Abstract
Data mining is a new approach for education. The main objectives of higher education institutions are to provide quality education to its students for their better placement opportunity. We could use Decision tree algorithms to predict student selection in placement. It helps us to identify the dropouts of the student who need special attention and allow the teacher to provide appropriate placement training. This paper describes how the different Decision tree algorithms used to predict student performance in placement. In the first step we have gathered the last two years passed out students details from placement cell in Dr. N. G. P Arts and Science College. In the second step preprocessing was done on those data and attributes were selected for prediction and in the third step Decision tree algorithms such as ID3, CHAID, and C4. 5 were implemented by using Rapid Miner tool. Validation is checked for the three algorithms and accuracy is found for them. The best algorithm based on the collected placement data is ID3 with an accuracy of 95. 33%.
