Application of Analytic Hierarchy Process in Engineering Education
Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) provides a mathematical technique to formulate a problem as a hierarchical structure and believes in an amalgamation of quantitative and qualitative criteria. It is this uniqueness of AHP that makes it one of the important inclusive systems, considered to make decisions with multiple criteria. This paper focuses on conducting Analytic Hierarchy Process, based on the data collected from several Engineering colleges in the state of Telangana. This paper aims to understand the reasons for removing the staple Engineering streams such as Mechanical engineering, Production engineering, Electronics and Instrumentation engineering and introducing new and contemporary streams such as Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and Internet of Things. The World Economic Forumâs latest âFuture of Jobsâ report highlights the impact of âdouble disruptionâ of Automation, followed by COVID-19. The report indicates that while 85 million jobs will be displaced, 47% of core skills will change by 2025. The topic thus is of immense value since it looks closely at the paradigm shift mentioned above and its further consequences. The result of the present study would be helpful to indicate the exact rankings of the programming and non-programming branches in the engineering field and thus would be instrumental in gauging learnersâ inclination towards studying specific branches. This paper aims to analyze the growing demand of programming branches over traditional, non-programming branches.

To safeguard and sustain food security in India, it is quite important to increase the productivity of rice under limited water resources. To investigate the performance of rice cultivars under the best method of irrigation and system of cultivation in new condition an experiment was conducted to study the "productivity and water use efficiency of rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars under different irrigation regimes and systems of cultivation" on clay loam soils of Indian Institute of Rice Research (IIRR), Rajendranagar, Hyderabad, Telangana during the kharif seasons of 2017 and 2018. The treatment comprised of two irrigation regimes viz., AWD and saturation as main plot treatments, three establishment methods viz., system of rice intensification, drum seeding and TP as subplot treatments and four cultivars namely DRR Dhan 42, DRR Dhan 43, MTU-1010 and NLR-34449 as sub-sub plot treatments summing up to 24 treatment combinations laid out in split-split plot design with three replications. Among the irrigation regimes, AWD irrigation practice recorded higher grain yield (5755, 5952 and 5854 kg ha-1 in 2017, 2018 and pooled means, respectively) than saturation. Among the different systems of cultivation, the SRI recorded significantly higher grain yield (5953, 6129 and 6041 kg ha-1 during 2017, 2018 and in pooled means, respectively) over the TP method. Among the different rice cultivars, DRR Dhan 43 registered remarkably higher grain yield than other cultivars during 2017 and 2018.Not Availabl
