In this research, we briefly discuss the steps of QA system and compare the performance of seven machine learning based classifiers (Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), Naive Bayes Classifier (NBC), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Gradient Boosting Classifier (GBC), Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), K Nearest Neighbour (K-NN) and Random Forest (RF)) in classifying Bengali questions to classes based on their anticipated answers. 
 Question: what ml based approaches were compared?
Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), Naive Bayes Classifier (NBC), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Gradient Boosting Classifier (GBC), Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), K Nearest Neighbour (K-NN) and Random Forest (RF)
