RFID Student Attendance Management System
The majority of educational institutions including schools, colleges, and universities that rely on traditional paper-based attendance systems have to face a lot of hassles every day. Be it the employees, faculty, and staff attendance or daily attendance of students, on an average 20-30 minutes gets wasted, which otherwise could be reserved for fruitful teaching-learning or other academics-related activities. Also, data entry errors are common when attendance is marked, generating attendance reports manually is difficult, and student data safety remains a point of concern.
To ensure error-free, accurate, faster, convenient, and paperless attendance management, educational institutions can switch to Biometric & RFID based online attendance management systems.
Features Of RFID-Attendance System
The RFID attendance comes with advanced features which helps in capturing, monitoring, and managing accurate attendance of students, faculty, and non-teaching staff, thus simplifying the overall attendance process.
1 Highly Accurate Attendance
With an unique UIN number, the RFID marks accurate attendance of the student/faculty. As the process is automatic, there is no chance of human error. With real-time attendance, the faculty can track the student activities effectively. Also, there is no chance of proxy as everyone has a unique ID, making the process 100% accurate.
2 Time-Saving Process
Unlike the traditional roll calling, RFID attendance takes barely a few seconds for marking the attendance just by displaying the RFID card near the reader. Also, the faculty can identify, verify, and authorize student attendance within seconds from the database. There is no need to maintain manual records as the process is completely automated.
3 Send Automated Notifications
The RFID attendance is linked with the Student Information System which automatically sends SMS alerts regarding the student attendance to faculty & teachers. It notifies the student’s chronic absenteeism. Also, it tracks the entry & exit time of each student in the classroom. It further notifies if the student or staff enters into restricted areas of the campus.
4 Generate MIS Reports
The system generates daily attendance register reports, daily attendance reports, and monthly/yearly attendance calculation reports to the administration and management staff. This helps in keeping a detailed track of a student's presence in each lecture. Also, it offers error-free AI-powered dashboards with graphical outputs which further simplifies managing student attendance.
5Significantly Reduces Workload
An automated RFID attendance system considerably reduces paperwork of marking student’s attendance, thereby boosts efficiency & productivity. It saves time, efforts, and resources to manage student attendance & records. No roll calls are required thus saving the teacher additional effort of manually taking attendance for each lecture. With this process, more time is dedicated for teaching in the classroom.
6 Monitors Student Activity
As RFID is installed almost everywhere in the campus, the student is tracked everywhere, including classrooms, library, hostel, labs, canteen, gym, mess, etc. If they are entering a restricted area without permission, their activity is monitored and a warning can be issued to them for breaking the rules. If a student leaves the campus early, both parents and teachers are informed immediately.
