Predicting Student Performance: A Comparative Analysis of Machine Learning Algorithms on HSLC Exam Data

This paper compares three machine learning algorithms—k-Nearest Neighbours (k-NN), Random Forest, as well as Support Vector Machine (SVM)—for predicting high school student performance, using actual exam data from 12,211 students in Jorhat, Assam. The most important decision was to keep all student records (109 absent...
