A COMPLETE SURVEY ON PREDICTING PERFORMANCE OF ENGINEERING STUDENTS

Predictive models are quasi experimental structures used to determine the future patterns in data. These meaningful data patterns form the building block of any decision support system. Researchers all over the world have built many prediction models for major industries. Research works in the educational sector has increased steeply. This steep increase may be due to the high availability of data in the educational domain. This survey tries to comprehend a few literary works on academic performance prediction of engineering students with the focus on grade predictions. Meaningful interpretations have been made and inferences are presented at the end of this paper.
