Students Attendance System Using Barcode

Abstract

The attendance of college students can be easily recorded with the help of this software and a separate barcode device, is used for this purpose, We need to trace each barcode and this software will help to record the attendance of that particular barcode owner for a provided date. The most attracting feature of this project is mentioned above moreover there are number of facilities included in this software project viz. we can manage their previous attendance records, add or remove the college students as they join or left colleges. Whole software can be accessed only by the supervisor also provided that supervisor needs to present the correct password, this feature enhances the security in our software project and so, no one can misuse it for recording attendance. It is developed to facilitate the general administrator system to manage the various attendance information and process, so that organization can access accurate attendance information quickly and easily as and when required, thereby improving its operational efficiency and effectiveness. The development of this software project also facilitates the general administrator system to manage information of attendance of employees as well as employee records exist in organization and also can access accurate information correctly and easily which leads to increase efficiency & effectiveness of the college administration.

Existing System

In existing method all work is done on paper. The whole session attendance is stored in register. It takes more time in calculation. At the end of sessions college/institute difficult to notice the student attendance of the student. Errors occur due to carelessness or oversight that may result in loss to the data and as to the organization. Students are generally not satisfied with the existing manual attendance tracking system because sometimes they cannot hear when teacher calls their name. These indirectly affect their attendance to class. Then movement is recorded in internal surveillance camera used as sign of attendance entry in one of the workplace. And there is no facility to barcode process.

Proposed System

Student Attendance System can reduce the time spent by teacher in calculating the percentage of attendance for a student as well as for a class. In a click of button teacher can generate report at any point of time. Moreover, student’s image which is displayed after the scanning process helps the teacher to identify students before recording their attendance. Movement recorded in internal surveillance camera is used as sign of attendance entry in one of the workplace. These advanced technologies require high costing and well trained system developer. Use of bar code scanner is popular among educational institution which is not financially supported and it does not require any well trained people to install and fix. Bar code scanner is used as medium to record the attendance for one of the secondary school in Malaysia since their student card is using bar code.
