Knowledge Discovery in Educational Databases in Indian Educational System: A Case Study of GHRCE, Nagpur

India ranks third in the higher education after United States and China. However, advanced learning management system is not widely used or accepted in India as compared to its counterparts. The reason may be due to highly diverse population, huge size, variable quality and many strengths & weaknesses leading to various problems. Such problems can be addressed using Educational Data Mining. Educational Data Mining is an area of research that makes use of data that Educational institutes hold and bring out potential insights to improve its system. There are various applications of EDM in the domain which not only focuses on learner’s improvement but also help educators to improve their learning environment. And each of the application may require different algorithms, tools or data mining techniques. This paper discusses the major areas where EDM tools and techniques can be applied in the Indian context
