This document describes a proposed RFID-based student attendance system. The system uses RFID tags and readers to automatically track when students enter and exit classrooms. When a student's RFID tag is scanned at the door, the reader verifies their identity against a database and unlocks the door if valid. An IR sensor inside confirms entry or exit. This automated process aims to improve on manual attendance methods by eliminating errors and wasted time, while also providing administrators with real-time attendance data for grading and analysis. The proposed system architecture involves RFID tags, readers, a database, and IR sensors connected to a microcontroller. Several existing RFID attendance systems and their drawbacks are also reviewed.
