Use of Data Mining for Evolution of Student Performance

In India, the technical education is providing through three layers viz. engineering colleges, polytechnic colleges and ITIs. They are providing degrees, diplomas and certificates. Thousands and thousands of students are studying in these institutes. The biggest problems before these institutes are that improving the quality teaching. These institutes have big data describing student performances. In this paper I will make a case study of a polytechnic college that helps in improving the education quality. By the use of data analysis and obtaining the factors that can improve the results of institute. It also increases the chances of success for the students. For all of this I use data mining techniques. I will try to show the significance of data preprocessing for improving the accuracy of the result.
