The study concerned to data mining techniques with educational data is known as Educational Data Mining (EDM). This study finds knowledge and interesting patterns in educational organization. Students performance are the subject mainly concerned to find the qualitative model based on student’s personal and social factors then classify and predict the student performance. Proper counseling to underperforming students can reduce dropout ratio and help them to continue their studies.
