Abstract
Student's academic performance primarily depends on the attendance and participation of
the class. The paper-dependent conventional attendance management for students in
institutions is time-consuming and laborious work for the educators. Sometimes students
get the opportunity for proxy attendance. Also, Students have no idea about the attendance
percentage which is mandatory for attending the semester final examination. The world
is turning towards automation for reducing human efforts and is striving to make the
process smart and reliable. There are many smart systems to optimize attendance. Each
system has some shortcomings and unable to achieve our requirements completely. In
this project, a novel system is developed which used the technology of biometric
fingerprint to control academic attendance. The device includes a fingerprint collection
terminal and attendance control module in a computer website and database, designed as
the transmitter and receiver node with the Arduino microcontroller, fingerprint sensor,
display, and Wi-Fi unit. This method deals with the control of the student's attendance
information. It generates attendance of students based on class presence. It publishes an
attendance excel sheet and percentage for every course of the semester. The developed
system monitors attendance without allowing students any chance of proxy attendance.
The system can be installed at any spot. This system saves time, minimizes the volume
of work that educators have to do, and replace the stationery material with a computer
system by eliminating the boring old form. Apart from these, we strongly believe that this
project makes us more competent for similar future tasks and enhance our technical
abilities.
