University Admissions Predictor Using Logistic Regression

Abstract

Students applying for admissions to universities find it difficult to understand whether they have good chances of getting admission in a university or not. Keeping this in focus, we have used logistic regression techniques that have gained attention in software engineering field for its ability to be used for predictions. This is a novel work on a university admissions predictor using which students can evaluate their competitiveness for getting admission at a university. This is developed by collecting real student data. The data is stored in a form of a usable training data for the logistic regression classifier developed to make admissions predictions. We have collected the data from the Internet using a Selenium web scraper. The paper intensely discusses the methods, implementation and challenges faced in the process.
