Big data the word itself suggests that the data sets are exceptionally big and complicated in nature. A range of datasets are included in big data. It is challenging to process these data sets with conventional data processing methods. For example, the amount of student data in the education sector makes it very challenging to track student performance using traditional data processing techniques. In India, millions of students graduate each year. India has now surpassed China in terms of population and is now the most populous country in the world. In addition to the population growth, the number of kids enrolling in school is rising annually. Because of the amount and velocity of the data sets, it is difficult to monitor student performance in the field of education. Monitoring student performance is crucial for all educational establishments. Additionally, it is crucial that parents are aware of their child's academic progress. This can be facilitated by employing big data analytics as a tool to monitor student performance. Educational institutions can use big data analytics as a tool instead of heavily depending on traditional tools. One of the hallmarks of big data is its enormous volume, which can be measured in petabytes or exabytes. The pace of the datasets, which is rising due to the expansion of sources like social media platforms, is another characteristic. The student performance datasets come in a variety of formats, including semi-structured, unstructured, and structured data.
