College Admission Predictor in PHP

This paper presents a new college admission system using hybrid recommender based on data mining techniques and knowledge discovery rules, for tackling college admissions prediction problems. This is due to the huge numbers of students required to attend university colleges every year. The proposed HRSPCA system consists of two cascaded hybrid recommenders working together with the help of college predictor, for achieving high performance. The first recommender assigns student's tracks for preparatory year students. While the second recommender assigns the specialized college for students who passed the preparatory year exams successfully. The college predictor algorithm uses historical colleges GPA students admission data for predicting most probable colleges. The system analyzes student academic merits, background, student records, and the college admission criteria. Then, it predicts the likelihood university college that a student may enter. A prototype system is implemented and tested with live data available in the On Demand University Services (ODUS) database resources, at King Abdulaziz University (KAU). In addition to the high prediction accuracy rate, flexibility is an advantage, as the system can predict suitable colleges that match the students' profiles and the suitable track channels through which the students are advised to enter. The system is adaptive, since it can be tuned up with other decision makers attributes performing trusted needed tasks faster and fairly.
