The main objective of this paper is to determine how the branding of a private university influences student's choice of selection. For doing this, there are many relationships between branding and consumer decision making processes are mentioned.

Zabed Ahmed, PhD Professor and Chair Department of Information Science and Library Management, University of Dhaka, Dhaka-1000 CERTIFICATE This is to certify that the thesis entitled “A Webometric Analysis of Private university Websites in Bangladesh” submitted by Sajia Sultana, for the degree of Master of Philosophy (MPhil) in the Department of Information Science and Library Management, University of Dhaka, is her original work carried out under my supervision and guidance, and is worthy of examination. Dr. S.M. Zabed Ahmed Supervisor Abstract There have been many research studies conducted on webometrics, especially on the impact of websites and the web impact factor. This current research analyzes the private university websites in Bangladesh according to some common webometrics indicators. It examines and explores 54 private university websites in Bangladesh and identifies the number of web pages and link pages, and calculates their Simple Web Impact Factor, Self-link Web Impact Factor and External link Web Impact Factor. The results indicate that some private universities have relatively high number of web pages, but correspondingly their link pages are low in number and the websites fall behind in their simple, self-link and external link web impact factors. It is also found that the external link web pages provide more than other link pages.
