As they have to spend the whole life with such partners, the decision of making choice of the bride and groom is the major concern for the persons and their guardians. The Matchmaking business is flourishing as the closeness and knowing each other of the citizen in megacities are becoming impossible.

The research is done on the students of private and public universities and their guardians by random sampling method. Data were collected by bounded and unbounded questions of a pre-planned questionnaire-that was distributed among 350 students but the reply is less than 310.
