In an educational system, monitoring the progress of students academic performance is a challenging issue. Currently there is an increasing interest in data mining and educational systems leading to the development of educational data mining. It helps in evaluating progression in an academic environment. In this paper, we have implemented Apriori algorithm for analysing student's result data, in order to monitor the progression of academic performance of students for the purpose of making an effective decision by the academic planners. This leads to better results thereby increasing the profitability of the educational institutions specially in the private institutions.
