Abstract:
Attendance is the action or state of going regularly to or being present at a place or event. Attendance in an organization is important to ensure the continuous operation as it determines the strength of the organization. In most institutions the current attendance monitoring system for students is still being manually done. This method is time consuming, error prone and fosters laziness on the part of students, nonchalance attitude to classroom lectures and activities, student nepotism and deliberate lecture skipping which may prevent students from obtaining good academic performance. One reliable and efficient way to curb and totally do away with the error prone, student nepotism etc. is employing computerized fingerprint recognition attendance monitoring system which will enable management of the department ascertain the academic strength of each student in terms of student punctuality, regularity, commitment to classroom lectures and generate reliable attendance report for each student stored in a secured database.
