Our country has one of the largest higher education system in the world, comprising of more than 500 universities situated in different states. Many Indian universities are well named and more popular, so often people get confused to select best one for their better qualification. In this paper efforts were made to provide solution for ranking of higher educational institutions using MCDM techniques though customized software in which different experts gives their weighted values to attributes of ranking software and ranking of different universities are derived based on the different weighted values assigned by different experts namely expert1, expert 2 and expert3 to select best university among the given universities. ranks obtained through experts are compared and found to be satisfactory. The attributes of performance & criterion are always having human decision making element which are sometimes contrary, confusing and ambiguous. To deal this ambiguity of attribute & criterion the approach of AHP, Fuzzy AHP and Fuzzy TOPSIS techniques applied to obtain refined and more realistic rankings.

Keywords- Multi criteria decision making (MCDM),Analytic hierarchy process(AHP),Fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP), Fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (FTOPSIS)
