Abstract

Nowadays, attendance management is a very essential task in educational institutions, but traditional manual methods

like registers or simple digital sheets are time-consuming, and the chances of getting errors increase. The common problems are

proxy attendance, data loss, and record maintenance. There has been so much research done on automated attendance systems

in the last few years to solve these problems. This review paper presents a detailed study on RFID-based attendance management

systems using the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud platforms. The paper analyses existing research works, which include

RFID, biometric, QR code, and cloud-based attendance systems. The advantages, limitations, and challenges of different

approaches are compared. Along with this, the areas of research gaps and future improvement are identified. This review paper

gives a clear direction to understand current trends and future research of automated attendance systems.
