We face varieties of problems and multitude of decisions every day. As a result decision making has become very tough, so that all the requirements can be met in an efficient way. Some of these decisions are relatively small, take a split-second and others are big, take a long time and can have a major influence in the course of our life. So we need a proper decision making way or strategy to stop us becoming prey to a number of common fallacies, biases, and other decision-making errors. Selection of stream or trade or discipline in engineering college is one of such important decisions for a student that claim to be very proper. Hence, in this paper we have proposed a new application of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) based decision making method invented by T Saaty, for Information Technology (IT)-based stream selection during admission in engineering or technical colleges where rank, class XII or equivalent exam marks, science related projects, and coding proficiency are considered as the selection parameters. In this paper we have restricted ourselves in stream selection only. The selection of colleges can be done by using same approach.
