Abstract: In this paper we are emphasizing on developing this project that will help the lecturers to take attendance easily, securely and is less error prone. For this, we are implementing software “Mobile Phone Based Attendance System (MPBAS)” based on Android Technology. We are inspired to work on MPBAS from the existing system E-Beat. MPBAS will help lecturers to take the attendance of students using Smart-phone. Lecturers will login to the phone application, get connected to the server and take attendance using Smartphone. After taking the attendance in the mobile, lecturers will send it over to the server using GPRS and attendance list will be updated automatically. Lecturers will be able to edit the attendance by login on to the website. Students will be able to view their own attendance as well as curriculum details. To reduce the chances of fake attendance, the project would include Location detection using GPS. Also email would be send to the students by the lecturers, notifying them of their regular activities. Thus, the project will ease the workload of the lecturers by providing them the platform wherein they will be able to take, manage, update and see the attendance of the students with efficiency. Also the students will remain updated regarding their current status and thus can improve the performance by increasing their cumulative attendance in time. Keywords: Android, Authorization, Authentication, Smart-phone, GPRS, GPS.
