Abstract

Traditionally, academic ranking of students’ performance is based on test score which can be interpreted in linguistic terms such as ‘very good’, ‘good’, ‘poor’, ‘very poor’ with varying degree of certainty attached to each description. There could be several students in a school having ‘very poor’ performance with varying degree of certainty. The authorities would certainly like to improve students’ academic performance based on their ranking. The case study relates to the combination of Zadeh-Deshpande formalism with Bellman-Zadeh method to arrive at an optimal ranking of especially ‘very poor’ students based on well-defined performance shaping factors.
