Abstract: In any education system, attendance of students is the first and foremost thing. Apart from academic compulsion, it reflects trust and belongingness of the students in system. In current scenario with large number of students and modern teaching equipments, the methodology of attendance keeping, and maintenance needs to be changed. Hence, we have developed a prototype system using PHP/MySQL in which attendance is marked via mobiles that use wireless LAN connectivity through Access Points. The attendances so marked are stored on to a server. From the stored data, the reports of the students (regarding status: regular, short or condone) are generated. The developed system is tested in classroom environment at G.B. Pant University of Ag. & Technology during teaching and is found to be effective. This system can be easily customized as per attendance system of any other Institute/University.
