Comparative Analysis of Decision Tree Algorithms for the Student’s Placement Prediction

Abstract: This proposes paper apply decision tree algorithms to predict the result of student campus placement. In this paper we also perform the comparative analysis of three decision tree algorithms (Id3,J48and random tree).In our study important classification model is generated to decide which the students might placed or non placed during campus placement process. The experiment is conducted using WEKA open source data mining tool on the real data set collected from final year students of computer engineering department of Punjabi University ,Patiala.
