The research study is performed as experimental analysis and develop models from nine machine learning algorithms including KNN, Naïve Bayes, SVM, Logistic regression, Decision Tree, Random forest, Adaboost, Bagging Classifier, and voting Classifier. The model is then applied to data collected from a reputable university that included 126,698 records with twenty-six (26) initial data attributes. The results show that the Random forest model performed better in terms of accuracy of 90.12% as compared to other models.
