Smart Hostel Attendance Management System Using QR and Biometric Authentication

Abstract

The Hostel Daily Attendance Application is developed to improve the efficiency and reliability of attendance management in hostel environments. Traditional methods based on manual record-keeping are often time-consuming and prone to errors. This system introduces a digital solution using an Android application integrated with Firebase Realtime Database to provide real-time attendance tracking. It incorporates technologies such as QR code scanning, RFID, and fingerprint authentication to ensure secure and accurate verification. The system enables wardens to monitor attendance, manage student records, and send alerts to parents. The overall implementation reduces administrative workload, improves transparency, and enhances student safety.
