MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641009471 A) filed by R. M. K. Engineering College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Jan. 30, for 'queueing theory based decision support system for institutional performance evaluation and ranking.'
Inventor(s) include Ms P. Sukania.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a decision support system for evaluating and ranking educational institutions using a structured multi-criteria assessment framework. The system integrates a Graph Theory Matrix Approach with the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) to manage complex decision-making scenarios involving numerous qualitative and quantitative criteria. A criterion digraph is constructed to visually represent interrelationships among evaluation parameters, enabling structured analysis of institutional performance. The AHP methodology is employed to determine the relative assurance and weighting of criteria across multiple analytic levels, thereby addressing deviations arising from differing measurement units. A permanent index score is computed using matrix operations to quantify the overall performance of each institution with respect to the selected criteria. The proposed system ensures objective comparison, consistency in evaluation, and transparent ranking of institutions. The invention is particularly useful for academic administrators, policymakers, and accreditation bodies seeking reliable and systematic institutional performance assessment and ranking."
