It has always been essential for an early signal to help the developmental mindset. In this research work, we attempted exploring dynamic data set and apply data mining based methods to explore student's insights based on characteristics related to academic, technical and interpersonal factors. This research helped prediction of student's estimated career including student's strength and weakness.
