In the recent years, the popularity of the Student Attendance System has increased and many schools and colleges have started using the same. It has range of applications ranging from access control system, visitor management, finger print readers, biometric door locks and even face recognition systems. Different institutions make use of different systems in order to serve their purposes.
Avoiding Unwanted Situations: The biometric technology system ensures guaranteed attendance of students with the scan of fingers or recognition of facial features. In addition to that, it also ensures that the school does not have access for third party. In the recent years, crimes are increasing, and there are increasing incidences of theft, murder and kidnapping.

Conventional And Automated Methods: It is crucial to note that in general, attendance management system falls under two different categories. These include conventional and automated. The conventional methods include attendance registers, time sheets, etc. while the automated methods include magnetic stripe attendance system, barcode system attendance, biometric attendance system and radio frequency identification.
Obtaining Loads Of Benefits: Therefore, it can be easily said that there are loads of benefits offered by the attendance system, as a whole. Some of these include: • User friendly and easy to operate, • Highly accurate and saves time. • It is a reliable source of information helping to keep a track on students in schools, • It can enhance the security level to a great extent. • It is easy to manage students in different departments, • It solves large numbers of time tracking issues, • It often works in the technology of touch keypad technology or no touch at all for face recognition.
Thus, this kind of attendance system is an excellent advancement, and it increased the reliability. It also helps in gathering loads of information making management of lots of things easier.
