A Machine Learning Approach for Predicting Student Performance

Authors(4) :-C. Selvi, R. Shalini, V. Navaneethan, L. Santhiya

An University’s reputation and its standard are weighted by its students performance and their part in the future economic prosperity of the nation, hence a novel method of predicting the student’s upcoming academic performance is really essential to provide a pre-requisite information upon their performances. A machine learning model can be developed to predict the student’s upcoming scores or their entire performance depending upon their previous academic performances.
