Abstract: In recent years, a lot of data has been generated about students, which can be utilized for deciding the career path of the student. This paper discusses some of the machine learning techniques which can be used to predict the performance of a student and help to decide his/her career path. Some of the key Machine Learning (ML) algorithms applied in our research work are Linear Regression, Logistics Regression, Support Vector machine, Naïve Bayes Classifier and K- means Clustering. The aim of this paper is to predict the student career path using Machine Learning algorithms. We compare the efficiencies of different ML classification algorithms on a real dataset obtained from University students.
Keywords: Machine Learning, Student Performance.
Scope of the Article: Machine Learning.
