Student Performance Prediction - ML Project

Project Title

Student Performance Prediction using Machine Learning

Student Name

Akanksha Sharma

Enrollment Number

EN22CS301080

Introduction

Predicting student academic performance is essential in identifying students who may need additional

support. Using historical data like attendance, study time, and previous grades, machine learning can classify

students into categories such as 'Pass' or 'Fail'. This project uses supervised learning, specifically Logistic

Regression, to build a predictive model.

Objective

The main objective is to predict whether a student will pass or fail based on their performance-related

features using machine learning techniques.

Dataset Description

The dataset includes the following features:

- study_time: Hours spent studying per week

- absences: Number of school absences

- G1, G2: Previous period grades

- passed: Final result (yes/no)

Machine Learning Process


Student Performance Prediction - ML Project

1. Data Collection: Load student performance data

2. Data Preprocessing: Handle missing values, encode labels

3. Feature Selection: Select useful columns for training

4. Splitting Dataset: 80% train and 20% test

5. Model Training: Apply Logistic Regression

6. Evaluation: Use accuracy and confusion matrix

Algorithms Used

- Logistic Regression: A classification algorithm based on the sigmoid function.

- Metrics: Accuracy, Confusion Matrix, Precision, Recall

Python Code

import pandas as pd

from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression

from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score, confusion_matrix

import seaborn as sns

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Load dataset

data = pd.read_csv("student_data.csv")

X = data.drop("passed", axis=1)

y = data["passed"]

# Train-test split

X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)

# Train model

model = LogisticRegression()

model.fit(X_train, y_train)
Student Performance Prediction - ML Project

# Predict and evaluate

y_pred = model.predict(X_test)

print("Accuracy:", accuracy_score(y_test, y_pred))

cm = confusion_matrix(y_test, y_pred)

sns.heatmap(cm, annot=True)

plt.show()

Flowchart of the Process

See the flowchart below.

Confusion Matrix Graph

See the accuracy graph below.

Result

The model achieved high accuracy, successfully classifying students as pass or fail. The confusion matrix

showed good prediction capability.

Conclusion

Machine learning can provide early predictions of student performance, allowing educators to take timely

action. Logistic regression is a simple yet effective algorithm for such classification tasks. This project

demonstrates a complete machine learning workflow from data collection to prediction.
