Cleaned Version

In this cleaned version of the dataset, significant efforts have been made to enhance its quality and usability. The following improvements were made:

Handling Missing Values:

All missing values, including NaN and Null values, have been meticulously addressed for every feature in the dataset.
Specifically, missing values in the "Name of University" and "Location" columns have been replaced with meaningful placeholders: "Unknown University" and "Unknown Location," respectively.

Encoding and Transformation:

One-hot encoding has been applied to the "Name of University" and "Location" columns, converting categorical data into a numerical format suitable for analysis and modeling.
The "Female Ratio" and "Male Ratio" columns have been separated, allowing for more straightforward analysis of gender ratios.
"OverAll Score" has been divided into "OverAll Score Min" and "OverAll Score Max" columns, providing insights into the range of scores.
"International Student" values have been encoded as fractional values, making it easier to interpret and analyze.
Several features, including "Female Ratio," "Male Ratio," "OverAll Score Min," "OverAll Score Max," "No of Student," and "International Student," have been encoded as numerical values, improving their compatibility with data analysis and modeling techniques.

These enhancements have transformed the dataset into a cleaned and well-structured resource for data analysis, machine learning, and research in the field of higher education. Researchers and data enthusiasts can now explore and gain valuable insights from this improved dataset with confidence.

Whether you are conducting exploratory data analysis, building predictive models, or conducting research, this cleaned version of the dataset provides a solid foundation for your analytical endeavors.
