In this era of E-Learning the Automated System for essay assessment is need of the time. There are many researches has been performed for this domain. In this paper we have reviewed some of the work related to this. Most of research uses Semantic Similarity Score and Sentimental Analysis for this purpose. Mostly NLTK and POS (Part of the Speech) is used. Various traditional algorithm of Machine Learning like SVM, Naïve Bayes, Random Forest etc. are used for performance classification. They have used measurement parameters in terms of KAPPA Statistics (QWK). We have also summarized methods related to Essay Evaluations with pros and cons in this paper. Feature selection methods and NLP attributes are also discussed. Keywords: Machine Learning, Sentimental Analysis, NLP, Essay Evaluation I. INTRODUCTION With the ease of online education during pandemic, the need of automated essay and long answer evaluations are also in need. Large amount of enrolment in various courses from the students and submissions of their work requires a model that can be used for evaluation. As NLP has been used in so many applications related to long and short text, it can also be useful for Essay Evaluation also. NLP [1] has proven its efficiency in various applications like summarization of text, sentiment analysis, categorization of news etc. There are many options in machine learning that can be applied with NLP for essay evaluation also. II. Various Methodologies NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING (NLP): In the field of technology, NLP makes systems to make communication toward users. This communication is done using human languages. We can define a language as a set of rules or we can also say a set of symbols called characters. In any human language, characters are combined in proper way, as a result there should be a way to convey the information for understanding the language to machine. The final
