ROLE OF DATA MINING IN EDUCATION SECTOR

Universities either public or private and its colleges enroll thousands of students into var ious courses or programs every year. They collect inform ation from students at the time of admissions and s tore the same in computers. Understanding the benefits o f data is essential from business point of view. Da ta can be used for classifying and predicting the students ’ behaviour, performance, dropouts as well as teach ers’ performance. Therefore, this paper examines the rol e f data mining in an education sector. In additio n, lays emphasis on application of data mining that contrib ute to offer competitive courses and improve their business.
