Abstract

In many counties including India, monitoring student attendance, in almost all the educational sectors be it schools, institutes, college or universities, is still a tedious, time-consuming, error-prone, unmanageable and manual process. The above fact is hard to fathom in the present era where technological developments are on the cutting-edge and technology-driven solutions have served as primary key to unlock doors to trouble free quality life. Thus the paper aims to bring in lime light the importance of careful monitoring of student attendance, hardship associated with prevailing ways of monitoring student attendance, typical nature of problem of student attendance maintenance (as compared other problems with innate identification requirement), RFID as a promising technology, salient features (and needs) to which student attendance systems should be tailored. The paper reviews of some of the work done so far in the field of RFID based student attendance maintenance systems. The paper aims to lay foundation for focused research to develop and deploy not just feasible but broadly acceptable technical solution for maintenance of student attendance in all educational sectors.
