🎓 EduPredict AI – Student Performance Prediction & Early Warning System

EduPredict AI is a Django-based Machine Learning application designed to analyze student-related data, predict academic performance, and identify students who may be at academic risk.

The system uses factors such as study hours, attendance, previous scores, internet availability, and sleep hours to generate machine learning predictions and provide meaningful performance insights.

🚀 Key Features

• 📊 Student performance prediction using Machine Learning

• 🤖 Multiple ML model comparison and evaluation

• ⚠️ Identification of academically at-risk students

• 📁 CSV dataset upload and processing

• 📈 Data analysis and visualization

• 👨‍🎓 Student management through Django

• 🎯 Prediction results and performance insights

• 🔔 Early-warning support for timely intervention

• 🗄️ Database integration using SQLite

🛠️ Tech Stack

Programming: Python
Backend: Django
Machine Learning: Scikit-learn
Data Analysis: Pandas, NumPy
Visualization: Matplotlib
Frontend: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Bootstrap
Database: SQLite

🧠 Machine Learning Workflow

The project follows a basic ML pipeline:

Data Collection → Data Preprocessing → Exploratory Data Analysis → Feature Selection → Model Training → Model Evaluation → Prediction → Student Risk Analysis

🎯 Project Objective

The main goal of EduPredict AI is to provide data-driven insights that can help teachers and mentors identify students who may require additional academic support.

The system is designed as a decision-support tool, not as a replacement for human judgment.
