Educational institutions have implemented various modern technologies to improve the quality of education such as smart class, e-learning and so on but one of the traditional methods still followed at many institutions is the manual attendance system. A faculty member must call out every student of a class, for every hour, for every single day to take attendance. This not only utilizes a considerate amount of time and energy but also leads to many confusions since it is done manually. This paper explains about the Biometric Attendance System which could automate the attendance process using fingerprints. With a one-time registration, students can mark themselves present as they enter the class without having to involve the faculty. This list can be sent as a document to the faculties through the mail. As fingerprints uniquely identify every individual, the process cannot be faked. This application provides an efficient yet secure method to simplify attendance and can be implemented at any institution.
