The first developed PCM model comprises of factors, connection matrix with numeric contradiction degree between the factors. In this research work a PCM model with linguistic contradiction degree representations between the core and sub factors is developed to make the decision-making more comprehensive. The model formulated in this research work is illustrated with the factors causing academic stress to the students of digital educational system. Personal, Social, Economic and Institutional are considered as the core factors and the contradiction degree in linguistic sense is considered with respect to each of these core factors and ten sub factors. The obtained results on comparing with conventional models are highly promising and this model will certainly set new benchmarks of a comprehensive decision-making model. 2023 126 136 1921 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10.54216/IJNS.210312 https://www.americaspg.com/journal/21/article/1921 https://www.americaspg.com/storage/21688470677.pdf
