Conventional attendance system followed in an educational system where the teacher call out the name of each and every student and mark the attendance causes time wastage during lecture time. This becomes more and more severe especially in the current scenario where number of students in a class is very large. Managing the attendance data of such a large group is also very difficult. Another disadvantage of present system is the chance for the student to mark fake attendance. Fingerprint based devices are being used in corporate environments. These devices use computer to store and verify fingerprints. It can be ported to academic environment with modifications.
