Deployment of ID3 decision tree algorithm for placement prediction

This paper details the ID3 classification algorithm. Very simply, ID3 builds a decision tree from a fixed set of examples. The resulting tree is used to classify future samples. The decision node is an attribute test with each branch to another decision tree being a possible value of the attribute. ID3 uses information gain to help it decide which attribute goes into a decision node. The main aim of this paper is to identify relevant attributes based on quantitative and qualitative aspects of a students profile such as CGPA, academic performance, technical and communication skills and design a model which can predict the placement of a student. For this purpose ID3 classification technique based on decision tree has been used.
