Break to fake attendance in degree colleges!
Bio-metric system to replace manual attendance
Bengaluru, November 23: The Higher Education department has decided to make bio-metric attendance system compulsory for the students to avoid fake attendance in all degree colleges across the state. The department would direct all colleges to set up the new attendance system by the end of this academic year.
Along with avoiding the fake attendance, it was decided to introduce this system to put an end to the allegation that the lecturers would not take classes at regular timings. If the new system is adopted, the number of absentee students would come down and it would avoid the teachers spending time sitting idle at the staff rooms.
The department has decided to implement this system in all degree colleges and universities for students and teaching staff. Every student and teacher should give his or her thumb impression while coming inside and going outside the college campus.
Data registration
During thumb impression while coming inside or going outside, the data of the students would be stored in the server. Since the data would be linked to the examination system, the students who would not get sufficient attendance would not get hall tickets for exams.
Applies to engineering colleges too
This decision would apply to engineering and polytechnic colleges in the state. The Higher Education department would shortly call a tender for installing the bio-metric system in all colleges.
‘Students of a particular university have given complaint that the teachers are not taking classes regularly. I have informed the vice chancellor of the concerned university to solve the problem”.
