Abstract

Nowadays, student database have large amount of datasets. Mining student database is important to predict the student who are at risk and then train the students to improve their performance. Predict student performance is a basic need of higher educational institutions. A criterion of the best educational institution is based on its excellent academic achievements. Predict the student performance using data mining techniques are classification, clustering. Compare classification and clustering, classification techniques are gave high accuracy. In this paper, I have discussed about various classification algorithms are highly used in predict the student performance
