Among the biggest challenges that the Indian higher education faces today is predicting the education-related aspirations of students. Educational institutions need information such as which students will enrol in specific courses, which students are likely to need more support in one or more subjects, students’ probable academic attainment, the success of new courses offered etc. The answer to all these problems lies in the rapidly evolving field of Data Mining. Data mining can help educational institutions take decisions more accurately and efficiently. This paper discusses the broad areas to which data mining is applicable, the scope of educational data mining and discusses various data mining tools and techniques that can be effectively used in assisting educational institutions.
