Hi,

Do we need to use only Random forest classifier for solving the problem? This is because when i checked the leadership i could see better accuracies of around 95% but i am stuck at only 77%. Kindly please let me know…

Use XGBoost/CatBoost/lgbm classifier models. It will give you accuracy of 95%. Later do some hyperparameter tunning using GridSearchCV to increase the accuracy.

Do feature engineering. Feature Engineering +feature_selection+ lgbm I got 2nd rank.
