This document describes an RFID and GSM based attendance system. The system uses RFID tags and a reader to track when students arrive and leave school/college and sends SMS alerts to parents. It consists of hardware components like a microcontroller, RFID reader, GSM modem and software like Keil Compiler. When a student's RFID tag is scanned, the time is logged to an EEPROM and an SMS is sent to notify parents. The system aims to save time and keep parents informed of their child's daily attendance through SMS messages in real-time.
