychology received the first rank with Economics and Social Science college occupying the 10^th
