ABSTRACT
This project will utilize machine learning algorithms, including
regression analysis, decision trees, and neural networks, to develop predictive
models that identify students who may struggle or excel in their academic
performance. The project will focus on applying data engineering techniques
and machine learning algorithms to large datasets that contain academic and
non-academic factors. The goal is to analyze student performance by
identifying key factors that impact academic success, such as attendance,
study habits, and socioeconomic status. The project's findings can be used by
educators to identify at-risk students and develop targeted interventions to
improve their academic outcomes. This project is a contribution to the
emerging field of educational data mining, which has the potential to
revolutionize education by providing personalized learning, early
identification of struggling students, and tailoring teaching to individual needs.
The successful application of machine learning and data engineering
techniques in this project can provide valuable insights for educators in
making informed decisions and interventions to promote student academic
success.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Quality education plays a critical role in the UN-approved
Sustainable Development Goals (17-SDGs). A crucial aspect to keep in mind
while working on the Sustainable Development Goals, providing equal
opportunities, and sharing them equitably. The thesis of students in access to
tertiary education is a serious matter, which must be evaluated globally.
Education should be a priority for the improvement of our organizations.
Administrative and teaching staff should improve their productivity by
recognizing the development of programs and competencies, which will provide
better learning opportunities for students. In this context, secondary and
intermediate schools should also concentrate on the development and
improvement of educational models through the integration of information and
communication technologies which can be used as a tool for promoting social
responsibility and equal opportunities. From this perspective, ICT performance
in education systems is important because they can make a significant

SYSTEM STUDY AND ANALYSIS
2.1 LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Chitra Jalota and Rashmi Agrawal. Title: Analysis of
Educational Data Mining using Classification. Publisher: International
Conference on Machine Learning, Big Data, Cloud and Parallel
Computing (COMITCon). Date: 2020.
Educational Data Mining is a new area of research that employs data mining
techniques. It employs machine learning algorithms and statistical
techniques to assist the user in interpreting students' learning habits,
academic performance, and future improvement if necessary. In this paper,
Chitra Jalota will discuss various data mining techniques that can be used to
predict student performance levels. Kalboard 360 dataset was used and
applied to Weka to analyse data mining techniques.

This graphic provides a concise and understandable description of all the
entities currently integrated into the system. The diagram shows how the many
actions and choices are linked together. You might say that the whole process
and how it was carried out is a picture. The figure below shows the functional
connections between various entities.
