This document describes a student daily attendance system application. The goals of the application are to automate and simplify the attendance tracking process, reduce paper usage, and enable communication between teachers and parents. It allows teachers to take attendance using mobile devices and send SMS notifications to parents. The proposed system provides a user-friendly interface and easy analysis of attendance data. It is more cost-effective, secure, and convenient than traditional paper-based systems. The application has modules for users and administrators and utilizes technologies like PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS and Android.
4. AIM OF THE PROJECT
Managing the attendance using traditional approach is really a cumbersome process. The person has to maintain the
attendance record in registers and file using pen and paper.
The problem with this approach is that it requires lots of paper which are the part of our non-renewable natural
resources. We are in the age, where we have to think about sustainable development.
Managing the attendance using web applications, provide an alternative way in this direction. Communication between
teachers and the parent is also an important issue.
Our proposed application provide all information about results, attendance and notification for parent and student
easily in online.
So, we also tried to bring the system which enables parent to receive the information of their ward of regularity on daily
basis.
5. OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT
The problem that guardians or parents are not able to get the status of their child time to time or we can say on daily
basis.
The application that we are building can allows teacher or any departmental head to take the attendance through their
mobile devices, manage records, inform to their parents or guardians to the status of his/her child of what actually
they are doing it.
It provides a good interactive user interface to get the user of taking the attendance and he became able to send the
SMS to the mobile number given in the details of the students in the file.
User should make sure that the mobile number entered is of their mobile device. So sending emails and SMS or
calling them individually is old process now.

7. EXISTING SYSTEM
It provides mobility to the users to access the attendance record at any time and at any place.
The Mobile Phone is relatively cheaper than the Computer on the average, so economically it has advantage
over that.
In an environment of poor maintenance culture, Mobile phones are less prone to malfunctioning when compared
to Computers so; Cheaper Maintenance is the next added advantage for any system based on mobile phones.
The reduction in Paper material being used in traditional method of pen and paper based attendance system,
thus preserving the Forests of the world (the small phone can contain hundreds of thousands of pages of books,
and written materials).
It is a Green technology.
Availability wise also it is preferable, today mobile phone is available to every other person as compared to
computer. So, any institution does not need to incur any extra cost while installing the system.
8. DISADVANTAGES OF EXISTING SYSTEM
1. It is time consuming
2. It consumes lot of manpower to better results
3. It lacks of data security
4. Retrieval of data takes lot of time
5. Percentage of accuracy is less
6. Reports take time to produce
9. PROPOSED SYSTEM
The advantages of our system are as follow:
Ease up the process of attendance.
Easy Analysis of data.
Better user interface.
Made access to the record of attendance available 24X7.
Reduced dependency on natural resources for paper.
Easy generation of summary of attendance.
Make the process of attendance a green process.
Provide communication between teachers and parents.
Automatic SMS will be sent to parents to inform the status of their ward whether present or absent in the institution.
10. ADVANTAGES OF PROPOSED SYSTEM
The Project has several features and easy to manage.
1. The System is user friendly.
2. Cost effective.
3. Back up support.
4. Secured Data.

16. CONCLUSION
In this paper we have discussed about the problems caused due to the use of traditional approach in taking the
attendance and solutions for that through the use of mobile and provide a new approach.
The goals achieved in following this approach: Automate the attendance management using mobile devices to
reduce the dependencies on natural resources and also provides a way of communication between parents and
teachers.
Integrating the student’s mobile phones with the application so that the application detects automatically the
students that are present is a great thing to be added in the future.
Integrate it with the centralized server of the college/school so that the server will send the SMS to the guardians
of the absentee’s students and informing them about his or her ward.
We will try to generate the daily report that will be submitted to the centralized server for its record.
17. FUTURE ENHANCEMENT
In Future work, This application to develop a cross platforms like IOS, etc.
In adding the more features student daily attendance management system to develop access with user’s
flexibility.
To authenticate the users based on the system users list which is maintained by the operating system
To restrict the usage of all files by the users based on their privileges on the system
