Abstract
Biometric Class Attendance System (B-CAS) will solve the daily hectic problem of manual attendance of the students. Currently, many automated attendance systems are available in the market that mark attendance through fingerprint scans, but their high prices restrain institutions from upgrading their manual attendance systems. Currently, teachers take attendance of the students by calling their names or roll numbers, but this method has many problems. Some students call attendance for their friends who are not present in the class at that time, or teachers usually lose their attendance sheets. So, in order to solve these kinds of problems, this system will help manage attendance by marking attendance through fingerprint scans using an easily available, low-cost fingerprint scanner. Students just have to put their thumb on the device to get their attendance marked. If the student’s record is present in the database, then the device will produce a sound to show that the student is being marked as “present”; otherwise, the student is not registered in that particular class. The system will be web-based, and all attendance records will be stored online. In this way, every student will be graded at the end of the day based on whether he or she has short attendance or the percentage of attendance. Every classroom will have a session opened for a particular class or section. In class, every teacher will just open the session for the particular section to mark attendance, and students will get their attendance marked by swiping their fingers on the fingerprint recognition device.
