This is applied in students¡¯ quantitative data analysis to identify the most impact factor in their performance in their curriculum. The results will help the educational institutions to improve the quality of teaching after evaluating the marks achieved by the students¡¯ in academic career. This student analysis model considers the quantitative factors such as theoretical, mathematical, practical, departmental and other departmental marks to find the most impacting factor using genetic algorithm. http://pubs.sciepub.com/jcsa/1/4/3/jcsa-1-4-3.pdf students¡¯ performance quantitative factors genetic algorithm influencing parameter students evaluation results
