GTU Student Attendance System

An online student attendance management system for recording the student attendance over the web and generating various reports from it. Intended and designed considering the operation of GTU (Gujarat Technological University) it can be used by other Institutions as well if it fits their needs (feel free to suggest changes). We always aim to make this more and more flexible so that it can be used by any Institution. Developed by two students (Chirayu Chiripal & Kunal Ahuja) of SAL Institute of Techonology & Engineering Research as part of their final year academic project which falls under GTU.

Abstract

GTU Student Attendance System is an open-source Full Stack Web Development project. An online student attendance management system for recording the student attendance over the web and generating various reports from it. Intended and designed considering the operation of GTU (Gujarat Technological University) it can be used by other Institutions as well if it fits their needs (feel free to suggest changes). We always aim to make this more and more flexible so that it can be used by any Institution. Developed by two students (Chirayu Chiripal & Kunal Ahuja) of SAL Institute of Techonology & Engineering Research as part of their final year academic project which falls under GTU. It is built using PHP. The complete source code is publicly available on GitHub under the MIT License, making it a useful reference for students building a Full Stack Web Development mini project or final-year project.

1. Introduction

An online student attendance management system for recording the student attendance over the web and generating various reports from it. Intended and designed considering the operation of GTU (Gujarat Technological University) it can be used by other Institutions as well if it fits their needs (feel free to suggest changes). We always aim to make this more and more flexible so that it can be used by any Institution.

2. Objective

An online student attendance management system for recording the student attendance over the web and generating various reports from it. Intended and designed considering the operation of GTU (Gujarat Technological University) it can be used by other Institutions as well if it fits their needs (feel free to suggest changes). We always aim to make this more and more flexible so that it can be used by any Institution. Developed by two students (Chirayu Chiripal & Kunal Ahuja) of SAL Institute of Techonology & Engineering Research as part of their final year academic project which falls under GTU.

This project demonstrates how PHP can be applied to a real-world Full Stack Web Development problem.
