Background of the study
Student admission processes in Nigerian universities have been plagued by fraud, including the submission of false credentials, impersonation, and the manipulation of academic records. Traditional methods of verifying admission documents and student credentials are often time-consuming and susceptible to human error, which makes it difficult to effectively prevent fraudulent activities. With advancements in artificial intelligence, there is potential for creating automated fraud detection systems that can analyze student admission data, flag inconsistencies, and identify fraudulent patterns. AI-powered systems can efficiently analyze large datasets, cross-reference applicant information, and detect irregularities in real-time. This study aims to evaluate the use of AI in developing fraud detection models for student admission in Sokoto South LGA, Sokoto State, with the goal of improving the integrity of the admission process.
Statement of the problem
In Sokoto South LGA, the student admission process for universities is often compromised by fraudulent activities such as the submission of forged documents and impersonation. Despite efforts to address this issue, traditional manual methods of verification are not sufficient to completely eliminate fraud, leading to unfair admissions. AI-based fraud detection models could provide a more robust solution by automating the detection of irregularities and enhancing the overall security of the admission process. However, the application of AI for this purpose in Sokoto South LGA has not been fully explored, and there is limited research on its effectiveness in preventing admission fraud in the region.
Objectives of the study
1. To analyze the effectiveness of AI-based fraud detection models in identifying fraudulent student admissions in Sokoto South LGA.
2. To evaluate the impact of AI-based models on the efficiency and accuracy of the student admission process.
3. To develop recommendations for integrating AI fraud detection models into the student admission system in Sokoto South LGA.
Research questions
1. How effective are AI-based fraud detection models in identifying fraudulent student admission applications in Sokoto South LGA?
2. What types of fraudulent activities can be identified through AI models in the student admission process?
3. How can AI-based fraud detection improve the overall efficiency and accuracy of student admissions?
Research hypotheses
1. AI-based fraud detection models will significantly reduce the occurrence of fraudulent student admission applications in Sokoto South LGA.
2. AI models will identify more types of fraud in student admissions than traditional manual methods.
3. The integration of AI-based fraud detection systems will improve the efficiency and accuracy of the student admission process in Sokoto South LGA.
Significance of the study
This study will contribute to the development of AI-based fraud detection solutions that can enhance the integrity and transparency of student admissions. By providing insights into the effectiveness of AI models in preventing admission fraud, this research could guide policy changes in Sokoto South LGA and other regions to adopt AI-driven systems for admission verification.
Scope and limitations of the study
The study will focus on the evaluation of AI-based fraud detection models in student admissions in Sokoto South LGA, Sokoto State. The limitations include the availability of data for training the AI models and potential resistance to adopting new technologies within the local educational system.
