QR Code Based Attendance System

Manual attendance recording is a repetitive and time-consuming task that demands considerable human effort and administrative overhead. The traditional process, repeated daily across multiple classes, often reduces the time educators can spend on academic activities. This paper proposes an automated attendance system utilizing QR code technology to address these challenges. In the proposed system, students scan their unique QR codes in front of a camera, which then records the attendance and stores it in a centralized database. The system captures subject-wise attendance and automatically generates monthly attendance reports, including individual attendance percentages. By automating the process, the system improves efficiency, accuracy, and allows lecturers to focus more on teaching rather than administrative tasks.
