This article presents the results of connecting an educational data mining techniques to the academic performance of students. Three classification models (Decision Tree, Random Forest and Deep Learning) have been developed to analyze data sets and predict the performance of students. The projected submission of the three classificatory was calculated and matched. The academic history and data of the students from the Office of the Registrar were used to train the models. Our analysis aims to evaluate the results of students using various variables such as the student's grade. Data from (221) students with (9) different attributes were used. The results of this study are very important, provide a better understanding of student success assessments and stress the importance of data mining in education. The main purpose of this study is to show the student successful forecast using data mining techniques to improve academic programs. The results of this research indicate that the Decision Tree classifier overtakes two other classifiers by achieving a total prediction accuracy of 97%.

Data mining is the trending field used to get relevant knowledge from the database given. This technique consists of subfield called educational data mining is the emerging area used to extract the hidden patterns from the huge data with the help of tools techniques developed by the researchers of the educational data mining. The purpose of extracting patterns from the educational database is to improve the quality of education can be provided to the students for their better feature. The patterns are extracted by using the existing data mining techniques to enhance student performance. Educational data mining techniques such as classification, regression, clustering are available in the field. Classification is defined as the technique used to categorize the data based on the given label and constraints. In this paper, the algorithms like naves Bayes, Random Forest and J48 algorithms used to classify the data instances under the given labels using the constraints given., the classification algorithms like naves Bayes shows best performance accuracy with the given student dataset. Clustering and apriori rule have a strong relationship in student performance. In this paper, predictive data mining used to predict the student's performance to enhance the study level of the students in the organization.


Educational organizations are unique and play the utmost significant role in the development of any country. In the Educational database, due to the enormous volume of data for predicting student's achievement becomes more complicated. To upgrade a student's performance and triumph is more efficient in a practical way using Educational Data Mining Techniques. Data Mining Techniques could deliver favor and brunt to educators and academic institutions. The student's data ((i.e.) Name,10th %,12th cut off, CGPA, No of arrears, etc.) are gathered. Then, the datasets are imported into the Anaconda Navigator. Then, analysis and classification based on attributes of the students and the schemes are performed. Then using the prediction algorithm Naïve Bayes what are all the features the particular student is eligible for are predicted as placed. The student's input that has disparate data about their past and present academics report and then apply the Naïve Bayes algorithm using Anaconda Navigator to search the student's achievement for placement. A proposed methodology based on a classification approach to finding an improved estimation method for predicting the placement for students. This project can find the association for academic achievement of each particular student and their placement achievement in campus selection.

Educational Data Mining (EDM) is a platform for learning and exploring from data to get essential information and generate the unique pattern which will help study, analyse and skill student performance in academic. Various data mining methods can be apply to filter the data from data warehouse to implement data mining techniques which helps student for taking decisions for better outcome. The model which can be use in Educational data mining must be a constructive and descriptive model applied on data warehouse and must gather very accurate data for enhance the performance of study. Regression analysis can also be used to develop a model to use as study tool; it can be used dependent or independent variables. If the model is enough perfect for using as study tool then every cluster of data must be use that model to fetch the resultant data. Sometimes educational data mining is considered as overall performance of students, but each student has its own level of understanding the contents so that method must also be enough flexible for every one ; for fulfilling this requirement educational method can be complex, but once it is constructed then it will helpful for every one. This paper is describing various data mining techniques and their proper uses.

Student performance prediction is extremely important in today’s educational system. Predicting student achievement in advance can assist students and teachers in keeping track of the student’s progress. Today, several institutes have implemented a manual ongoing evaluation method. Students benefit from such methods since they help them improve their performance. In this study, we can use educational data mining (EDM), which we recommend as an ensemble classifier to anticipate the understudy accomplishment forecast model based on data mining techniques as classification techniques. This model uses distinct datasets which represent the student’s intercommunication with the instructive model. The exhibition of an understudy’s prescient model is evaluated by a kind of classifiers, for instance, logistic regression, naïve Bayes tree, artificial neural network, support vector system, decision tree, random forest, and k -nearest neighbor. Additionally, we used set processes to evolve the presentation of these classifiers. We utilized Boosting, Random Forest, Bagging, and Voting Algorithms, which are the normal group of techniques used in studies. By using ensemble methods, we will have a good result that demonstrates the dependability of the proposed model. For better productivity, the various classifiers are gathered and, afterward, added to the ensemble method using the Vote procedure. The implementation results demonstrate that the bagging method accomplished a cleared enhancement with the DT model, where the DT algorithm accuracy with bagging increased from 90.4% to 91.4%. Recall results improved from 0.904 to 0.914. Precision results also increased from 0.905 to 0.915.


Student Performance Management is one of the key pillars of the higher education institutions since it directly impacts the student’s career prospects and college rankings. This paper follows the path of learning analytics and educational data mining by applying machine learning techniques in student data for identifying students who are at the more likely to fail in the university examinations and thus providing needed interventions for improved student performance. The Paper uses data mining approach with 10 fold cross validation to classify students based on predictors which are demographic and social characteristics of the students. This paper compares five popular machine learning algorithms Rep Tree, Jrip, Random Forest, Random Tree, Naive Bayes algorithms based on overall classifier accuracy as well as other class specific indicators i.e. precision, recall, f-measure. Results proved that Rep tree algorithm outperformed other machine learning algorithms in classifying students who are at more likely to fail in the examinations.

In this period of computerization, schooling has additionally remodeled itself and is not restrained to old lecture technique. The everyday quest is on to discover better approaches to make it more successful and productive for students. These days, masses of data are gathered in educational databases, however it stays unutilized. To be able to get required advantages from such major information, effective tools are required. Data mining is a developing capable tool for examination and expectation. It is effectively applied in the field of fraud detection, marketing, promoting, forecast and loan assessment. However, it is in incipient stage in the area of education. In this paper, data mining techniques have been applied to construct a classification model to predict the performance of students.
