Abstract: In this article, we study some concepts related to q-rung orthopair fuzzy soft sets (q-ROFSSs) together with their algebraic structure. We present operations on q-ROFSSs and their specific properties and elaborate them with real-life examples and tabular representations to develop an influx of linguistic variables based on q-rung orthopair fuzzy soft (q-ROFS) information. We present an application of q-ROFSSs to multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) process related to the university choice, accompanied by algorithm and flowchart. We develop q-ROFS TOPSIS method and q-ROFS VIKOR method as extensions of TOPSIS (a technique for ordering preference through the ideal solution) and VIKOR (Vlse Kriterijumska Optimizacija Kompromisno Resenje), respectively. Finally, we tackle a problem of construction utilizing q-ROFS TOPSIS and q-ROFS VIKOR methods.
