Abstract — Data Mining is the crucial step to find out previously unknown information
from huge relational databases. Many techniques and algorithms are there in data mining,
namely Association rules, clustering, and classification and prediction techniques. Each of
the techniques holds its particular characteristics and behavior. In this paper, the authors
proposed a new method with prime focus on clustering technique. The database for the
specific set of students was collected. The clustering is made on some detailed manner and
the results were produced. The clustering algorithm used here is the K-Means clustering
algorithm, to find the nearest possible and cluster the similar group. The advantage of the
proposed methodology is that, the cluster groups can be controlled, modified and accessed
with ease. The dataset experimented contained 180 records with 63 attributes. The cluster
group enables the dataset to be visualized in multiple dimensions with ease of access. The
experimental analysis showed how the K-Means algorithm can be used especially to
improve engineering students performance in higher education. This document gives
formatting instructions for authors preparing papers for publication in the Proceedings of
an IEEE conference. The authors must follow the instructions given in the document for
the papers to be published. You can use this document as both an instruction set and as a
template into which you can type your own text.
