ABSTRACT
This Paper aimed at developing on Online College Prediction System that is of importance to the
college as well as students. In recent time for student to select college for higher education is very
difficult as per their aggregate percentage. After the complete of diploma for higher education
admission limited seats are available. Student don’t know for his/her which college is applicable. This
study focuses on ways to support student in admissions decision making using data mining techniques
to predict colleges based on previous cut-off performance at institute. In college prediction system
based on valid and reliable cut- off criteria is very important to select colleges for higher education.
Every college enroll their college in college module then admin have a right to approve or disapprove
if the college is centralized then admin approved this college if college decentralized then admin
disapprove this college. centralized college is show to student as per their percentage. Several data
higher learning institutions, student percentage is the factor most important to a university’s
quality. EDM is currently the technique most commonly used by researchers to evaluate and predict
student performance due to its significance in decision making. To avoid this type of condition,
student required some helping platform which gives them correct knowledge or information about
college. In this context, this study focuses on supporting Students in making admissions decisions
through the application of data mining techniques to better predict College before designation.
Second, through a correlation coefficient analysis, we determine the relation between college cut-off
criteria and student’s aggregate of diploma. We also identify admission criterion that most accurately
predicts college cut-off performance so that decision makers can assign more weight to this particular
criterion.
This would support institute decision makers as they set efficient admissions principles. This is
because they use only formal statistical methods rather than new and efficient predictive techniques
such as Educational Data Mining (EDM), which is the most popular technique to evaluate and predict
college cut-off performance. EDM is the process of extracting useful details and models from a huge
educational database, which can then be used to predict students’ performance.

 INTRODUCTION
In Recent Time, all higher education institutions, especially diploma pass out student’s, face challenges in
the admission process. Each university should strive for an admissions system based on valid and
reliable admissions criteria that select student likely to succeed in its cut-off criteria. In addition, each
student should use the best possible techniques for predicting college previous cut-off criteria for
admitting them. Each student faces some issues because in admission system, limited seats are available
that’s why student's get confuse because in India each college have a different category criteria. In
category wise limited seats allocated for each college, then student gets confused and put wrong option
according their aggregate without seeing criteria and then unfortunately lost all this college options.
Second way of admission is management through but in that also college requirement is very high for
fees, every student is not affording these fees and student take one year gap and student loss their one
year. On a survey basis there are 80% to 90% student did not find perfect college and lost their
admission due to they did not able to reserve the seat because of make mistakes in college selection. This
type of condition makes additional threats to the student career. To avoid this type of condition, student
required some helping platform which gives them correct knowledge or information about college. In
this context, this study focuses on supporting Students in making admissions decisions through the
application of data mining techniques to better predict College before designation. This would support
institute decision makers as they set efficient admissions principles. This is because they use only formal
statistical methods rather than new and efficient predictive techniques such as Educational Data Mining
(EDM), which is the most popular technique to evaluate and predict college cut-off -performance. EDM is
the process of extracting useful details and models from a huge educational database, which can then be
used to predict students’ performance. Nowadays with the advent in technology and with the perpetual
increase in the strength of the students and the number of engineering institute in the educational
universities, it is laborious to select the collage for Admission process. This process is very difficult for
student. It is not easy for students to find the collage wise cut-off list even on internet also. Student
enters the random collages which student likes but they did not think about the collage previous cut-off
or it is applicable for him/her. The main objective of the Web based application for higher education is to
help the students to select the proper and those collages which are suitable for students on their
performance. It provides an automated system which shows the list of collages which is suitable for
student from student last year aggregate and caste category. First student can register and using login
and password they can login on the student panel. After the login student can view the suitable collages.
The implementation of this project helps both the students as well as collages. For direct second year
limited seats are available for admission so collages also wants to fill the seats. As soon as possible. The
collage can register their collage and if the collage is centralized the admin can approve this collage
otherwise disapprove this college. If collage is approved by admin it is able to login and able to add cut-
off of every year department and caste category wise also. On the basis of this aggregate, system can give

2
the perfect prediction of collage from the student side. It is made very easy to give the options of collages
for CAP round process to student because the system gives the 99.99% perfect prediction analysis of
collage using the student aggregate and caste category. It is very important to give some reference for the
CAP round process and some guideline.

