   • Generating the grade distribution data for all the depth subjects in the previous year
   • Generate list of all the breadth and elective courses that were actually taken up by previous year students.
   • Generate the grade distribution for these breadth and electives based on students of a particular department only.

   • Find the subject that recorded most deregistrations, helping students know in advance about courses that are strict with attendance.
