Abstract

The university admission process plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of aspiring students. However, traditional methods of admission decisions often fall short in capturing the holistic capabilities of individuals and may introduce bias. This study aims to improve the admission process by developing and evaluating machine learning approach to predict the likelihood of university admission. Using a dataset of previous applicants' information, advanced algorithms such as K-Nearest Neighbors, Random Forest, Support Vector Regression, and XGBoost are employed. These algorithms are applied, and their performance is compared to determine the best model to predict university admission. Among the models evaluated, the Random Forest algorithm emerged as the most reliable and effective in predicting admission outcomes. Through comprehensive analysis and evaluation, the Random Forest model demonstrated its superior performance, consistency, and dependability. The results show the importance of variables such as academic performance and provide insights into the accuracy and reliability of the model. This research has the potential to empower aspiring applicants and bring positive changes to the university admission process.

Abstract

Education is important for societal advancement and individual empowerment, providing opportunities, developing essential skills, and breaking cycles of poverty. Nonetheless, the path to educational success is marred by challenges such as achieving academic excellence and preventing student dropouts. Early identification of students at risk of dropping out or those likely to excel academically can significantly enhance educational outcomes through tailored interventions. Traditional methods often fall short in precision and foresight for effective early detection. While previous studies have utilized machine learning to predict student performance, the potential for more sophisticated ensemble methods, such as stacked classifiers, remains largely untapped in educational contexts. This study develops a stacked classifier integrating the predictive strengths of LightGBM, Random Forest, and logistic regression. The model achieved an accuracy of 80.23%, with precision, recall, and F1-score of 79.09%, 80.23%, and 79.20%, respectively, surpassing the performance of the individual models tested. These results underscore the stacked classifier's enhanced predictive capability and transformative potential in educational settings. By accurately identifying students at risk and those likely to achieve academic excellence early, educational institutions can better allocate resources and design targeted interventions. This approach optimizes educational outcomes and supports informed policymaking, fostering environments conducive to student success.
