Abstract

In recent times, it is seen that many graduate students are willing to learn in foreign universities. Various factors like better opportunities of research, post-graduation, PhD and wider exposure to grab work in a plethora of jobs drive fresh graduates and experienced people to apply for different universities. This situation is predominant in students from Indian sub-continent and Asian countries. These students aim to get admissions in many top universities in the USA. According to the data obtained, the scores of exams like GRE, IELTS, TOEFL and, GPA of UG along with the work experience play a pivotal role in the university admissions. The aim of the web based recommendation system is to suggest the users - top 3 recommended colleges based on their profiles and inputs. As students spend huge amounts of money on counseling for obtaining university recommendations, our UniPredict system acts as a complete cost affordable platform for accurate results and user preferences. Collaborative filtering and content-based filtering is used to form a hybrid model that will be in turn used with ensemble learning to predict the universities. This system can be financially very affordable and helpful for the test takers to send 4 universities free applications after taking their test according to the GRE policy as of 2021.
