Data is presumed to be the next oil. Unless it is refined, it is of no value. But once it is refined and presented in the required format, is equivalent to gold. Education is also no exception. Big Data has found its way deep into the realms of education and is transforming the way education is delivered and consumed. This work is an attempt to explore the ways Big Data is transforming education and what are the challenges that beset this transformational journey. Some noteworthy tools that have attracted quite an ample amount of prominence are also discussed and how the conventional tools of education are being transformed or replaced by the tools powered by analytics and artificial intelligence are making way into the mainstream. The advantages of adopting the data driven technologies also find mention in this work. Ethical and moral questions have also been raised as analyzing the data generated by someone through digital interactions are always a shady area. There is no clear black or white to it.
