Abstract(in English) In point of students, ‘dropout’ problem in higher education wastes their time and tuition fees. In contrast, universities lost their resources in various aspect as well. That is also a critical issue in Prince of Songkla University (PSU), Thailand. The Data Strategy division of the office of Digital Innovation and Intelligent Systems (DIIS) analyzed the factors and predict the dropout of students in PSU which is the biggest university in southern. By using secondary data from the database at 4 campuses, namely Hat Yai Campus, Trang Campus, Surat Thani Campus. And Phuket Campus from the academic year 2016 to 2021. There was a total of 12 independent variables, and the dependent variable was the PSU's student dropout related. By using the student dropout and graduation student data for the train model, and the resulting model to predict students who are studying the results of the analysis showed that the 3 techniques with the highest accuracy were the Light Gradient Boosting Machine technique with a predicting accuracy of 90.78% and the second, the Random Forest Classifier technique, with a predicting accuracy of 90.78%, 90.29% and the Extra Trees Classifier had predicting accuracy of 89.60% respectively, which were the very good levels.
