Abstract

Digital transformation in the field of education plays a significant role especially when used for analysis of various teaching and learning parameters to predict global ranking index of the universities across the world. Machine learning is a subset of computer science facilitates machine to learn the data using various algorithms and predict the results. This research explores the Quacquarelli Symonds approach for evaluating global university rankings and develop machine learning models for predicting global rankings. The research uses exploratory data analysis for analysing the dataset and then evaluate machine learning algorithms using regression techniques for predicting the global rankings. The research also addresses the future scope towards evaluating machine learning algorithms for predicting outcomes using classification and clustering techniques.
