THE APPLICATION OF FUZZY LOGIC IN ADMITTING STUDENTS INTO TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS OF LEARNING

In this paper an attempt has been made to unveil part of the reasons for poor performances in Mathematics, Computer Science and Physics. This is partly due to the aggregate method used in offering admission into these programmes of study. Fuzzy logic approach was used to determine the best programme of study for each student based on the strength of students in their 2010/2011 Post-University Matriculation Examination test results. The mean scores from the aggregate method of admission is 2.38 while that for fuzzy logic approach is 3.35.
