Smart Schooling presents RFID based Attendance System, i.e. ID cards embed with RFID tags which facilitate auto attendance, saving time for the teacher as well as students for effective student attendance management system in India.

1. RFID Based Student Attendance
Management System in India

2. Gone were the days when manual roll calling was integral to
student attendance in class.
Though this traditional attendance management is still popular in
many a school, the concept of the use of RFID based attendance
system is gradually gaining momentum in city schools.
The teacher need not maintain attendance records by manually
calling out roll numbers or names of each student in class at the
start of the day or after lunch hours

3. Features of
RFID based Attendance System
Capability to store maximum records in real time
In-built real time clock
In-built communication interface for interpretation
and processing of data
Maximum reading range, transmitting signals at
certain frequencies
Auto attendance of students as soon as student
enters school premise / class

4. Tracking, monitoring, and
identification of students in
school premise and in GPRS-
enabled school buses in real
time
Generation of attendance
reports daily / monthly /
quarterly / annually
Keeping records of late arrival, early departure and time
summary
 Storage of complete attendance data
Easy transmission of information from the RFID tag to central
backend management systems

5. Why Schools should adopt
RFID based attendance?
 Schools adopting RFID technology stay ahead in competition.
Maintaining automatic regularity of student attendance and taking
action against late-comers and non-attendees, schools can not only
enhance academic performance of students but also play an active role
in the holistic development of each student. RFID technology also helps
enhance classroom security
The traditional method of taking attendance of students by calling roll
numbers or names is a time consuming process. Schools can overcome
this inefficiency and address the problem adopting RFID based
attendance. RFID tags help automatically record student’s attendance.
Teachers can thus devote more time in effective
teaching.

6.  A class generally accommodates a large number of students. Manual
signing or roll calling not only distracts attention of both teachers and
students but also often lead to false attendance record. There are also
chances of losing the attendance sheet owing to any possible
negligence. This can be avoided with RFID technology
At the end of a semester or a term, teachers often conduct
attendance analysis and provide scores accordingly. Manual
computation for obtaining a large number of students’ attendance
percentage is highly time-consuming. RFID facilitates attendance
analysis with a click of the mouse in seconds!
Automatic recording of the movements and locations of students
including their tracking and monitoring in the school campus or in the
classroom is easy with RFID technology. Come any emergency or
requirement, they can be contacted fast and easily. RFID also
facilitates teacher attendance including their allocation of subjects at
specified periods

7. Conclusion
Regularity of student attendance is a key concern in
schools and universities alike. Their overall academic
performance depends on attendance to a great extent.
RFID based attendance system facilitates auto attendance
saving time for both teachers and students besides also
enhancing the school's monitoring system. The fully
automated technology is highly flexible and reliable to
use. It gives accurate results and reduces paper based
work, thus reducing environmental impact
