Student Attendance System Using RFID

Abstract

In an educational system, attendance is considered as an important criterion to assess the performance of the student. A student is expected to perform well if he is regular to college. The traditional method of marking the student’s attendance is by calling the student one by one. This method consumes more time. In this technological era, everything is automized. In this paper we propose a system to monitor and record the attendance of the system using RFID and Arduino. Every student will be given unique RFID. When the students scans RFID card in front of RFID card reader, the attendance is automatically marked by reading the RFID tag in the card. It is then stored in Microsoft Excel file. Utilizing RFID technology for marking attendance is extremely well effective and saves the time of both the teacher and the student.
