RFID BASED STUDENT ATTENDANCE TRACKING SYSTEM

Abstract

Most educational institutions administrators are concerned about student irregular attendance. And some of the student are not attending their class in full day. Truancies can affect student overall academic performance. At the same time the conventional method of taking attendance by calling names or signing on paper is very time consuming and insecure, hence inefficient. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) based attendance system is one of the solutions to address this problem. This system can be used to take attendance for student in school, college, and university. Radio Frequency Identification Devices (RFID) which will be placed in the students ID card which can be used to monitor each student with 10 feet distance inside the campus. With real time clock capability of the system, attendance taken will be more accurate since the time for the attendance taken will be recorded. The system can be connected to the computer via serial port and store the attendance taken inside database. A prototype of the system has been successfully fabricated. Thus using the proposed model the student attendance will be effectively marked and maintained. In future the proposed model is implemented as a real time approach with certain distance. The programmes are written in C# and .Net languages.
