Abstract: The present work was carried out at the Technical University of Cotopaxi, which has a population of 5,327 students, in order to determine if the income level of the students' families affects the use of the internet and, in turn, analyze their Impact on academic achievement. For this, the process of extraction of knowledge of data mining (KDD) was used, using different algorithms and techniques; In the development, factorial analysis and cluster analysis were used to group students with similar characteristics in the use of internet in academic activities as well as in entertainment activities, obtaining from this analysis two clusters of each activity; and the chi-square test, the binomial logistic regression model, the omnibus test and the Wald test were used to test the hypotheses. In this way it was possible to conclude that the income does not directly affect the use of the internet in academic activities and in entertainment activities, as well as the use of internet in academic activities and in entertainment activities do not influence the academic performance of the students.