LITERATURE SURVEY
Several data higher learning institutions, student percentage is the factor most important to a university’s quality. EDM is
currently the technique most commonly used by researchers to evaluate and predict student performance due to its
significance in decision making.
Predicting college cut-off to student aggregate to has two main factors: attributes and prediction methods. It has been
shown in that student aggregate is the most frequently used attribute in predicting student performance at university. It has
been used in many examinations. Other attributes commonly used by exploration to predict college cut-off by student
percentage at university are: category wise and branch wise. Few researches have used other attributes like extra student
demography, and college information.
However, input variables such as college information are used to predict colleges cut-off to student aggregate of diploma
for university in the college prediction process for student higher education admission. This is the focus of this study. Several
data mining classification techniques have been applied for college prediction for student admission. For example, The
institute allocated seat for minimum 20 and student apply their seat is 500 extra, so student don’t know which college
applicable above their marks and student have only three round for college if student select college, but their mark student
not any seat allot then student applicable for management quota if student financial is poor then student not admit for
college so it gates year drop means student loss their one year because of their mistake to fill form wrong, if student fill
right college above their category wise criteria follow and previous cut-off then student don’t have any loss so we study
this process.
The analysis of the literature reveals that most available studies do not explore the relationship between college cut- off
scores and their expected college in the admissions process. Thus, this study fills a research gap.

SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE AND METHODOLOGY

In this study, different admissions criteria were used as input attributes to predict student’s second-year aggregate
in the computer sciences colleges of engineering.

Most of the few published related studies performed in India have been confined to engineering colleges. These
studies have not used EDM, which can discover hidden patterns in institution’s large datasets, and therefore
enhance their decision making. One of the very few studies related to this topic that has been confined to a computer
science college is study, which applied one of the EDM techniques to predict student’s final aggregate based on their
grades in all semester. The authors of collected data from the institute of the Computer Science year wise cut-off.
They identified which courses in the study plan most strongly affect for direct-second year student. However, they
applied only one EDM technique on a very small database to predict college above their final aggregate percentage
in diploma and did not ensure the accuracy of their results by using additional EDM techniques.

Another study that related to this topic is study of each institute because each institute has different cut-off of each
year as branch wise and category wise, which applied key based algorithm to search student aggregate based on
their college criteria above their last year cut-off of college. By comparing results of the college show above their
final year aggregate using prediction techniques, they found that key based search outperformed others by achieving
a prediction accuracy rate of 99%.

However, the studies have not assessed the relationship between admission criteria and computer science student
performance in universities, which is the focus of this study.

To the best of our knowledge, the only related published study that addressed this topic is study. In this study, the
authors applied classification techniques on a database of college to determine whether pre-result of cap round
process have a significant effect on student aggregate. They found that institute final grade affects college more than
student. These findings differ from the findings of this study.

However, their data was collected from all colleges, all department (Computer, Civil, Electrical, E&TC, Mechanical)
and all category (Open, OBC, SC, ST, NT) of the College of higher education at India, which has five departments. In
addition, they only used one key based search algorithm to search the key as department wise, category wise, and all
other fields match on their data rather than applying different EDM models to predict colleges above colleges, which
could have enhanced their findings.

Algorithm

Input:
root, trapdoor containing keyword to be searched.

Output:

pointer to the documents containing the keywords; NULL if non-exist.

1. Start

2. NODE_x = Disk Read (root).

3. if NODE_x is an index node

(a) If there is an object o in NODE_x such that o: key

= keyword, return o: value.

(b) Find the child pointer x: child [I] whose key range contains key.

(c) Return Search Query (NODE_x: child [I], key).

4. else If there is an object o in NODE_x such that o:key = keyword, return o:value. Otherwise, return NULL.

5.end if.

The takes trapdoor and root as input and searches for the keywords match in database.

The disk Read reads the corresponding root page from disk to memory and returns the location in memory that gets
stored in node NODE_x.

If NODE_x is index node then trapdoor is checked to see for keyword match. If found returns the corresponding
document pointed by the node. Otherwise based on keyword, search will move to the child of NODE_x using pointers.

The search continues recursively. Otherwise, if NODE_x represents leaf then return the pointer to document if search
succeeds otherwise NULL.

FUTURE SCOPE

This project only direct second year students can use. In future the after-12th students can also use. We can
implement this project for after 10 th students also. now the project is a web-based project in future
project is implement in the application form means in web based is not friendly for everyone so
application based is best option for future. Now for this web-based tool we required the network
connection to use this or take benefits of this. In future the offline application is implements. Now we
give prediction on the basis of students caste category and aggregate but in future we give the
prediction on the basis of Aadhar card number. Now we are giving analysis only for engineering
students but in future we are give analysis for commerce science and arts students. now we give the
only prediction but in future we provide the E-books to students and learning saved video is also
provided to student by us.

CONCLUSION

The aim of this study is to support Students in making good decisions in its admissions process by predicting
College before filling the admission form. The study was conducted with a largest dataset of college. The
technique used, however, are generally and can be used in any higher education institution. The study
confirms the effectiveness of prediction College for higher education where decision makers can use these
models in planning and optimizing colleges. In addition, the results show that a high- performance model to
predict colleges early performance could be developed based on pre-admission information. Also, college and
student search using deep searching means search with one or more keywords.
