Introduction

The project aims to discover and analyze courses among different departments which are similar to each other. This study will be a potential groundwork for inter-department coordination ensuring better management of university's academic resources. Further, this project opens up a dimension for development of a software that shall facilitate vizualization of alternatives of the course a student want to enroll in which is offered in other departments in a situation where they are unable to enroll in the primary one. The closeness between courses are calculated leveraging the semantic similarity between the course descriptions. That means, the descriptions are not evaluated on the basis of the keywords, but using the actual meaning dilineated by the corpus.
