Since the role of universities in advancing the field of education is immense, the goal of establishing a university will be achieved only if the university is established by selecting the right place, considering related important criteria. To improve the education system of a country, there is no alternative to a good quality university and at the same time the location of the university is very important so that the students do not have to face any kind of suffering while coming to study in that university. In this study we conduct a survey to the people of different upazila of Thakurgaon district and based on the results of that survey we select the alternatives of this study. This study presented a model with the help of a matrix with different criteria and alternatives to select the optimal location of the University of Thakurgaon. To complete the process, a large amount of existing data was collected and prepared to apply the VIKOR method based on the MCDM (Multi Criteria Decision Making) method to solve the current problem. By solving the model, Ranishankail Upazila selected the optimum location for the Thakurgaon University.
