How Hostel Biometric Attendance Works

Students begin by registering their biometric data (e.g., fingerprints), which is securely stored in the Hostel Management System (HMS) database.

Once registered, students can use biometric verification for attendance during check-ins and check-outs.

As students present their biometrics at the verification terminal, the system records their entry and exit times in real-time.

This attendance data is accessible to hostel management, wardens, and parents. In case of absence, the system sends automatic SMS notifications to parents or guardians.
