Institute of Management Studies, Ghaziabad

Attendance System
The attendance is the core of education as it decides the participation of student in the day to day
life of any institute. In Institute of Management Studies, Ghaziabad we have two steps of
Attendance monitoring System.

1. Manual Attendance System

2. ERP Attendance system (Online)

Manual Attendance system:

In the present system all work is done on paper. The whole session attendance is stored in
register and at the and of the session the reports are generated. We are interested in generating
report in the middle of the session or as per the requirement because it helps in monitoring the
status of the students. These reports are generated fortnight and sent to Monitoring & Mentoring
Committee which are later forwarded to the respective mentors.

The attendance sheet has a specified standard format issued by the Registrar Office. The faculty
has to submit the Attendance sheet with the Course file at the end of the session.

ERP Attendance System (Online)

The manual attendance system is easy to maintain but it has many disadvantages which are as
follows:

Not User Friendly: The existing system is not user friendly because the retrieval of data is
very slow and data is not maintained efficiently.

Difficulty in report generating: We require more calculations to generate the report so it is

generated at the end of the session. And the student not get a single chance to improve their
Attendance

Manual control: All calculations to generate report is done manually so there is greater chance
of errors.

Lots of paperwork: Existing system requires lot of paper work. Loss of even a single
register/record led to difficult situation because all the papers are needed to generate the reports.

Time consuming: Every work is done manually so we cannot generate report in the middle of
the session or as per the requirement because it is very time consuming.
Moving into the digital world we are in the process of implementing an Enterprise Resource
Planning (ERP) for Automation of the System. This system is to implement following
procedures.

1. Reduce paperwork and save time and money with mobile and cloud-based attendance
management system

2. Eliminate duplicate data entry and errors in time and attendance entries

3. Improve visibility to track and manage student attendance & absenteeism across multiple
campuses

4. Real-time status tracking of leave requests

5. Automatic calculation of leave and reward points accrued

6. Easy attendance recording using RFID & Biometric based attendance system

7. Track the attendance of teachers and staff, assign work and manage allocation

8. Keep the parents informed about the students performance via Email & SMS alerts
