Abstract
The nation's core sector is education. But dealing with problems in educational institutions, particularly in higher education, is a challenging task. The growth of education and technology has led to a number of research challenges that have attracted significant attention as well as a notable increase in the amount of data available in academic databases. Higher education institutions today are worried about outcome-based education and various techniques to assess a student's knowledge level or capacity for learning. In general, there are more contributors in the academic field than there are authors. Research is being done in this field to determine the best algorithm and features that are crucial for predicting the future outcomes. This survey can help educational institutions assess themselves and find any gaps that need to be filled in order to fulfil their purpose and vision. Machine Learning (ML) approaches have been explored to solve the issues as higher education systems have grown in size.
