Seven attributes with two levels each were used in designing experiments. Multinomial logic is used for determining the model parameters. The attributes which negatively affect the probability of joining the management institute are fees and distance from house and the attributes with positively effect are reputation, placements, international collaboration, faculty strength and infrastructure and facilities.
