In today’s world competition is increasing day by day. In field of higher education as competition is increasing so the student self-harm rate is increasing. The reason for this is because students are not able to cope with studies and under pressure they do self-harm. Data mining is a technique which can be used to decrease this self-harm rate. In this paper we want to explain that using data mining we can predict result of students beforehand by using previous year result or any other factors in early stages of any course. This technique is called Prediction Analysis and this an example of use of data mining in the field of education. It can also be called as educational data mining. Any Data mining can be used for this prediction analysis and we will be using WEKA tool of data mining to predict result.
