Big Data and Analytics in Higher Educational Institutions

The higher educational institutions are working in a rapidly increasingly complicated and competitive scenario. The contemporary challenges faced by the higher educational institutions in India are discussed in this paper. Big Data is a trending area of research that is using data analysis to notify decisions. Research on Big Data is mainly focused on evaluating real-time, compiled data and corresponds to heavy datasets to find repeating behavioral patterns instead of creating metadata of the status quo. This paper outlined the effect of Big Data analytics to improve faculty members’ understanding of learners’ perspectives and behavior toward the programs as well as opportunities and challenges associated with its knowledge and implementation.
