Smart attendance system Helping students and Teachers to overcome the traditional method of taking attendance.

The objective of this project is to ease the attendance marking system for both professors and students. The developed system will use QR codes to mark the attendance of students, which will reduce the attendance-taking time and will allow the professor to deliver more useful content in their lectures.

The project has two modules Mobile App for students and Web portal for teacher and admin of university.

1)Student Panel
2)Teacher's Panel
3)Admin Panel

When classes are large, taking attendance of students is a time-consuming task for university instructors. The Paper and Pen method to take attendance is slow and the paper system needed a data entering phase to produce reports, which also had comparable issues. The average age of smartphone users, according to statistics, is 26 years old. Hence, this project addresses the issue of such a waste of lecture time and proposes a method that offers to reduce it by approximately 90% in view of the widespread use of smartphones among university students. The suggested solution provides a QR code that students can scan using a specific smartphone app. The application will be able to verify the student’s attendance using the code and the student identity it has collected. In this manner, this method will not only save the time but also the effort that lecturers were expected to put in during each lesson. It will expedite the taking of attendance and offer plenty of time for the lecture to be delivered appropriately.

There are many proposals for Automatic Attendance Systems in the literature and in the market. The majority of them do concentrate on installing software on the lecturer's device, whether it be a laptop or a smartphone. By using a Bluetooth connection, it makes it possible to communicate with student's mobile phones and confirm their presence by sending their Media Access Control (MAC) addresses to the instructor's mobile phone.
