Working of the BIOMARK:

The BioMark Attendance System operates through a streamlined and automated process, ensuring
secure and accurate attendance tracking.
1. Enrollment Phase
Students register their biometric fingerprint data, which is securely stored in a centralized
database.
Each fingerprint is uniquely mapped to the student’s ID for precise identification.
2. Attendance Marking
On class days, students scan their fingerprint using a biometric scanner or mobile device.
The system verifies the fingerprint against the stored database.
Attendance is recorded upon a successful match.
3. Location-Based Authentication
Attendance is only marked within the designated college premises.
If a student is outside the predefined location range, the system denies attendance marking
and notifies the user.
This feature prevents proxy attendance and ensures authenticity.
4. Real-Time Data Synchronization
Once verified, attendance data is immediately updated in the institution’s database.
Faculty and administrators can instantly monitor student presence through the admin
dashboard.
5. Attendance Reports & Analytics
The system generates automated attendance reports in Excel format.
Faculty (admins) have exclusive access to manage, export, and review attendance records.
The dashboard provides analytics and trend analysis to track student engagement and
absenteeism.
