Student Attendance with Fingerprint

Reader
This project uses a biometric concept to facilitate the attendance
system in educational institutes. It uses the most reliable way of
uniquely identifying students through fingerprint reading. Such
type of application is very useful in school as well as in college for
daily attendance. Through this application we can keep a
systematic track of student's attendance. This project enables the
easy way of maintaining class attendance with fewer efforts.
It can be later implemented for the teaching staff.
Description:
The project requires a fingerprint reader for finger detection.
Every student can login to the system through finger
detection.
The fingerprint of the student is compared with the one
stored in database and if it matches then attendance is
marked for that particular student.
The system also generates a brief report of attendance from
the database according to subject-wise or date-wise as
required.
A defaulter list can be generated through system.
Admin has the option to take a print of the reports and
defaulter list thus generated.
Hence, this project introduces a manageable and systematic
approach of maintaining attendance records.
System Requirements
Minimum Hardware Requirement:

PENTIUM PROCESSOR BASED COMPUTER

256 MB-RAM
80 GB HARD DISK
MONITOR

 Fingerprint Reader
Minimum Software Requirement: VISUAL STUDIO (VB 6.0)
MS Access Database
WINDOW Xp Operating System
Advantages of the proposed project:1. Students will be more regular in attending their classes since
now no password or no attendance sheet signature is
required, so no friend or any other student can make an
attendance on behalf of others as fingerprints are unique for
every student.
2. Teachers do not need to waste their time approximately
15min of 1hour for taking attendance of students.
3. No need to maintain attendance sheet as the attendance are
electronically stored in database.
4. The system helps the faculty to easily find out defaulters.
5. User may easily get attendance history of a particular student.
6. It saves time, cost, efforts and institute resources.
Disadvantages:
The only disadvantage is that every class requires a fingerprint
reader to access the system.
Applications:
1. The system can be used for schools, college, or universities
for taking down attendance.
2. It can also be implemented in firms, organizations for
attendance purposes.

Description:1. Student will put their figure on the Finger print module. Module
will generate the corresponding digital data for microcontroller to
decode.
2. Microcontroller will compare the provided data with stored one
into its database and if mach found then only it will display roll
no. of the student and in time store message on 2x16 character
LCD.
3. Now when lecture is finished, student again needs to provide
OUT time by the same procedure.
4. Main important feature of the circuit is that it stores IN and OUT
time of every student, so that it assures that student has sat for
the lecture for the duration of the lecture.
5. If microcontroller just gets IN time and not OUT time then again
it will not mark the attendance for that particular student.
6. At the end of the day system can be interfaced to computer via
serial port to import all the data in the softcopy of excel sheet.
7. Buzzer: It is a signaling device. It beeps when user mismatch
