Abstract: Attendance for the organization is important in both academic and professional institutions, to keep discipline and track performance. Conventional practices such as manual roll calls or use of biometric scanners are highly time-consuming, error pro and susceptible to proxy attendance through multiple means. This paper proposes a Smart Attendance system with the help of GPS technology as well as the geofencing concept which does marking attendance automatically. As student’s smart phone entered pre-defined classroom region, system recorded the attendance of the student. The students are supported by a mobile app while attendance data is stored and processed in a cloud based backend. It also has a Defaulter List Module which computes percent attendance automatically and lists the respective students who does not attend by given cut-off (i.e. less than 75%). It enhances accuracy and transparency, minimizes manual labor, while enhancing rigour. Practical realization demonstrates that the system is capable of effectively avoiding proxy attendance and realizing real-time attendance management with reliability.
